As a homestuck who's been painting themselves grey for the past 6+ years I can't tell you how important priming/moisturizing before your makeup is. Also for cons, cream based is a must. I'll probably make a video on my homestuck makeup/ face paint eventually, but this video is so helpful for newbies to the world of paint!

I find also using a make up finishing spray helps alot too, but I haven't worn mine for a whole con yet😂

SHARPIE BATHTUB

[@zacksawyer7748]

First year clown student here! Mehron is our #1 company for clown makeup (at least for my college), and I’d like to add some tips. If you’re expecting to be out and about in makeup, wear sunscreen under the makeup. It does help! Setting powder is integral! There’s a brand we use (forgot the name) they keeps the makeup on even if you want to go swimming (why you want to go swimming as a clown is beyond me), but nonetheless is integral if you sweat. That’s all! Edit: yeah clown makeup is thick and you’ll definitely feel it!

[@wolfkitty42]

The clowns are becoming waterborne... that's why they need the waterproofing! Or something like that.

SHARPIE BATH 😭😭

[@SeabassFishbrains]

I worked as a professional face and body painter for years and I recommend using a Kabuki brush to apply and blend paint! It gives an effect very close to air brush and the secret to it is to wet your paint cake with a spray bottle and lightly wet your Kabuki brush with the spray bottle. Layering won't be necessary at all. Also, translucent powders and setting sprays are your friends when working with Mehron Paradise. And my favorite paint brand is Diamond FX.

[@ALZulas]

When I was in middle school, I was the Wicked Witch of the West for the school musical. My mom was in theater her whole life, so she knew a weird way to do colored makeup that wouldn't come off as you sweated under the heat of theater lights, kool-aid! She made a colored paste out of kool-aid and water and semi-dyed my skin. I was green for one day after, but it was PERFECT and the tin man was super jealous since my skin just felt like normal skin and he was caked in thick silver makeup. 😂

[@eyesofivy]

I worked at Terror Behind the Walls for several years and there was an actor there who performed shirtless and he would mix kool-aid and hand sanitizer and rub it on his whole torso to make himself ghastly colours.

[@ALZulas]

@@eyesofivy Nice! That must have looked so cool!

[@sunburst3476]

Using colored foundation can really help too, they can be more expensive tho. Sunset Makeup has a great collection. OH also there’s another company I forgot the name of it, but they have a lil fox mask thingy on their paint containers and the coverage looks great too. Also side note: I found out about this neck fan thing that you can use to cool down. And oh god it sound revolutionary, more people need to know about this. I think it’s an absolute need for cosplayers (especially fur suits). It’s a tad bit expensive, but it frees up your hands, and prevents you from dying from heat exhaustion so I think it’s a nice investment :3

[@lovelylynx5473]

oh yeah, nekoyanin is the fox logo one!! i also made a comment about sunset makeup lol also, nekoyanin doesn't actually do face paint/coloured concealer, it's graphic liner! so it's better for designs within the makeup rather than covering your whole face (although it IS capable of that I think)

[@sunburst3476]

[@yokonamigaara]

Back in the day of my Homestuck cosplay we decided to try a Cheap method of mixing regular foundation with grey eyeshadow. It honestly worked pretty well (we made sure to set it), but boy was it a time to keep the color mix consistent

[@niccyknickers]

I used to be a body paint model and the best advice i got to remove any kind of body paint is LIQUID SOAP BEFORE GETTING WET! Lather it striaght on your bod before getting into the shower. Make yourself grey smooshing the colours. Doing this I have never had to scrub my skin, and can get completely paint free in a max 2 latherings. Even with the dreaded staining aqua!

[@CatbaronAle]

“It’s the thickest makeup on the planet” “oh I believe-“ and then I just stared blankly as it got stabbed with a brush. Fantastic video as always 😂

[@oswaldears]

As someone who works in a store that sells these sorts of products, here’s my two cents on water activated makeup. Get mehron’s barrier spray and spray it on both before and after you do your makeup. Also if you activate the makeup with a mixing liquid (Ben bye’s liquiset is great for this) instead of water it won’t go all funky if your face gets wet later. Another tip is the brand Diamond FX. HIGHLY comparable to mehron paradise (as in I can’t tell a difference at all) but generally cheaper in price. As much as I love Ben nye as a company I say steer clear of their water activated makeup because it’s super chalky and patchy.

