"I will corupt thy king."
"How can thee corupt one already corupted?"
"Like I corupted thy Guardian Angel."

If your old enough (18+) You can go into a porn/sex store and get flesh color latex. A large bottle is roughly $5-$10 depending on brand. Smaller bottles range from $2.89-$5 depending on brand

"The Angel that rules the Heavenly beings?"
"Yes, he who rules them, I who defeted him."
"That...is imposible!"

Or, if not old enough to go into the porn/sew store (or if there isn't one clase or something) you can try this website. It has good quality, fairly cheap latex. (site may be NSFW at parts)

Yes, I also am in the market for some body paint. Blue xD NO idea where to go or how in god's name to do it xD

You should cheek out a party store or one for costumes. They should have what you're looking for if not try the net. There all types of online stores now. You can buy almost anything online for a price. Which is cool and creepy at the same time sweatdrop

I'm working on a costume that has extensive tattoos in a dark blue color. Unfortunately, the costume is pure white and I'm really worried about ruboff. I've heard good things about alcohol activated makeup, would that happen to be anyone's expertise? I'm not sure whether I'll have trouble with it rubbing/sweating off and, if not, where I can buy just one color for a reasonable price.

Thanks!

I don't really use makeup but I was wondering if I cosplay as Kagome from Inuyasha would I really need it? xD

btw i can understand if I need cover up. lol  

[PandaTeddy]

Okay, I almost never wear makeup except mascara and lipstick on special occasions.

What makeup can I use to get rid of dark circles below the eyes and make my skin look smoother?

I'm not allergic to latex, but if I don't wanna use liquid latex for Sousuke's scar, could I just use make up?

I sure you could use make-up I'm just unsure of how to go about that. I've heard you can use glue but I don't know anything about that either.
However I now you can use wax http://sweetgreychaos.deviantart.com/art/Wax-Cut-Tutorial-47671063
just use a similar method like that but with out the blood.
That is what I'm going to try to do with one of my cosplays.

OKAY! So, I'm planning to do the cheshire cat for Halloween and whatnot, and I need to find some sort of purple and pink colored face paint or whatever, that could last all day and not come off when sweating or be smeared to badly. I've been searching forever and I found some things but I'm not entirely sure if it will work, so any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also I'm trying to figure out the best possible way to draw on a huge smile and have it look somewhat decent.
Could anyone give me an idea of what to use for an outline.  

[AshleyCarnival]

I need some help.
Has anyone seen Axis Powers Hetalia? Well If you have, I need some help on how to make my eye brows thicker and to look more like his.

Also, I need some help with the stiches on steins face. What should I use to make them?

@Komuuuui
I don't have any experience with make up...look up possibly like Avatar costumes...or any costumes you can think of that have full body paint. You might find tutorials there. Also check cosplay dot com.

@Tama-chan
Well you can always use eyeshadow to make you eyebrows thicker. OR if your looking to have really big fakey eyebrows use fake fur cut outs for look for fake hair pieces or fake eyebrows ( I think they exist).

I hope that helps.

I'm not an expert but i now know that plain face paint does not stay without powder or setting spray. The makeup i use is Ben Nye Theatrical Makeup. I find it works the best out of any other theatrical or costume makeup I have tried. I attempted a Zuko scar once and it failed so I'm not an expert on scars and such but I consider myself pretty good at fairy makeup or tattoos like Odion or Marik but it takes forever.  

[Glacirus]

Any advice for doing a good full-body coloring? >> something that'll last through sweat and won't rub off on items/money/clothes/people. And something that comes in a dark grey and then in black.

For any that are curious, this is going towards me being a Noah from D. Gray Man. Specifically Tyki.

Glacirus-

Look into alcohol based liquid paint. It lasts so long, you can sleep and shower with it on with only touchups the next day! A lot of Twi'lek cosplayers use it. :]
