Witch doctor face/body painting part one

This is my second video in a small series of face and body painting techniques. The first was using a brush to paint it on, and can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwDE6-alKi8 for part one, and here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6sDwFljBJo
for part two.

I apologize that it looks kind of blotchy on camera, it looked pretty even to me in my mirror but maybe I just need to perfect it more. This is just showing the technique using a sponge to apply the body paint. I used Kryolan's Aquacolor number 064.
Part two of the witch doctor painting tutorial can be found here:

And this is the costume the body painting will be used for: http://www.diabloiiikore.com/photos/Diablo%20III%20Characters/view_321046_1_1...

[warcraftgamergirl]

@princesskeik Yes, that was me! I loved your costume, definitely one of the best Jainas I'd seen! Haha, I got that a lot, the body paint was supposed to be more of a red hue, but it still turned out well!

What was the product names for the paint and the spray? Thanks : )

[warcraftgamergirl]

@BeanieD1 Kryolan aquacolor for the paint, and the spray was Mehron's barrier spray. Mehron's Paradise makeup is really good, as well.

So question.. once you put on the body paint... how long does it stay on? And does it smear if you're next to anyone?

[warcraftgamergirl]

@slyfoot I'm not sure with this brand, but if it's like the brand I used last year, if you use a primer and seal it correctly, it can last all day. I only had problems with my hand having to be repainted halfway through the day but that's just because I was holding a staff, the rest of the body paint didn't need to be touched up at all the entire 12+ hours I was in costume.

Out of curiosity, what did you use to paint the latex ears? The same Kryolan makeup that you used for your skin?

Great tutorial so far, by the way!

[slyfoot]

@warcraftgamergirl primer? sealing? man this is why I need you to teach me haha.. I did a bit of research and heard you could use hair spray to seal in the paint.. but I don't know what they mean by sealing?
