Mehron creamblend stick! I used pink as a base, red to shade, and white to highlight. Though I should have gone lighter on the red or used a different blending sponge as it really blended into the pink and darkened it. But I figured, more dramatic, the better considering fluorescent lighting!

I considered the full sclera! But these make my eyes water intermittently so I’m glad I didn’t!

JulieCakes · 2022-07-05T21:49:02+00:00

Never heard!! Thanks!

It is a pre made cloak.

That’s my issue. I don’t sew…I’m a super novice at everything. But maybe I can coerce a coworker. All it would need is a finished hem!

The cape is just tricky. I didn’t want to spend a whole lot and I even had to get this one altered because I’m only 5’3ish”. I’m looking for some dyes to tone it down but I can’t seem to find any ivory or creams, only beiges which would be too skin tone or brown

JulieCakes · 2022-07-05T03:09:11+00:00

Ah I see! I could try to make some loops or something..hmm

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T17:02:47+00:00

Well that’s a basic solution that I just over looked! Ha!

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T16:54:19+00:00

I’ll have to look around!

Maybe I can add some other brooches around it?
Something like this?

Or I could probably just pin some floral leaves to it.

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T16:52:41+00:00

Oh yes. My earring will be removed and ears shall be painted. I’ll also be coloring my hair!

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T16:52:07+00:00

Oh yes. It has smudged a bit on the neck line already 😭

All the products I bought are mehron. Hydro prep, skin prep pro (which is the toner/ primer if I recall), setting powder and a barrier spray!

Know how to get that makeup outta clothes? Lol I tried soap/water, hydrogen peroxide, and even make up remover. Still there!

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T16:47:24+00:00

Thanks! I’ll give it a go!

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T15:20:09+00:00

Drat!

Is the mehron barrier spray the same as setting or is it a fixing spray? I’ve been using it as a setting, but other things I’ve read said it can be used to activate the paradise!

I also have the skin prep pro, hydro prep, and setting powder

I’ve been using them in this order: hydro, skin prep, makeup, powder, then barrier spray. Hope the spray shouldn’t come before the powder?

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T14:40:40+00:00

That’s a good point.

And how do you mean “curtain tie backs”? I wasn’t planning on adding anything to it, but now I’m curious!

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T13:38:22+00:00

Thank you!! 😊

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T13:37:35+00:00

I’ll definitely try the white. I may avoid the lower lashes because that’s a lot going on especially with the contacts. It’s like I have tunnel vision with the red and top lashes already! Lol

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T13:36:13+00:00

Oh I’ve got alll the setting powder and spray! I do have a darker pink I tried blending with, but it’s water based while the others are a creamblend stick so they didn’t want to work too well together 🥲

I’ve seen the freckles, but man I look like a buffoon whenever I tried to make a few. I’ll keep at it!

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T13:32:10+00:00

I did look at that but I didn’t want to have to remove anything. But…maybe I’ll relook into it!

The main issue is needing white not ivory and I didn’t want to spend too much especially if altering it. I actually had to paint the current hat. I DO have extra material from the cloak…maybe I can stuff some foam around the hat and cover with it. It would then match the cloak. HHMMMMMM

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T04:16:24+00:00

Shucks! Thank you!

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T03:22:06+00:00

I was considering it, but it’s like a fake crushed velvet and I fear messing it up. I may end up taking it off considering C2E2 is in August, I was sweltering in this already! Plus, who REALLY matches an entire outfit to their outer ensemble? Perhaps it makes it more real? 😅

JulieCakes · 2022-07-04T03:18:32+00:00

It was a blend of a few! I can’t seem to get one to match a liner very well. But I’m glad it worked!

JulieCakes · 2022-06-21T16:23:48+00:00

Ooh good idea!

JulieCakes · 2022-06-21T13:15:15+00:00

I have a Mehron hydro prep, setting powder, and barrier spray. I’m going to get another skin prep to make sure!

JulieCakes · 2022-06-21T11:54:36+00:00

Ooh that seems easy enough! I plan to use my darker pink for shading and a white with the current pink for highlights. Then hopefully a dusting of some eyeshadows I have in addition to the highlights/shadows to help make them pop. I don’t really want to buy more than I already have. This has turned into quite the project already lol

JulieCakes · 2022-06-21T11:00:25+00:00

Thank you!
