Hi Guys
Just finnished my latest outfit and thought I'd get your opinions and maybe some advice

The costume is for a charity gig and everything is going fine except the makeup

It runs every time I sweat (which on bocks is always

)

Tried Snazaroo water based and Grease paint but all seems to get washed off

What I have come down to is an opera mask but as I have a big face (to go with the body

) they all seem to small

so do you know any shops that sell them so I can try

Oh and heres the pics

and they are all like £2!!!

Thanks DC

Problem is all the ones I have tried are to small and they don't give sizes might have to just risk ordering one

C'mon Jason your a smart guy

you can order a few if they are that cheap, and add them together

order one first see if it's big enough, if not order another and find a way, you are a god with costumes

Yep DC tried all the girly waterproof stuff and it washes off just as fast

Think I might try car paint next

that does stay on for a while but might not be to friendly

Thank Toddy but think I'll stick to getting plastered (the wife volunteered

)

Aaaah that clown outfit is cool, but also kinda scary.

Good luck getting a nice big mask

Nice outfit!

One idea might be to use a *THIN* layer of wax under the makeup, that would help. Hair wax would probably do it as it's designed not to start running under those kind of conditions. It could be pretty messy though, but maybe something to consider as a last resort? Hmm.

Good luck in finding a solution in any case

OMFG Nero that is so freaky :O

Jason

once your finished with the job thing your doing you mind coming down South and chasing my sister in the costume

she has a huge fear of clowns

I think Neros Clown would be better for scaring people DC

Nice one Nero

I managed to get a really good mask I London today (cost me £8 but well worth it as it fits)

All I gotta do is paint it now

Thanks for the hair wax idea jpirie might try that next time I need makeup

I think i should wear a clown outfit like neros for halloween

dark-castles2 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 23, 2010, 08:58:40 PM »

Well we all have to wear the same thing Matt

makes it look for effective :O

Squeeker · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:17:00 PM »

Really

I think most people should wear the grim reaper stuff, but those that can do flips should do slightly different :L

Hopefully I will be able to by then ><

I had the idea of a demon mask with full black and clawed gloves

dark-castles2 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:18:05 PM »

Dunno ill still flip in a costume

could be interesting
