Don't fear the body paint! I know it's scary to take on a super intense special effects makeup look like face paint, but I promise it's not as hard as it looks. With these tips, you'll be transforming into a tiefling or orc or genasi or other colorful fantasy hottie of your choice in no time!

Awesome
YOU AND LAURA BAILEY OMG I CAN'T EVEN
Congrats on the CritRole collab, Ginny 🍭 🦊
You and Laura absolutely killed it (and my sides from how much I laughed)
Photo of the two behind the fairy in the World Anvil add ~ 3:00.
Was a cool surprise to see you pop up in a Critical Role skit
"And be sure to thank a Homestuck for their contributions to cosplay" excellent and true and based
Don't use sharpies in a bathtub peeps!
Actual facts
I think the colourful boogers might be caused by the lacrimal punctum, small holes in the bottom eyelids that lead into the nasal cavity. It's because of them that you get a runny nose when crying.
Interesting, I didn’t know that
Thank you for your insight. Good to know. ^-^
for example, getting your eyes checked and blowing out day-glo boogers
That makes sense! After the optometrist puts dye in my eye, I get colourful boogers too lol
Another thing might be inhaling through your nose picking up tiny amounts of loose pigment from around the upper lip
It's oddly comforting to hear you say that you get paint on your clothes as well, because honestly I thought I was missing out on some massive trade secret!!
i mean, you can always try some of those fixatives for makeup that come in a form of spray and basically do what hair spray does but for skin, although you would have to test it before to make sure that it doesn't ruin the paint before it dries off. that being said, if those things can hold my makeup for like 12 hours even though it's mostly powder and glitter, they should help to fix even bodypaint
@@sillyjellyfish2421 thank you!! I've tried fixing spray and powder before and they work a bit but I've yet to find something that would seal it well enough to not get on my clothes haha
I've only ever been mildly tempted to do a cosplay, because I lack skill, time and resources, but I always love watching the craft that goes into cosplay
Same.
Same
Fr, I wanna dress as draculaura so bad but I don’t rlly got the time nor materials do to any cosplay of her
GREAT video! I've been curious about doing body paint for awhile now but was too intimidated by "what's the right paint? I'd need a full palette of paints for even one color. There must be some eldritch secret to doing all this and I don't have warlock powers." This makes it VERY approachable, and I think I might be doing one soon! Thanks so much!
It can be very scary to watch a tutorial made by a pro and be like "oh god, I need an airbrush, I need nine thousand makeup products--" I'm glad I could make a beginner resource that simplifies the process and makes it feel more approachable.
Thank you! I cosplayed Jester last con season and did *okay* based on some of your older cosplay tutorial videos, and I’ve been sort of hoping to keep snowballing into oddity from there
Thank you so much for this!! I’M SITTING HERE GREEN AS A SHREK WHILE I WRITE THIS THANKS TO YOU!
17 years of cosplay and I was always afraid to do body paint. I got the mehron paradise and it was so dang easy and I’d never felt prettier. :’) If u see a lady with a green face doing normal stuff like shopping at Publix and putting gas in the car it’s ok it’s just me because I refuse to go anywhere without a green face now.
so funny watching this for my homestuck cosplay and then getting to the "and make sure to thank a homestuck for their contributions to cosplay" section.
As someone who sucks at make up I so appreciate this episode because I needed a detailed tutorial so bad
I've been body painting for a few years now but this was a really lovely refresher, as well as a great video for any folks looking to get into it! I love the horrifying stage of "flat paint is on but contouring isn't", it can make for some really cursed photos 😂
YES i was doing a blue-grey character once and there was a point when i basically just looked exactly like the iphone version of the moon emoji lmao
This literally just saved my cosplay. The key was the BRUSH vs sponge made a HUGE different
"'Till you're blue in the face... heh!" I love that part...
You are brining back happy/ugly memories of trying to keep face makeup on in the middle of a Texas summer while chasing people through the woods. Powder and baby wipes were part of my fighting kit. Love ya, you big nerd.
