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😂
…so no sharpie and bathtub? (Sorry I had to)
IM HYPERVENTILATING. NOT THE SHARPIE BATH.
@@ssnekkyit is
@@theredproxy IT IS? I’m so fucking stupid oh my god my friend is obsessed with homestuck I should know that anyways THE HOMESTUCK PFP MAKES THIS SO MUCH BETTER LMAO
YESSS SHARPIE TUB ALL THE WAY
You know what I’m doing a sharpie bath
SHARPIE BATH 😭😭
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!
The clowns are becoming waterborne... that's why they need the waterproofing! Or something like that.
thanks for the tips! I don't have any experience on clown/cosplay makeup so learning anything halps me
I always forget that clowns can study to be clowns, and whenever im reminded of the existance of classrooms filled with clowns my day instantly gets better.
New fear unlocked: a horde of clowns swimming, I'm not even afraid of clowns, but the idea of a bunch of them in water-
is it possible the brand is Graftobian?
I'm way too lazy to do face paint but if it's Sarah Spaceman I will click and happily watch every time 😌
As a professional makeup artist and a body painter I would love to point out that you can use a liquid set in your Aqua colors instead of water and it will make them water resistant
But if their water resistant and you use water to get the aqua color paint off
Wont it not come of because its water resistant?
@@cameronclarke9010 water resistant not water proof
@@Eikogacha aren't they the same tho?
i dont think so but im not exactly sure@@cameronclarke9010
FR?!? that's so helpful
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.
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. 😂
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.
@@eyesofivy Nice! That must have looked so cool!
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!
“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 😂
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.
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
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)
@@lovelylynx5473 Oh yea, that's what they were called! I've seen a lot of their coverage demos, and you can cover such a huge area with just one dip of their liners XD it's pretty great
i was just about to mention nekoyanin
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
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.
I second liquiset!!
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?
@@val_923 you can mix it right in and shouldn’t have any issues.
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!
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.
as a sweaty person, the mask test scared me
also as a former homestuck cosplayer, always always always set your makeup :)
As a person wanting to do a Pomni as their first sewn cosplay, you’re right on time.
Hey, I'm also thinking of cosplaying Pomni someday!
I’m doing Pomni too! There’s definitely gonna be lots of Pomni’s at cons in the near future fo sho LOL
I thought Abt cosplaying Pomni as well, or Ragatha!^^
I'm planning Ragatha too lol have fun with pomni!!
ooh awesome! i'm gonna be doing jax as my first sewn cosplay :)
For the sponge side the consistency actually needs to be more dry than when applying with a brush! It helps with the opacity!
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
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
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
That infamous bathtub incident in the thumbnail 😭
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 😅
Yes! My friends and I were literally just discussing how they could paint themselves blue!
This is perfect! I can't wait to share!
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)
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
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.
Ive watched your channel since you had about 10k and your videos ended with reading about 10 patreons and now hearing the list go on and on for a few minutes makes me wheep. You deserve all the support that you get and I am so glad you chose to do youtube full time :)))
Couldn’t have gone full time without you watching too, so thanks to you as well!
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!
“Kitty!!!” I’m dying lol. I’m not sure of your cat’s temperament, but if you think they wouldn’t freak out too much you should do a video trying cat cosplay
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!
Oh my god it's you from Tiktok! I love your Chut character
The first moment I saw the sharpies I knew it was a sharpie bath reference 😭😭
wake up babe new sarah spaceman video
the setting powder thing is such a mood. i hate setting powder so much. it hangs in the air too so you have to like hold your breath whenever you do it and you end up choking on it regardless.
sunset makeup makes a pigmented enough foundation for dark skin tones, in all range of colors. hoping you see this sarah bc itll change your cosplay life i PROMISE
I'm a very budget friendly cosplayer from the UK and my go to face paint ''trick'' is to take my snazaroo face paint and apply with a brush same like you but afterwards when its more dry i lightly go over with a sponge to help blend the streaks^^
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
You can't use alcohol based products around your eyes though, be careful!
@@frankiemillcarek6976 I don't. I don't even use water based body paint near my eyes. I only use eyeshadows
Your literally one of my idols aaahhh 😭😭
Ever since I’ve found you, you’ve genuinely inspired me to try to learn how to sew properly, I always had this old sewing machine lol, guess I’ll finally put it to some use!!
I’d love to see you try the colourful foundations from Sunset makeup! They look like a rly good alternative to body paint but I haven’t tried them myself
The reason the aqua color stays on the clown white better is because when it dries it’s basically sets the clown white. I love the explanations!
Im planning my first non-human skintone cosplay, so this is fantastic timing
This video appears and I'm like rn finishing everything of my white diamond cosplay, this is perfect JSDJSJDJSJ
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.
Yay! I have a costume that I have been upgrading for the last two Halloweens and struggled to find the right color of face paint. 9:15 With your tips I now I know how to mix my own!
YESSS NEW VIDEO!!!! ALSO TY FOR THE TIPS!! BEEN NEEDING THIS BC I LOWKEY WANNA GET INTO COSPLAYING-
hello hello!! I've seen videos on tiktok of a small business that sells coloured foundation!! im not sure of the shade range (I think just red, orange, yellow - purple etc currently) but i know that they function like normal makeup so it should be easier for people who are more used to that
Gurl this is a super useful video!
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.
