Reddit mentions: The best body makeup

Budget Friendly:

• Innisfree No Sebum Powder. If you are oily this stuff is really nice! It has a little bit of a minty smell but it does help with oil control.
  
  
• Real Techniques Sponge. I love this sponge a lot. I have a beauty blender as well but really I can't tell the difference finish wise when I'm using either one. So naturally I love the budget friendly one.
  
  
• Wet N Wild Reserve Your Cabana. I love this! It's called a bronzer but it's definitely a highlighter. I love that with the first layer it's enough to give you that lit from within look but is definitely buildable for much more intense looks. It can be a bit powdery but you get so much product that it's definitely worth it to me.
  
  The splurge items:
  
  
• Burberry Earthy blush. I have a small size of this that I got off of ebay and I love it to contour. It's natural enough that it doesn't look like a crazy contour color or anything. I bought the smaller size for about $22. My only qualm I have is that it's scented but not in a benefit blush way. It's intense so sometimes I sort of avoid using this product.
  
  
• Urban Decay anything. I currently have the naked skin foundation (powder), foundation (liquid), and concealer and they are all great. UD also makes it really easy to figure out your shade if you know your undertone. I also swear by their eyeshadow primer in Eden.

I really like wearing make up. I enjoy putting it on, I enjoy picking out new colors, and I enjoy wearing some art on my face. I wear make up at Burning Man. If you like wearing make up, and you want to wear it at Burning Man, go for it! Part of the event revolves around self expression, so do what you love!

Burning Man does present some make up challenges, but it's certainly not impossible. These are a few things that have and have not worked for me in the past:

-Get your eyebrows dyed at a salon. Seriously! Mine grow in blonde, so instead of messing with a brow pencil every day only to have your goggles rub it off, I bring my pencil into a salon and tell them to dye my brows that color. This will save you a lot of time and frustration.

-Skip the foundation. I don't personally wear powders, foundations, blushes, or concealers often, but I definitely would not wear them at Burning Man. If you wear it, you're going to sweat it off, or you're going to have to be that person who pulls out a mirror and fixes it every few hours.

-Waterproof mascara and eye liner. I saw a few people mention that the dust will turn your mascara grey, but I haven't experienced this for myself. I'm pretty diligent about wearing goggles in dust storms, and when it's not dusty, sunglasses.

-Lip stain. I'm not really a brand person when it comes to make up, but I'm definitely an amazon review person. This product had good reviews, so I ordered it for Burning Man, I got it in the mail last night, tried to today, loved it.

-Skin Care. Don't forget to take your make up off before you go to sleep. I made this mistake one night two years ago, woke up with pimples.

-Temporary tattoos. I have sensitive skin so I don't wear these on my face, but a lot of my makeup-wearing camp mates swear by them. You can use these in place of eye shadow, they last for days, and they only take a few minutes to apply. These can be simple or extravagant. I personally like these metallic body tattoos.

Hope this helps! )'(

One thing I should've mentioned... run this idea past your sister/MOH first, in case she's doing something already similar to this. Just say something like "I want to make a little something for everybody as a Thank You, what do you think of ____?"

And since your sister would "know" what your idea is for the rest of the girls, and because she is planning this, get her something extra or different as a Thank You :) Maybe like a necklace, fav perfume, wristlet, gift card to her fav store, OR an extra large bottle of wine haha. Besides the alcohol, Amazon (Prime, if you have) is awesome in terms of your timeline right now.

Not sure what your budget is, but here are some ideas:

Gift Bags

Totes

Temp Tattoos

Hair ties


Have fun!

Thank you! And of course. We used Mehron Paradise Makeup in Storm Cloud for our bodies and then the black accents were done with the Mehron Basic a Color Pallete.

Mehron makes amazing water based body paint. Highly recommend! The trick is getting it on nice and thick so it doesn’t look streaky.

Not an expert or anything, but I think that you would want to go for body-paint, not some kind of make-up. I think that something like this would probably work well, in terms of the color you're going for.

-edit-

wait, that's just regular paint. don't use that. something like it though.

-double edit-

maybe this? and I imagine you'll want to apply it via some sort of template, rather than by hand.

:D :D

I'm so happy to hear that!! Glad my intuition was right, because I was somewhat worried that it would struck you as "see? I -do- have to hide it to be accepted/good enough".

But instead you did hear it as something that can support you, as I meant it.

As I mentioned, they come in all kinds of colors and sizes, so you can even use it as fashion accessory that compliments your clothing! :)

Edit: and depending on your personal preference, you can go beyond a single color and go all the way up to full tattoo style art:

;-D

I keep using Amazon, but others like eBay etc. will have similar product ranges. Your local sport shop might also be a good chance if you want to get a feel for the material first.

Ive used body liquid latex like this https://www.amazon.com/Ammonia-Liquid-Latex-Paint-Ounce/dp/B006GDPLL8/ref=sr_1_14_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1523903997&sr=8-14&keywords=liquid+latex

If thats similar it works really well! if you have a good brush and make it thick, it comes off in a clean line. The real advantage is that it peels off so you can put the latex where you want one color, peel it off and put another glaze over the whole thing. plus its fun to peel off.

