Casimiro Costume

Once I get an idea I have a serious problem slamming on the breaks with it. >_>

I've been looking up different kinds of body paint, not only becaseu do I find it super interesting but I have several costumes coming up that will require me to paint large portions of my skin and I don't want it to be one of those horible experiances where I am melting like i've seen some people do when they use grease paint of cheapy halloween quailty make up. Or even worse use paint that comes off. I saw someone who was a smurf last year and they paint had come off between her joints and on her hands and it looks super bad. I totally don't want that to happen to me o.o I'd be mortified.

I've decided on PAX paint. Not only have I read several good things about it, but I can also mix it myself and I am not limited by someone elses color pallet. I've ordering a couple of bottles of non-tacky Pros-aide here in a few weeks and hopefully it works out like everyone has said it will. I've also had the fun of researching several translucent powders. Which believe it or not not all of them are translucent even though they say that on the package. I have decided to go with the Sephora brand. It make be a little pricey at $20 when I could just use baby powder. But I don't particularly feel like smelling of babies for long amounts of time. Also the Sephora brand help with oily skin and sweat, thats a big plus. Cause my skin will end up getting oily by the end of the day and I'm sure I'll end up sweating as I run around like a crrrrazzzzy person. lol

I also went out and bought some new men's clothing. That sounds odd, but when you are going to be dressed as a man it makes perfect sense to by men's clothing. Which tends to be expecially hard for me since I am apperently so small by men's standards at least. The problem is though I have a super short torso, so well see how this goes. I also bought women's straight leg pants verses mens, for the simple reason that the leg on the men's was way too wide and made me look chunckier than I'm going for. But the pair I found does a pretty good job of hiding curves so I think I'll be fine.

Now all I'm missing for this costume is the contacts and the wig!!! :3 I'm super excited!!!!

I'll be posting up pictures of all of the clothing soon. i still have to finish the jacket.
