I'll see you all down at the morgue.... eventually....

So, [livejournal.com profile] chronivore gave me his airbrush since both mine are dead ::glares at brothers::
I am going to try my hand at some airbrush makeup....









Any suggestions for makeup brands/where I can get airbrush makeup?

yes, more distraction. leave me alone.
Yes, I cant afford expensive stuff, so if theres a way to use powders/ ben nye stuff, let me know, OK

When we can afford it, trip to the MAC Pro store in Vanc, BC is in order. I believe they have stuff that would work, not to mention their watercolor cake makeup and such.

IME, theatrical and sfx makeup works the same, if not better (and cheaper!) than 'cosmetic' makeup.

Display and Costume supply should be able to help you out. ;)

Ben Nye makes a good body paint for airbrushes. You can get it at Display and Costume and at PNTA in Georgetown.

(I love that first picture! Awesome look and easy to replicate. I'll have to play around with using fishnet as a stencil...thanks for posting that!)

You actually don't *need* special makeup to use with an airbrush. You can use any liquid makeup or body paint. If it is water based, just thin with plain ol' water 'til you get a consistency you like, then spray away! That said, the Ben Nye MagiColor liquid paints are easy to use in airbrushes and have great pigmentation/coverage, are smudge resistant, and also wash off easily (the reds stain a little bit, not nothing drastic). You can mix some Final Seal or similar product in before you spray & that'll make it sweatproof.
