Tips & Tricks Ben Nye make-up

I love their make-up, but other than through school (which i can't do anymore)

i don't know who a good person (repected, trustworthy) webstie to go through to get it...plus i'm not really sure what the name of the product i need, is

i need grey airbrush make-up...i was told they make it..but i don't know what it is called, or where to order it..

anyone know?

 

I would check any make up or costume store in your area. DO not check places like MAC or anyplace that only sells their product.

 

Respected and trustworthy.

 

yeah we do not have any costume stores...other than like party city..which doesn't have any selection like that..

but i tired that website but i couldn't find the makeup that i need


but i'm going to keep looking

 

I ordered mine for Dragon*Con last year from Easleys.

Quick and not price-inflated. I've used them for four or five costume-prop orders and never had a problem.

 

My apologies for sending you on a wild goose chase. I forgot that Burman doesn't stock theatrical make-up.

 

I have placed several orders with Easley's, and I have always been pleased with them.

 

awesome i looked around ...seems like a good place to get it thanks everyone

 

This is a link for the Reel Creations... It was referred to me as a good produtct. A bit pricy though.

yah i found them last night..i might be to bite the bullet though...cause i need grey....oh well

 

When I was doing Nightcrawler a lot last summer I used to go through like gallons of Ben Nye airbrush makeup.

I always ordered from these guys:

There prices are resonable, they ship fast, and their customer service is great. They never let me down.

Reel Creations is wonderful stuff, but a bitch to get off. I beleve thats what they used on Nightcrawler and Mystique in the X-men movies. It won't run and needs minimal touch-up over a shooting day.
I have the real tattoo palet and wouldent trade it for anything.

 

i need to do asajj ventress for a few days...does anyone know about how much it would take to do a bald cap, my face neck and hands...like how many bottles..?...cause i don't want to spend 95 bucks i'm going to need it ya know

 

If you are using an airbrush, Ben-Nye Aquacolor. One bottle should do it. If you are using a brush use the Aquacolor cake. Or go with a white creme makeup. One will do you. You can set with Final seal that should keep it in place. If you use a creme on a latex bald cap, mix a little castor oil into it on a separate pallet. It will keep the creme from eating the latex.

 

I used Reel Creations makeup for Maul (both red and black), and absolutely loved it. It would not run no matter how much I was sweating (as long as I didn't drink anything alcoholic! LOL!), and resisted rubbing better than cream or grease makeups I've used. It did tend to be a bit of a mess to remove, as the easiest way to take it off was by slathering your face in cold cream, letting it sit for a couple of minutes, and then scrubbing with a washcloth you don't care about saving . HIGHLY recommended to do this in the shower... You >CAN< remove it with rubbing alcohol -**OUCH!!!** - but I really don't recommend it, speaking from experience.
