Thread: Sweat-proof make-up/latex?

Tweet

I'm planning on going to a swing dance party this halloween and my costume is going to involve several individual latex prothstetics (nose, chin, ears, etc) as well as heavy make-up...lets say something like the devil where I would be entirely covered in red makeup.. Swing dancing can be a very high exersion activity, to the point that in the summer i take multiple shirts with me de to the sweat.

I was hoping some of you all on the forums could give some advice as to specific ways to eliminate problems associated with make/up, glue, and sweat.

Also, as my hands are going to be coated heavily with make-up, is there a way to keep from turning my partner (hands and clothes) red as well?

thanks!

Ben,

have you ever thought of airbrush makeup? If so, and you have access to an airbrush, try a product put out by Michael Davy. www.michaeldavy.com
It's called AGCP2 and is much more durable than other airbrush makeups. I personally have not tried this particular product, but have used their regular airbrush makeups and they are very nice.

Good luck!

Ben,
there is a special glue for resistingsweating, don't use spirit gum, either pros aide, monster makers makes a great one and reasonably priced...hopethis helps