[@mckenzielovejoy]

I second liquiset!!

[@val_923]

when you use liquiset, can you mix it right into the pan like sarah did with water? or should you do it separate from the rest of the paint?

[@oswaldears]

@@val_923 you can mix it right in and shouldn’t have any issues.

[@girlmelanie4]

Deeper skin tones, it helps to use a primer to put on colored foundations or even color correct. Might even put on a thin white base and then your colored foundation.

[@garrettrobinson3826]

Hot tip: With the AQ paints, you can do the last activation with your setting spray and paint the last layer that way. Then set it with powder and spray again, and you'll have a really robust set.

For the sponge side the consistency actually needs to be more dry than when applying with a brush! It helps with the opacity!

[@TeacupTSauceror]

it would be cool to see you try the sunset makeup colourful foundations. most people i've seen try it have been makeup influencers rather than cosplayers so they can't really compare it to actual costume paint

[@Akatsukispion]

Awesome video, definitely learned some stuff! One thing I'd mention is that at least for me aquapaint is way more gentle for my skin, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend cream paint for people with sensitive skin bc mine breaks out like crazy if I use anything else. I specifically use the Kiomi aqua paints, they come premixed and have worked wonderfully for me in the past :) Edit: Whop you just mentioned it's not good if you're prone to breakouts 😅

[@tabooi9255]

ok as a Cats cosplayer, I gotta say i SWEAR by the cream based face paint (including clown white!!!) + transparent setting powder combo. I live somewhere rlly hot and humid so I use water based paints sparingly because i WILL sweat it off. I don't personally find clown white uncomfortable but that's just me :3

[@tabooi9255]

also my tip for the mehron setting powder: put a bunch of it all over your face, and then use a big fluffy brush to brush off any excess. it does get everywhere while you put it on but otherwise it stays

[@Loki-pz1uk]

you might be interested in a makeup brand i’m currently trying called Sunset Makeup. they have weird colored foundation and it seems okay application so far

[@Shadow3103]

The use of the cream base is similar to what they do on Broadway for Wicked and Elphaba's makup--they stick usually with a water based primer/thin foundation and then use the Mac Chromacake/Chromastick which is water based--and just seal it with translucent powder. All of these methods you've shown can be sealed by using Ben Nye's Final Seal makeup spray. That stuff is RIDICULOUSLY strong with how well it seals makeup both everyday and cosplay/stage makeup. I've sweat through entire shows and not had my makeup budge with that stuff.

[@Mintyeon470]

Yes! My friends and I were literally just discussing how they could paint themselves blue! This is perfect! I can't wait to share!

That infamous bathtub incident in the thumbnail 😭

[@MissTwisteddd]

That concealer around the eyes is a game changer I need to try!! Mehron Paradise is still one of my faves. A couple extra things I personally love that you might wanna try out! Mehron does a 'Clown White Lite' which is a slightly lighter consistency than the standard and I LOVE it. A little more comfortable than the standard and similar coverage. Also highly recommend trying out Sunset Make Up coloured foundation range. It's basically fully opaque coloured body paints in the consistency of a standard liquid foundation. Limited colour range but I've had a lot of luck blending several colours together for a different shade. Also it stays pretty well on a long convention day!

[@HatsWearCats]

Oh my god it's you from Tiktok! I love your Chut character

[@ariannademaria1592]

Professional facepainter here! The reason the color is so weird with the sponge for water based facepaint is happening for 2 reasons: first you should never use your regular makeup sponge for it as the regular stuff will mix with your new paint so you get a browned color. 2nd you should be using a paint sponge not a makeup sponge. The makeup sponge doesn't have the proper porosity for it. You need a bit more water on the cake and sponge it down a few times before applying to your face. You also can do contour, layer etc with the facepaint without ruining, however it takes a lot of practice. (Also face powder does help make it last)

[@erensalias]

As somebody who is blue more often than not for Dnd cosplays I wanna offer my tried and true setting method. I use the water based Mehron paints. First I prep with the Mehron alcohol setting spray to dry my skin, after my base is done I use that again followed by all my powder products (eyeshadow blush etc). Finally I’ll use the alcohol spray again, powder my whole face with the elf translucent setting powder AND the elf matte finish setting spray. This method keeps my makeup on for HOURS, and that alcohol spray is not only making it super transfer-proof but it keeps my face VERY dry. If you have dry skin this will not be the best for you but bodypaint makes me SUPER oily and this is how I keep it under control!