(comment for the comment gods)
I Used to play a Darkelf on a hot summer Larp. about 154 of us as a small noble House. All wearing black ( of course ) And the rule setting said we get dmg by the sun and need to cover up all time. The painting on the skin was a mess, after a short while we looked like molten ice elves. And i bet, here in Germany even a hot summer day is not like a texas summer. So i am impressed.
@@Qrow-Samedi True, it gets to 40C on the regular, but then you have German winters to contend with. Metal armor becomes a refrigerator in weather like that.
LIKES FOR THE LIKE THRONE!!!
the buggar tip right at the end is what makes me fall in love with your videos
My favorite thing when I pained myself for homestuck was contouring and highlighting in the characters “blood color” it made it look super fun
This is a really cool idea! It also might hint at if they are warm-blooded or not. For exmaple, a red-scaled lizardfolk with silver-ish details has a much colder vibe than normal red.
I love putting little details into everything, especially if they have meaning, and this is an amazing way of doing it!
that's a genius idea, it makes a ton of sense for how flushing actually works. it probably looked stunning in person!
My preferred face paint method is Mehron’s Creamblend sticks. I do a base of white and then put my actual color where I would normally contour, and once it’s all blended, it looks great and like I already contoured. Cream makeup is definitely easier to blend than water based and doesn’t sweat off like water based does, but it does require extra steps for setting
I'm a big fan of Mehron paints. I used to do sfx makeup work for a few haunts in college and it was my go-to product line. My wife used their products with my help a few years back to do a kickass gender-bent Hades ala Disney's Hercules for our Disney Villains party (we're big fans of theme parties lol)
I still remember cosplaying Marceline (Adventure Time) when I was in college and oh boy was it bad.
I knew nothing about shading and even though I used Snazaroo I didn't know it needed to be set with a powder. I was rubbing grey paint on everything, but it was still one of the most fun cosplays I've since the costume itself was easy and I got to help my friend do Princess Bubblegum.
This is a great video and I can't wait to try some of the techniques!
I worked at a costume shop for a few years, and Paradise is the best stuff I ever used. Super easy.
WETTING THE BRUSH!!! I've been cosplaying Jester on and off for a couple years with water-activated paint but I never thought to just get the brush wet. Thank you for these tips they are so helpful!!!
(I'm gonna have to try seating my make up with colored power next time, that sounds fun)
As someone working on an ahsoka tano cosplay currently, i an eternally grateful for this
That wasn't an ad, that was a desperately needed PSA. Great vid! I did the "bad example" that you mentioned first for a costume and it scared me away from it.
Thank you for not overexplaining. I have ADHD and it is really hard for me to follow most videos I watch because they talk and over-explain so much I forget what their point is lol! I feel a lot more confident now in leveling up my cosplay makeup game. Thank you!
Ginny, this video has come at the absolutely best time for me. I have been so scared of body paint, but I have a cosplay that I am going to be trying it on next month…thank you so much for this.
I typically hate ads and skip over them if possible, but Ginny does them so well and makes them so interesting that I watch them.
Super cool and helpful! I love tutorial type videos even if I never do the thing. I just love learning from ppl who are good at their craft. Thanks Ginny for sharing this with us. 🥰
This is so great! I used your Jester tutorial to learn with when I first started making costumes that needed body paint (Jester, obviously 😅), and I've definitely sent it to a bunch of people who needed a starting step! I'm sure I'll be sharing this one a lot too, as I rope more friends into body paint cosplays with me! 😊
Yes the video I've been waiting for! Thanks Ginny! And as always your ads are always such a treat!
Thank you for this, Ginny! I hope to cosplay as my pink tiefling Barbara (or her triton wife, Skipper) one day and this video will be super useful for that!! Thanks a bunch! X
is Barbara a barbarian, lol?
@@natezomby oh damn I wish I had thought of that at the time 😂
@@merlyn2770 skipper is a fun ocean name btw!
