what if I wanted to make myself super pale (My friends want to do a twilight cosplay sometime). I've usually got a pretty good tan, so I need a way to make myself paler thats good for large areas and that will stay for long periods of time.

Best way: alcohol based body paint applied with a spray gun (costs a bit to pull off, very nice effects, lasts a long time, doesn't rub off.)

But, for "teh cheap," get yourself some budget crap makeup for super white people, like CoverGirl brand at the drug store. Apply foundation, a liquid, followed by powder, and you can use pale blush to create any warmer pink areas to make it look like skin and not a dual layer of cheap chalk-based makeup. Works far better than cream based costume makeup.
