What should I use to make my skin green (as the Wicked Witch of the West) for Halloween?
Use water-based professional face paint. I personally use Kryolan (no, not Krylon, that’s another product). Apply the makeup with a sponge (it’s easier than a brush because you’re painting a larger area of your body). I recommend a wedge sponge. Don’t use too much water. You want to strive for even coverage. Practice! Once you’ve applied the paint, daub your skin with face powder or baby powder. It will set the paint so that it won’t bleed as you dance or play. I buy most of my paint from online retailers. I’ve included a link to Clown Antics, a company I’ve used many times. I also suggest you try costume shops in your area. Many carry various lines of face paint. I advise you to stay away from Snazaroo products and Ben Nye, which I consider inferior to Kryolan. Graftobian is okay for beginners. Mehron is a good product, but I still think Kryolan is better. You don’t need to buy a big cake, stick with one or two AquaColor pallete refills.
