Ah, I dig those arm wraps. Leaving them at length is totally impractical, but it would look super cool. Hi Sophie! Your costume is great; very elegant and just gothy enough to look like a Sith!

Hi LR,

Your skills never cease to astound me (except maybe your skills in charging batteries for your sabers  Grin) These Lekku and your makeup have to be pretty close to studio quality, they are awesome.

points for your efforts (will drop another after 24hrs OK)

Wow LR your lekku (and makeup job) look incredible!  I can imagine it really adds something to the finished ensemble  Smiley

Just out of curiosity, how long did the makeup application take?

Point!

Pretty sure they still astound you with how BAD they are! lol Though I am happy to say that I charged 3 sabers this week!

Application took far longer than it should have because I was experimenting with brushes. I found that a good old fashioned wood-handled sponge paintbrush works better than any makeup applicator I own XDD It also works nicely for applying things like blush and contour without creating streaks in the makeup. Since the paint I'm using is water-based and not alcohol-based or a mix, getting it to be even and not streaky is a little more difficult. It's significantly cheaper, but you have to work a lot harder. It took about an hour for the face. I think it should only take around 30 minutes now that I know what I'm doing better though.



I'm planning on submission photos soon, so I'll be sure to share an action shot when it's all on.

Thank you so much everyone for the points!

I knew that makeup could be involved, just not to that extent  Smiley

I have to reiterate: you did a fantastic job, especially matching the lekku to your face paint!  Can't wait to see the upcoming pics!

Keep it up, LR  Smiley

It's because you have to do several layers to make sure that the skin looks even and let them dry in between (dry time adds time), and I have to inevitably redo much of it after the eyes because I'm incompetent at applying eye makeup (I ended up using a sponge paintbrush for the eye shadow as well, because it caused the least disturbance to the yellow underneath

Question: for my wife's character, she's got blue lips.  What's the best lipstick to use?

NYX will have your weird colors, although it depends on the shade of blue you want. Their lippie in Earl Grey is a nice, cool toned pastel blue, but it has basically no staying power, and needs to be reapplied often.

Lime crime also has a pastel blue, but it's matte, and I think it's special edition and might be limited. It's Thistle. This sticks on forever and you need an oil based remover to get it off without removing a layer of skin.

Maybelline has a good dark blue, in their colorsensational line, called Midnight Blue.

She can use the trick where you layer powder over a tissue to make it more lasting
