Help! Princess B. face paint help

This thread is archived.

  • Hey everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read. I will be cosplaying Princess Bubblegum and I don't know which brand to get.. I was thinking about Mehron Paradise series but I don't know whether I should get the water activated kind or the already moist one.. And also, if there are any other brands I should get instead that are better? I do not have a budget, so it can cost as much only if it's actually worth the price. I really like their Light pink and dark pink for contouring. I'm going to cosplay her at ALA, so i'm in a hurry. Thanks again!

  • this con might have passed already, but I'll answer anyway! I strongly recommend getting the water activated kind of makeup. It stays longer without creasing like the cream kinds tend to do, once its dry it wont move around or stick to itself as much either. I use the Ben Nye cake makeup whenever I can, but that brand is just my personal preference. It has solid coverage and is easier to clean off at the end of the day. the downside to cake makeup- its tricky to blend well, and if you step out in the pouring rain it'll bleed. But, its excellent to put other kinds of powders and pencils on top of!