I'm planning to buy a membership for the month of my wedding (next April). I'll just go a couple times a week and a few minutes each time, but I'm naturally pretty pale and I loved my dress when I bought it with a summer tan, so I'll want to at least get a few shades darker. Don't forget if you're doing this to buy face makeup that matches just a few days before instead of in advance if you're doing your own makeup.

https://www.amazon.com/Millenium-Tanning-Bronzer-Lotion-13-5-Ounce/dp/B0058E3XJI/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1501786436&sr=1-4&keywords=tanning%2Blotion&th=1

This is the lotion I've used in the past and it's fairly well priced online so I'll probably order it again.

Reserve Your Cabana works as a setting powder and has a luminous finish. It's definitely less drying than Rimmel Stay Matte. If your skin tone is fair this would be a good option.

L'oreal True Match Powder is good too. It feels almost soft, and in my experience it isn't drying.

Haha, the BF got me these because they do actually have nail decals in the package. It was a "hold over" gift because 1) he knows I love nails and 2) he couldn't wrap my actual present which was a couple's spa day! But there are a ton of other tattoos in there that are just fine for nails. This one was one tattoo that I cut in half :)

So much fun! Impressed with the vibrant quality as well. We used a lot and probably could get another 1 or 2 uses for each of us.


https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BUPN6UA?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Cheaper than lube!

Thank you! They are just metallic temporary tattoos! Just something a bit fun for the summer! :) I got them on Amazon if you are interested!

I don't know anything about tattoos, but maybe it's a good idea to send him some practice skin, this is <$12 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Sheets-Tattoo-Practice-XLarge-Count/dp/B001CJSKUK

I hope he's doing alright otherwise

I bought this last week, shipped fast, looks good in the bottle but I haven’t put any on yet. Happy roo :)

My favorite, costs way more but I like everything about it:scent, color, feel.

Yea, I had to declare all of mine when I joined the Navy, but only so they knew they weren't gang related. I have a friend who's a nurse and she has her entire right sleeve done. She just wears something like this.

It's really not a big deal anymore. I have tattoos on my forearms and I just wore long sleeve shirts to interviews because I don't want them to judge me based on the tattoos. Once I start the job and get a feel for the mood there, I either switch to short sleeve or stick with long sleeve. My work ethic is what I'm judged on after a certain amount of time.

It matters even less when the tattoos aren't visible. Most people you work with probably have a tattoo somewhere. It's a 2.3 billion dollar a year industry.

My friend used these: Amazon

​

We only used the "big" patches of multiple jewels, and they stayed on fine through all conditions and didn't MOOP. Some designs also have some smaller single jewels, do NOT use those as they're not sticky enough and will actually MOOP.

They make a practice skin to practice tattooing on. I do not know how different it is from real skin though. Seems like it'd be better than a pumpkin, that's for sure.

Ninja Edit: Found some here. Seems to be pretty cheap too.

Also found a video

Thanks! we were thinking of doing the outline but since we couldn't find her brushes this was easier to do at the moment.

Also we used Mehron Brand makeup

The White

The Black

And a setting powder that keeps the paint from smearing and coming off

They cost about 10 dollars each but are super dense, one container will last a long time

Even though they may reject this but there are tattoo practice pads that he can use to practice until he gets better. they are like 8 bucks for 5 sheets. practicing on oranges and (preferably dead)pig skin would work as well. Any advice might prevent more regrats.

• Brute Tights
  
• Brute Singlet
  
• Costume Black Boots - So, I swear to God, I have a pair of black patent leather boots from prowrestlingboots.com that cost around $200 that I said "I'll wear after those $50 costume boots bite the dust"; a year now and these cheap costume boots are still going strong - a couple of the guys I work with bought a pair and swear by them too for the price.
  
• Stock Kick-pads from elucha.com - They don't sell the design I have anymore, but it's a white skull with silver revolvers crossed underneath
  
• Silver star kneepad covers from elucha.com
  
• ASICS Kneepads
  
• Liquid latex body paint for face paint
  
  Pics with/without kickpads
  
  Hope it gives you some ideas.

Yup! Made the shirt. Bought a black turtleneck and yellow long sleeves. I layered the yellow on top of the black, then used chalk to draw cutting lines across the top. I recommend putting the shirts on to do that (especially with boobs), as it looks a little different laying flat vs on your body. I then took it off to cut out the top portion of the shirt. I can't sew, so I used a hot glue gun to glue it on. Then I layed the shirts flat and used chalk to draw the angled front/back and cut those out of the yellow shirt. I recommend putting the shirts on again before gluing the rest.

​

For the communicator pin I found a template online and traced them onto foam. You can use spray paint to get the colors right. I used a metallic gold marker and metallic silver hair spray because I had them laying around. Glue the two pieces together, then glue onto the shirts.

​

For the pips I just found these gold sticket things in the scrapbooking section at walmart and painted over two of them with the gold marker. The third I used a black sharpie to fill the center in black.