[@pumpkinette16]

The first moment I saw the sharpies I knew it was a sharpie bath reference 😭😭

[@bailey9750]

Some tips as a pro MUA and former Homestuck and Adventure Time cosplayer: use a heavy moisturizer before body or face paint! Some colors will stain regardless, but this will help it not stain AS much. Also, water activated paints are considered makeup! You were correct about not putting the paint too close to your eyes though. Kyrolan aquacolor is also an accessible option with tons of colors for water based paints. PLEASE invest in a good body paint sealer! Don’t rely on makeup setting spray. Ben Nye has a good affordable option, but if you can find and afford it I’d highly recommend Blue Marble or Green Marble. Also, for removal, a wash cloth and warm soapy water in the shower is excellent. If you have some tough spots, coconut oil or an oil based makeup remover works. You also do not need a lot of setting powder. If you can see the color of the setting powder on your makeup it’s way too much!

[@Rosiebud82]

My preferred method for con days is using proaiir. It's not a water actived paint; it's an alcohol based paint. It's my absolute favorite to use. They are made for airbrushes but I typically use a paint brush. They are really good especially if you have to pain your arms. I use it for my arm, chest and fave makeup for Princess Mononoke. It will rub off I'd it's being rubbed against anything but that's the same for any make up. It doesn't come off with water so it's really good for summer cons

[@rubyteacos]

I use Mehron's Clown White Lite for my Joker cosplay. I actually really like it: it's very comfortable to wear imo and the pigment is great (is opaque on my brown skintone). That said, when some gets on uneven it's so hard to fix or add more on without it getting more patchy (I use a sponge which overall gets me more even coverage than a brush). Like, you have to do it basically in one layer, as fast as possible. And for the life of me, I haven't found a way to set it which makes adding contour a nightmare. (I use the same powder as you but it still tends to pick up product off my face, or leave a patch of powdery white that doesn't match everything else and won't blend.) TBH those issues probably have more to do with learning curve and application technique than the actual product, but it's a pain. Which is too bad because again, aside from those issues it's my favorite product I've found. I'd love to see you try it out sometime if you want, these videos are super helpful and a solid white coverage can be so tricky. I used to use the white Paradise water-based paint, but that always ended up cracking on me where my face moves (not a good look) and then kinda fading/muddying almost into a gray after a while in those areas.

[@mckenzielovejoy]

With the sponge, what I have done for stage makeup, is actually use one of those art sea sponges. You just cut them to a more manageable size, then rub them in like the paint brush and apply like a paint. Just useful to get a lot more surface area a lot quicker. Also, liquiset, amazing.

[@acleus]

My main issue with face paint is sweating it off, so to get around that, I discovered that they make an actual facial antipersperant. It comes in gel form and if you try it MAKE SURE you get the one that says "facial antipersperant" cause a normal sprayable one is not meant to be used on the face.

as someone who first learned how to face paint using aquacolor and later switched to creamblend sticks, i'm never going back. I painted my entire face+neck+arms and the tops of my hands blue (using the dark blue and white sticks like they were contour and highlight) to a summer renaissance faire, in 90 degree weather, wearing a triple-layered long sleeved black canvas costume-- and it looked like i'd just applied it after sweating and running around in the woods for over 10 hours! they last FOREVER too, i've been using the same set of white, dark grey, and silver sticks for over 4 years for multiple costumes and they havent run out yet! my trick is to apply it sparingly directly to my face and then blend it out with a loaded sponge and brush.

