MNSSHP makeup?

[Yuri]

We are attending MNSSHP 09/16. Kid is going as Anakin Skywalker. Do you know if adults can use makeup? I was planing to go as Jack Skeleton

This is our first MNSSHP and we are so exited

Absolutely!

Definitely can. I'm on the hunt for some professional makeup for my evil queen costume in case I decide to go to a 2nd MNSSHP the week I'm there.

I figure professional makeup will last longer and won't melt in the florida heat - I hope.

We use professional makeup for dance (and theatre). We always buy Ben Nye, you can probably get it online. If you have a nice dance shop or a costume store locally you will be able to find it there (the stuff they sell at the Halloween stores is usually crap and wont last in the heat/sweat).

I'm going as the Wicked Witchh of the West on halloween night so I had to track down theatre quality make up.

I'm using Paradise AQ make up. Also make sure to get a sealer thats what keeps it on so it wont sweat off.

But you can't take it off with water then I was able to use bath and body works hand soap to get it off.

I also highly recommend Ben Nye face paint. We used it last year. It rained on us and we had minimal paint come off.

I teach theatre--- I can vouch for both Ben Nye and mehron makeup--- but so you're aware-- if you're buying their products, they MUST be set with translucent powder- they are oil-based makeups and will ruin what they come into contact with otherwise. You will also need makeup remover to get them off (neutrogena makeup removing cleansing cloths are a good start but sometimes I need something oil-based as well, or a non oil-based eye makeup remover). Because it's for theatrical and film use it doesn't sweat off, but extra care is needed to set and remove it. Good luck!!!

I was given a spray by the theatre place i bought it from, is the power better to use? It didn't seem to smudge when i touched things after using the spray but i only tested wearing the makeup about 30 mins and i'll have it on for 9 hours that night.