​

I followed this guide almost exactly for the makeup. For the white, I used Mehron Clown White. The NYX Ultra Pearl Mania in "Yellow Gold" was not available so I subbed it in with NYX Pigments in GO H.A.M.

​

The contacts I ordered through SpookyEyes.com and got "Avatar." Although, if in the US I recommend just seeing an eye doctor and getting contacts that actually fit your eyes as these were pretty uncomfortable.

Get them some of these as a gift and help get them in touch with a professional that they can apprentice under.

The guy/gal has lots of promise.

I recently purchased some for Above & Beyond and EDCLV from iheartraves, then I found these on Amazon! They're just as good as the ones from iheartraves.

I will say that they fell off my face before I even left my house, so I needed to reinforce the stickiness with spirt gum. To be honest, one still fell off at the event. But I'm still going to wear them all three days at EDCLV.

I just used this over Halloween. I loved how easy it was to apply, how long lasting it was and it never cracked or flaked for the 5+ hours I was wearing it.

Have a bit of fun together and paint eachother with edible body paints :D

I like surprises just not a garbage bag full of angry bees please.

I bought the body paint and hair from here for EDC next weekend.

Got this one as well.

I'll find out which one is better next weekend.

Never used it, but I had a friend shopping around for Andorian makeup.

Try seeing what you of think of these?

I used Mehron Paradise Makeup in the shades white and storm cloud.

Me and my girlfriend did Rick and Unity for DragonCon last week. She used Paradise Makeup Light Blue - Amazon. The stuff spreads great. Just a little water and a makeup applicator is all we used. Barely used any of the makeup. Here are some pictures of us from the con At DragonCon Parade Close Up.

"amazon fluorescent body paint" as a google search comes up with a few good hits. That should get you started!

These are the ones I have had: http://www.amazon.com/UV-Glow-Blacklight-Paint-0-34oz/dp/B00BUPN6UA

Thanks!

I got my bruise wheel and two of the fake blood types from Amazon. I'm still waiting on molding wax to show up. It'll give the gashes more depth, instead of them just being blood.

Edited to add that there are links in there to the things I bought. You can't really tell in the Halloween subreddit style.

I mean, these exist - [Fake Skin for Tattooing Practice] (http://www.amazon.com/PFT-Sheets-Tattoo-Practice-XLarge/dp/B001CJSKUK)

Could use those as a base and do what you're describing with latex on top of that/rigid colloidal and blood. I do not know how they'll take to the details, they're made for practicing tattooing so that is their intended purpose to act like synthetic skin. It might work as a base, and it's cheap, and it's in sheets! Maybe!

You can also use liquid latex not necessarily marketed for nails. I use this stuff and refill old liquid latex bottles with it. Should also work with an empty nail polish bottle. Might make the search a little easier if you're not limiting yourself to the more popular brands for nails.

Crown x

This might look cheesy but I kind of like how these look on her arm...tattoos

Ooo these are cool!

Depending on you not having a latex allergy. Use some body paint to paint on a bicycle shorts and jersey outfit. Then go biking :)

I really like these face jewels. Not a tutorial, but they are long lasting

> oh sure, that explains the actual blood and the actual injuries in some of the follow-up videos i've seen.


Case closed then huh?

Gloves aren't a bad idea. I was going to say sleeves like this You'll have to search for one that matches your skin colour or you could get your dress colour. Make up also isn't a bad idea. Gotta look for a professional though.

Not as good as pig skin but you can buy practice stuff online

welp, a fantasy is just that... a fantasy. it's fun to think about but actually doing it (for her) might be too scary. I wouldn't stress too much about any of this.

don't buy them yet, but they make sleeves that look like you have an arm(s) full of tattoo's. 😜

for future reference:

https://www.amazon.com/20PCS-Temporary-Tattoo-Sunscreen-Sleeves/dp/B01I1VK4ZA/

Practice skin. If you want to go above and beyond, and are a hopeless romantic, contact a local butcher and get her the hide of a freshly slaughtered pig. Pig skin is the closest substitute for human skin, and if she wants to be a tattoo artist it's the best medium to practice on. Maybe some incense and flowers as a stocking stuffer, because your place might smell like dead pig for a while.

Not that they never did, but I know some people that became professional tattoo artists, and they never mentioned using a pig. Historically I know it's been done, but I'm not sure it happens much now, at least in the US. You're spot on about drawing a lot, and also sweeping floors (because you're an apprentice in a tattoo shop). For practice with a tattoo gun a lot of them use themselves, and their buddies who already have a lot of tattoos and won't mind a silly little token from their friend.

I would say it's more likely that in 2017 there are companies that sell some kind of "skin surrogate" to test on than using a pig (or part of a pig). Yup, one google search and here it is. I'm not sure if this is frowned upon in the real tattoo community (as opposed to the DIY tattoo community).

Here ya go. There's tons of different kinds, just google 'uv fluorescent paint'.

Basically a rubber pad

Pork bellies, baby! But nowadays they have [fake practice "skin"] (https://www.amazon.com/PFT-Sheets-Tattoo-Practice-XLarge/dp/B001CJSKUK). Then once they start on customers they should only by copying small simple flash designs until their line work and shading are solid.
