Thread: weird makeup question: stencils?

I want to use some stencils (which are really designed for decorating leather goods, but no matter) to put a few designs on my face for an upcoming event.

Problem is, I'm not sure what kind of makeup to use. I want a metallic gold/brass color, and considered Eye Kandy, but it seems like EK is not the right thing to pick for this situation. Anybody have a theatrical makeup suggestion?

Thanks!

not theatrical per se, but the Eyecons Powder Bindis might be for you. (It's called bindis, but it's realy just a powder that you mix with a liquid and use any way you like.)

Cool stuff!

I would think something that goes on kind of creamy would work best with a stencil.

I'd use metallic body make up, something like this

I've used eye kandy and various other powders with stencils just fine- just mix with your favorite liquid/gel fixative. My favorite is actually hair gel- great staying power and it doesn't flake off. Sometimes I use my moisturizer and set it with a setting powder.

Cool trick! Going to play with that one!
