Robot Costume

So, i wasn't sure if this should go under product reviews or this section... but here goes..

two things:
1- I need a recommendation for a good silver bodypaint that will cover my entire body and will stay on through a night of partying. Anybody here know of any good brands?

2- Any ideas for makeup? My costume is going to be a silver lamé bodysuit or tube top and biker shorts with silver body paint- sort of like a "sexy android" kind of a feel to it, rather than a "i found an old box and some spray paint" look. My face will be silver, but from there i am sort of lost. Should I do silver eye makeup as well, or do another color? Same for the lips... painting them silver makes my teeth look yellow and nasty, so what else should i do?

for your eyes, why not do blue? it would look bitchin with silver. you could make a blue gloss, too, by mixing blue pigment with gloss. otherwise, I'd just recommend getting some bitchin whitening strips!

hm... do you think the blue would make my teeth look bad too? ugh... my coffee and tea habits are catching up to me!

blue makes teeth look whiter. ;]

I reckon blue, purple or black.
They all look rockin' with silver!

Agreed *nods* Purple lips are really hot, too.

For paint, Han/Toonie tried out some stuff called Snazaroo when she was a Smurf and it seemed to work pretty well for the price! Otherwise; god I sound like a broken record, but Kryolan is really really good. I've tried a few metallic colours of theirs in different formulas and they are great.

I think black would look uber cool, or blue with glitttterrrr
*I'm a glitter whore*

not to sound like I'm bashing anyone's ideas >.<
but you know how people like pairing purple with yellow? I'm afraid it may bring out the yellow you think you have in your teeth ;-;

yeeeeah maybe

Good point.
Black could do the same.

If you're really that concerned about the teeth thing perhaps the blue is the best option. But you know you're probably worrying unnecessarily about them!

maybe but I know how self conscious it might make her, I have the same problem

its halloween you wanna smile and laugh and stuff!! =D
I think we all agree on blue then =)

Depends how red the purple is! A bluer purple won't do it, only if it's really warm and dark, and... warm and dark is more like a burgundy. A really light colour will do the same.

I've had bright purple lips on me and I have... uh... unfortunately yellow teeth and they didn't look any worse. No better, but no worse either. Blue was the same actually, just stick to brights and you'll be fine.

But. Blue is a nicer colour with silver in general. So

Mmm, glitter.

what about a two tone
like
a black outline with a purple or blue int he middle?

Honestly blue dosen't make your teeth look yellow at all!!

I used snazaroo and although you need quite alot of it, it's cheap, it works, and it dosen't stain - i'd recommend it!

Also - for make-up how about some crazy-ass big false eyelashes? it's easy, effective, sexy and girly!

I second what hana said!

what about black and red lips? and bronze eyeshadow? with big falsies and wings?

I was thinking about tihs on the bus today to distract me from throwing up, and i think some super shiny red lips would be pretty sweet.

Kryolan has a silver eyeshadow, looks like tinfoil when you apply it wet. I think if you bought one it would probably do unless you wanted to cover your whole body.

wow! a lot of good ideas!

so i've purchased a pair of silver eyelashes, they are crazy and dramatic and awesome. i know i am going to use them, and i do like the idea of blue eyeshadow

i already own silver kryolan eyeshadow, but unfortunately its not going to be enough to cover my entire body! where did you buy the snazaroo? i am on their website but not really understanding the layout/products

hmmm... i'll have to start playing around with looks and post some pics once i do

I bought snazaroo off ebay!! =)

oooh okay! i just googled it and was like "waaaah wtf website!"

speaking of body paint, i'm loving your new pic! lol