Gives me, oh you thought I meant gamer girl, no sorry I'm a gay mer girl. Steals your girlfriend and swims away.
i just want to say thank you for the bit about contouring. i pretty much gave up trying to find tutorials explaining it in a way that makes sense to me, and watching and listening to the explanation finally made it click!
Laura Bailey and you as Jester was so good I constantly was double taking it was so good! I loved it! You both looked incredible!
It’s really cool that you teach people about how to get started in this art form, I’m just learning about it and it’s fascinating artistically
Haven't been a different primary color in just far too long! You ALWAYS make it seem so easy & your advice is always on point! Fun vid, thanks for sharing it!
This was so helpful! I’ve never worked with body paint before, and this tutorial helped me nail my She Hulk look - thanks!
Currently working on Shrek the Musical and so glad this video came up as a refresher! Great job and thank you for the in depth tutorial!
Just watched the clip of you and Laura and omg congrats!! That must have been a dream come true.
SO TRUE about everything just being comparisons. Love your crafty videos!!
Wow perfect timing! I'm about to be the wicked witch in my school play and this popped up in my feed right before i had the chance to search for it! I can't wait to be green, thanks so much! 💚
I love how clear and simple you make this process look - I would definitely consider it now, thanks! ^^
Sharing this with all my costume/cosplay friends! Thanks Ginny 💙 also, your adds are the only ones I don't fast forward through; theure so funny/cute! 🤣🪄🦷
Great video and so helpful! I was freaking out for my costume this year but you've given me hope. Thank you so much!
Love this video, so helpful! I've been dabbling in the sfx world for a while now, and face/body paint was just as intimidating to me as working with latex at first. I learned that there's no harm in just trying and playing around. Mehron Paradise and Chameleon are my two faves. Keep up the great work. ❤
My current dnd characters a blue-ish elf and as someone that already has his wardrobe im totally using this B) (also coincidentally, your upload schedule is the same day as my dnd sessions :D )
Same! I always play on Wednesdays 😅
tysm for making this video! ive been pretty nervous abt using face paint, since the first time it wasnt very pigmented or smooth. this was very helpful💕
the work put into this is amazing appreciation for everything you share
Just did my very first Larp and I am so excited to go to my second one more prepared after watching this video. Thank you so much.
I've recently been getting into cosplay for original characters and this video was so helpful!! Thank you!
You aways have the most unique sponsor ads i love to watch them as mutch as the video itself! ❤️🤩
That top in the character sheet fairy bit was adorable!
i bought a multi-color tag pallet early in the pandemic and got hooked on painting myself weird colors for a while there. it's so much fun.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! Fear of body painting is exactly why I’ve hesitated on cosplaying Jester. This was super helpful 💙
Wow -- my imagination just went down the route of cosplaying my own D&D character. I even had memories of the makeup unit in theater class.
Thanks so much for a great video.
I watched you're old Jester tutorial and now this one. Thank you for the tips! I'm dressing up as a pink tiefling that's a College of Glamour bard so my look is going to have more glitter and glam involved. I bought face/body paint for the first time and I'm trying it out.
You made this way less terrifying then some of the other videos I’ve seen, so thank you! 😄 I’ve been thinking of a Persephone cosplay and I think I’m ready to give it a try!
Great tutorial! 🤩 Exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you so much! I'm currently working on my first cosplay ever as my d&d tieflling character and I was so nervous about painting her mint green skin 💚
your hair color looks so interestingly multi-tonal in the clip around 1:40, it’s beautiful! thank you for the video, will definitely reference it back if i ever need :)
This was so helpful thank you! I'm working on making up a pretty complicated costume for next years Halloween (kinda a bit late to do it for this year as I'm writing this on Halloween) and I have never touched body paint and don't wear a bunch of makeup most days. I'll be saving this for my own future reference when I am ready to assemble my final costume
Looks good. Nice work Ginny!