Awesome. I do shaakTi, so much white and red. But i seal my face with spray bandages - the one for road rash etc - it helps it stay on and none transferable for 6 hours. Also ben nye transparent setting powder is awesome.
SHES BACKKKKJ YESSSSS
OUR QUEEN IS BACK!! HECK YEAH!!
This is really cool! (Also that sponser transition was the smoothest thing I've ever seen lol.)
Amazing vid! Love the care you put into the editing🩷❤️
This video came on my recommended at the exact right time! I'm wearing bodypaint at a con this saturday and now I'm feeling a lot more prepared! :D
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I'm in the process of upgrading my Enmu cosplay and I wanted to get into body paint (since he's technically grey in canon) and I had no idea where to start!
Will add in….moisturizing + primer + setting spray before the any face makeup will help it stay. If you are wearing it all day setting powder and then an alcohol based setting spray is the way to go. Ben Nye final seal (the best) and Mehron sealing spray (alright) are going to stay on for a long while while you’re setting. Also a very big fluffy brush for the setting powder.
This video is a godsend! I'm preparing to make a cosplay involving bodypaint in a month and this is exactly what I needed to improve my results
You should try Sunset Makeup they have a bunch of colourful foundations, eyeliner, ect. And a lot of it is waterproof apparently
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
your crochet hair band thing is adorable
RCMA beauty is my favorite setting powder!
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.
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.
I'm always impressed by your creativity in body painting content that consistently entertains and sparks joy.
I wish I had this video when I first started doing bodypaint, it's so detailed! You've probably saved hundreds from the dreaded sharpie dye
I love watching you do random things
KITTYYY!
Never used it but apparently Sunset Makeup's color range foundation is a good product for facepaint? It comes in a rainbow of colors and white and black for mixing so you can make whatever shade you need
HOLY CRAP NEVER THOUGH I WOULD HEAR SARAH MENTION THE SHAPIRE BATH
Instant subscribe and like for this video. You get right into the method and explain it so well! I am SO going to try your Ride or Die method for my Widowmaker
I love the first half of the video is Sarah cosplaying Jim Carrey as the Mask 😂
These tips will actually help so much because I did Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas and it was so hard to make it not streaky!!! Also im so pumped for snow miku aaaaaaaaaaaa
How do you manage to upload a really relevant specific video about somthing I need help with everytime??? This is so beyond helpful for me rn thank you!!!
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.
Sarah is a lifesaver❤ and time saver as well haha
I haven’t tried it yet but I recommend trying Sunset Makeup’s colorful foundations! They’re literally just foundation in colorful colors, and you could mix them to make pretty much any shade. I’ve seen some people who do bodypaint give it great reviews, so I’m gonna try it when I eventually do Jester, since I sweat too much for the mepron aquacolors RIP
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.
Ooooh, i just passed my certification test today!! (With 2 minutes left 🍠🎫)
Pretty unrelated but i’m just really happy because all of my classmates said it was so hard and failed or just barely passed but i did pretty well! 🍓🤙👨🎨
This video is so fun, I learned things I didn't know today! I wanted to say though, the other thing about clown white is that it WILL pick up little dust and hair particles if you don't set it. You most likely won't see them, but you'll certainly feel them. It's honestly a sensory nightmare, but there's nothing quite like it in terms of makeup.
this was really informative i liked the liquid makeup!! the like button did light up haha
So glad to know the Sharpie bathtub story is still going around!
YOU KNEW WHAT I NEEDED ... will probaby have to finally dabble into body paint because of an oc next year so this is worth measured in diamonds, thanks so much! xD
There's a blue skinned character I've been wanting to cosplay but was nervous about working with body paint, so thank you for this video!!
That blue with blocked eyebrows is giving Handsome Squidward. Honestly? work🎉
I love kitty transitions. ❤
I LOVE IKR COSPLAYS AND VIDS SM!!!!!!!!!!
Very informative, thank you!
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.
16:34 The proper term is ‘powder puff’, if you’re wondering.
I've used on my sweaty face some cream base, brush for mineral makeup and eyeshadows, it works well and it's quite comfortable :D
I usually use painting sponge or clean dishwashing sponge with body paint. Works well and fast.
I've been thinking of using Kraze FX facepaints for my eventual Pomni facepaint (well, facepaint in general but so far Pomni's gonna have the most out of my cosplans). I've been told that wax-based paints will stay better on oily skin (which I have), but I'll definitely try out the Mehron paints to see which one will work better! (and also MAC cosmetics as recommended by my sister)
I do clown makeup fairly frequently, and I LOVE mehron. I actually use the mehron setting powder for my normal makeup as well because i love it so much lol.
also YEAHHHHH MEHRON CLOWN WHITE BASE. I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT. I usually mix mine with a little bit of cream foundation and it makes a super nice clown base that takes eyeshadow and blush well
THE SHARPIE BATH 😭
Thank you so much for this! I would have really needed this when I was Ahsoka at a con lol
Honey wake up, cosplay mother has a new video up!!!!
For my Mollymauk cosplay I use water based makeup but spray it with setting spray thats meant for sweating. It helps keep it on and less likely to come off. I then do my eyeshadow contouring and other makeup before spraying the setting spray twice over. I did the same thing for my Skinbleshanks makeup for Cats and it didnt sweat off even after all the dancing
The Paints and this video are amazing ❤Great to Listen to while heming a Circle Skirt😂
Mehron's Clown White is amazing for certain uses!
THE SHARPIE BATH IN THE THUMBNAIL LMAO--
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)