[@xhelxhelcosplay]

As a Mina Ashido cosplayer, I have lived by the Mehron Aqua paints, BUT recently switched to colored foundation (haven't tried yet, because I've put a pause on going to cons, and cosplaying); HOWEVER, seeing you try the Mehron Liquid paints, makes me wants to try those; I really liked how the coverage laid down, and how quick it seemed to go down, rather than having to constantly mess with mixing colors to get my desired shade of pink 😅 Also, one of the things I do to help the aqua paints hold on, is I do a base of foundation; this was a trick I learned from watching Madeyelook, who also has her own line of face paints and brushes! Def recommend her videos if you're looking for face/body paint tutorials

A little tip: I do body paint very frequently and I work with the mehron creamblend sticks. I apply it with a makeup sponge, what I do to ensure that the paint is gonna have a very high coverage is that I wet my sponge and then I squeeze it real hard with a dry cloth to get all the water out, the sponge has be plush but not wet, that way it won't suck the product and leave you with a very nice thick coat of paint on the face, also make sure to set it afterwards with translucent setting powder. Hope this helps.

[@alyssaboursiquot5357]

I have a funny story about the Mehron liquid makeup. In my senior year of highschool we did Into the woods for the musical and had extra people for group numbers aka the Trees. I was one of those trees, the director got us the liquid makeup in green and brown so we could blend into the background. During rehearsal we did a makeup test, so we could get used to the product. I and my fellow trees quickly realized that the brown paint was exactly my skin tone.😂 TL:DR I now match my foundation to Mehron liquid makeup in Sable.

My favorite way to get a smooth effect with face paint is also paint brushes, but then a make up sponge to smooth and blend, and i get a very natural skin finish **Also DAMP sponge before using it with the paint, stops from absorbing too much paint. Set it with a powder of the same colour (when I do my demon paint, I use a matching red blush and set everything, black details with matte black shadow, and even metallic shadows are amazing over top for a scale finish) And set with a make up setting spray (especially something formulated for the summer, this can go for a primer as well, you can get ones that are meant to make things more water proof ect)

[@Sew-Into-Music]

[@bekybell5224]

with layering cream paints, you can wait for them to dry or do a LIGHT layer of powder in between layers to help. the ben nye powder is my personal favorite (I used to do makeup for a theater) choosing between aqua and cream paints can also come down to your skin type. Some people with oily skin CAN'T do cream paints, and some people with dry skin CAN'T do aqua paints. Someone in the comments already mentioned, but washing your face first and moisturizing / priming for your appropriate skin type matters a lot.

[@_eto_luna_]

Gurl this is a super useful video!

[@mostlyghostey]

Tip for setting powders! The reason you don’t like the Mehron setting powder is, from what I can see, that it’s not translucent. It’s just a white setting powder. Translucent setting powders are more sheer and will let your makeup show through better than a powder that is pigmented and will mix its color with what you already have.

[@juniperscostumery]

i LOVE using cream paint - i am much too sweaty of a guy for water based paints to want to stay on my upper lip for anything longer than 20 minutes. i use clown white as my highlight XD. and yeah - using cream is a little more expensive (two colors for base and contour, three if you count clown white) but i've also had really good luck being able to use eyeshadows as contour for cream paint?? which other people say doesn't work for them? maybe i'm using witchcraft actually??? (i just let it dry down for a couple minutes and then set it with spray and then powder and then powder eyeshadows for contour work great, lol) also the like button lighting up thing did not happen for me but that'd be so crazy if it did light up lolll

my method is £1 white face paint put it on with a fluffy brush and set it with *alot* of translucent setting powder (i ran out of my nice face paint i stole from my sister :< ) and if your asking, no, it does not stay on at cons, i learnt that the hard way

As a past Homestuck girlie, seeing the sharpie bathtub gave me war flashbacks

There's two brands that sell colored liquid foundation which seemed to have cosplayers in mind. They're Sunset Makeup and Indie Beat Cosmetics. I think that might be worth a try.

I love the first half of the video is Sarah cosplaying Jim Carrey as the Mask 😂

Personally when I do my body paint, I find it’s easiest to use the cream paints from mehron and blend that out and go in with an aqua pain over it. I use snazaroo for that usually and since my paints are the same color, if it wipes off there’s nothing left for them to see. I just find it’s easier to work n the aqua paint layer but the coverage of the cream paints is really good. Also I set my aqua paints with a layer of baby powder and that has always done well for me! It’s very similar to the white base method you used, just since I mostly use the same colors it doesn’t have that white under it. I also find that it feels very natural for me and not too cakey if you do it right. Takes lots of practice but yeah!!