Thank you for this! It really makes body paint more approachable
I've always wondered about this. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video, this really helped me step out of my comfort zone and now I really enjoy body paint
One tip if you are having trouble with even consistency over body parts; do a sugar exfoliation scrub the night before. It'll help with the makeup adherence and is just a nice thing to do.
Thank you so much for this video!! I’m going to my first con and you have been so helpful! Ty ty❤
THANK YOU SO MUCH I'VE BEEN SO TERRIFIED TO DO THIS!!!! This has genuinely helped me in so many ways. You're awesome!
YESSSS I'M FINALLY GONNA BE MY WATER GENASI - I'M SO EXCITED
Thank you so much for this! I’ve always wanted to try this level of cosplay, but I never could until I watched this video!
She’s so amazing 🤩🤩
I was like - wait a minute, which CR video you are in??? Then I went into the break of the last episode and I found you! I am so happy for and proud of you!
“make sure to thank a homestuck” that’s literally why im here help
ME TOO
SAME???
Oh thank god for this video, simple and straight to the point!
Thank you. I can see how many of these tips will improve my Face Paints.
Dude your work is awesome!
Thank you for this! Very helpful.
This is going to be so helpful for my Tendi cosplay at Arisia in January!
I’m starting to do a makeup test for a Dorian cosplay and this is a huge help! Thank you for sharing!
This is so helpful, Ginny!!
I learned how to do body paint (and got into critical role) with your Jester videos! I've also learned a lot through trial and error, happy to see the updated video 🥰
hope you have behind the scenes with Laura
It’s fascinating that makeup like this isn’t that much different than painting a miniature or just in general. It still follows all the stuff with shadows and highlights among other things. It seems obvious in retrospect but I’ve just never thought about doing makeup before
The video with Laura is a MOMENT.
As ever, excellent tutorial.
There's a moment when you finished the look where I swear you looked like Stephanie Beatriz/Rosa Diaz cosplaying as N'akrasha 😁
Thank you so much for this!
8:45 the Chapstick plus eyeshadow thing is something that I figured out on my own while I was trying to come up with a make up look for a sickly character that I was playing a one shot and so I used blue and brown to mimic cyanosis (when your skin turns blue because of lack of oxygen)
Awesome vid! Thanks gal!!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you~! This is so helpful and exactly what I needed! ♥♥♥
Thank you for this!!! I was directed to your channel shortly after being told to watch Critical Role by a friend, and deciding that my first proper cosplay would be Jester! I've made the skirt and top, and have plans for the corset, but it was definitely the blue that was the scariest bit! (Along with accessories, I'm a clothing not a props gals, but that's what friends are for)
My wife teaches makeup design to her middle schoolers for their plays and movies. I'm going to send her this because I think her students would really enjoy it.
Super helpful video ❤❤
Doing my first cosplay and this was so helpful thank you!
Thank you so much!!! Loved this one!!!!!
YOU THE BEST!!! SUCH A HELPFUL VID. I APPRECIATE You!!!
It's funny, I've had this video in my watch later for a while now, but I saw it after it had been up for like 2 days. It's confirmed my plans for this year lol
I've been planning to cosplay my Kaldorei character for my local ren fest this year and I'm currently gathering supplies and crafting her look. I purchased some Bob Nye paints and have experimented with them to get the right look, but still trying to figure it out. Anyway, this video has been a big help!
Thank you very much for this tutorial 🖤👽
Great tutorial. I imagine different paints react differently depending on a person's skin type; whether is oily or dry.
Thanks! I will remember it next time I paint myself for LARP! Years ago, I went green for a goblin role and on monday in university, I got strange looks and a friend asked me if green eyebrows were a new trend ... so, always check if the paint got off everywhere :D
Thank you so much, I definitely needed this lol
Thank you for this video!!! I’m trying to pull off Mystique this year
This feels so incredibly helpful. I am a bit nervous to try but also kind of excited with hopes to bring Beast Boy to life lol thanks for the vid ginny 🙏🏽💚
this is soooo helpful ty
