Hey, threadbangers, I'm a make-up artist. It's how I do. And whilst I am also a DIYer, I do NOT recommend this tutorial. But why, you ask? FOOD COLOURING IS NOT FOR YOUR SKIN. Just because you eat it doesn't mean it can go on your skin, just like just because it goes on your skin doesn't mean you can eat it. Skincare products and food grade products are different and for a good reason. Sure, it's not going to give you an extra boob or make you go blind, but cosmetic colours are not the same ingredients as food-grade colours. Use mineral make-up. NOT FOOD COLOURING! Especially green- too much in food can cause major intestinal issues, imagine what it'll do my soaking through your pores! Love, Kate la fae violette

Im trying to be part goat and have no idea how to go about that ive seen it in salem mass but i didnt have the cash and now i cant find it anywhere i know how to make everything but how to make my feet look like a goats feet

Another good tip, if you do this don't use actual food coloring you'd get from the baking aisle, it stains the skin!

As a theatrical makeup artist, I must say that I disagree with the DIY for once... Why? Because I'm going as a psychiatric ward zombie for halloween, for which I need to be able to replicate effects that would be impossible without the proper theatrical make-up. I would never be able to get the proper spread or pigment from any other kind of makeup. Some eco-replacements come close, but that cold-cream makeup would be an utter disaster... As to ink_bottle: powdering is more than a helpful tip. Since most makeups (whether you like it or not) are oil based, they don't dry normally. The powder absorbs all the extra oil "setting" the makeup so it won't sweat off as easily. Powder shoulder be applied liberally with a velour puff (or using the sock method you described), allowed to absorb the oil, then the excess should be brushed off with a powder brush. I fear this wouldn't help the cold cream, as it would clump too easily... A good tip for getting makeup off/cleaning out makeup brushes is to use vegetable oil. Since the makeup is oil based, it will glide right off and vegetable is a lot easier to get off your skin than pesky makeup, and it won't clump up brushes if you don't get it all out...

Hey Corrine, Thanks for the plug. I'm so glad the recipe worked out! Liz

too bad i have no recipes but this was an awesome video!

helpful tip: if you don't like the shinyness off the cream based make-up (organic or not) try dabbing on a very thin coat of talcum powder or cornstarch. I've read that you can pour some in a nylon or sock so you don't end up with clumps as you pat it on. Great turorial Corrine!

Corinne, you really are so awesome.

Great!

Corinne, your so awesome!!!
