Face/body paint

[Rodimus13]

I know we have cosplayers here.

I need to know... what is a good brand of body or face paint/makeup the has grey. I have an idea for a OC and I'm challenging myself to try stuff I haven't done to encourage my son that it's onto make mistakes.

So I'm jumping feet first into a OC tik too thing.

Thanks!

hmm... way back in the good ol' homestuck days, the brand everyone used was "Snazaroo"

[Rodimus13]

It's safe for around eyes and mouth too? I mean I just need it for videos but I wanted to be sure.

[BobbyjoeX]

i have no idea, i never used it.

Edit: on the compact i sent the image of it says keep away from eyes and lips. if that helps

[Rodimus13]

that.... doesn't sound safe. I'll keep looking.

[BobbyjoeX]

i say good luck cause i think almost all face paint is an eye irritant

I think Mehron Paradise and Ben Nye are pretty good brands that should have a grey. I wouldn’t recommend using any body paint on your lips or right next to your eyes though, you should look for grey lipstick and eyeshadow for those parts.

We just used regular latex tube paint in wrestling.

Was not an irritant to our skins or eyes, was not poisonous.

Hey, I actually work as a face painter for my day job (and also administration, but only because face painting is largely seasonal). We use nothing but Snazaroo, and we freely paint over eyes and lips. Rarely (a handful of children out of a few hundred) we'll get some eye irritation, but it's minor; they get teary-eyed for a minute and and then they're fine. Snazaroo is about as safe as it gets as far as face paint goes.
Only thing to watch out for is that the darker colours, particularly black, will stain. Grey freely washes off though.

Sweet, thanks!

Guess I'll order that then.

[Rodimus13]

Yeah I break out from those, learned that as a kid.
