Description
A photo from my "dry run" for my Carnaval makeup. My final makeup will differ from this, but this is how I tell if I like what I see in photographs. Often, what I'm crazy for in my mirror doesn't photograph the way I want it. I already know what I want to change, but for now, this is what I'm working from!As luck would have it, let me know about a contest that's running right now, [link] - and I'm submitting this photo....this explains the title and the border.
Carnaval in less than 5 days! Wish me luck!!

Fabuloso! Your fake eyelashes look like they have pollen on them! That's awesome. So cool to see the development of the makeup, too. Like Before-n-Afters!

Thanks! The long, long lashes actually had pieces dipped in gold - they came that way; I didn't make them!

I figured it was something like that, but the context provides the perfect interpretation!

I have two words for you: Ben Nye. His makeup is highly pigmented and if you use a cream and then overlay with his pressed powder eyeshadows/blushes, you've got a lovely vibrant look.
There's a new set of folks too....what is their name.... - goes to look - Paradise Makeup AQ - and that's what I used for the black. You apply it with water - I used a paint brush - and it's VERY deep and pigmented.
Check your local costume shops; they'll have it!

Thanks. I always like Kryolans, but am almost out, and need to buy some more. My next set I want to have a metallic sheen to it

If you're trying to do all over body paint, Mehron does metallic powders that you put on with some kind of liquid to "set" it that is wonderful. I have the Kryolan metallic wheel, but I find them pretty difficult to apply. Maybe I just don't know how??

I've never done full body. Just faces. I was just trying to figure out why places like Disney and Universal facepaints always look better, and I noticed they always have a metalic glittery feeling to them

Ben Nye has a line called "Luminere" or something that is a shimmery eyeshadow that's highly pigmented. They have matte, too, but I LOVE the Luminere line. I'm working on getting one of each color.
