ProAiir Face and Body Painting Makeup - 2oz (60ml) Bubble Gum

My boyfriend and I bought this in the shade Lipstick Red to use to cosplay Millie and Moxxie from Helluva Boss at a con. Previously, we had only ever used Snazzaroo (a water based face paint), but had issues with it coming off with sweat, so we decided to give this a shot. It worked great! The first picture is before the con, and the second is after. We had it on for about 9 hours.- Application: It took us 2-3 coats to get it to look nice and not splotchy, but a little goes a long way with this stuff so it was no problem. We applied it using a foundation brush for the first layer and then a beauty blender for anything past that. Afterwards, we set it with baby powder and it stayed pretty well! I had it on shoulders up (my arms are not painted, those are gloves) and my boyfriend only had it on his face and half of his neck. The only drawback to the application was the smell, but this is an alcohol based paint so it makes sense it would be a sharp scent lol. Just hold your breath when applying it near your nose and close your eyes when applying near there, as it does sting a little. After it dries (which happens really fast), the scent goes away. Also if you have acne, psoriasis, eczema, or anything like that this will burn a little on application because of the alcohol, but that too goes away after it dries.- Durability: As previously stated, we had this stuff on for about 9 hours at a busy con. For reference, my costume was pretty light and I don't sweat much normally, but my boyfriend was in a heavy coat with long sleeves underneath, plus he does sweat a lot normally. As you can see in the second photo, however, it did not come off except in areas where costume pieces were rubbing against it, such as my choker and his wig. This was a huge plus for us! It also did not crease or crack weirdly in smile lines, which was also very nice.- Comfort: There were times I forgot I was wearing it! It's not itchy, heavy, or tight at all. Once dried it has no scent either.- Clean up: Micellar water on a paper towel or a cotton pad worked perfectly to get it off! Makeup wipes work too, but it takes longer and more scrubbing. We just used Micellar water to get the brunt of it off and then hopped in the shower to get rid of the rest with soap and water.- Amount used: We got the 2 oz bottle. Using this bottle we have cosplayed Millie and Moxxie twice, and I cosplayed Millie once on my own. So in total it has covered my face, neck, and shoulders 3 times and my boyfriends face and neck twice, each time being 2-3 coats. I have about a third of the bottle left, so honestly not bad!- Photos: Make sure you set it with something (as mentioned before, we used baby powder)! The first time I used it I forgot, and in all my photos I was very shiny on my forehead, nose, cheekbones, and chin, with the shine reading orange/yellow. Not a good look. As you can see in the attached photos though, if it has been set with something that shine is greatly reduced, and this color definitely reads as red!TDLR:-Pros: Easy to apply, comfortable to wear, lasts a long time, easy to get off afterwards, a little goes a long way, does not crease or sweat off easily-Cons: Alcohol based so it has a sharp smell when wet and may burn at first when applied over acne, psoriasis, or eczema, may have bad orange/yellow shine if not set well

New favorite body paint to use!!It stayed on for several hours at a local tattoo convention that I was attending.

Works well as base or highlights

I did mother spider demon from demon slayer one day at a con. I wanted a paint that wasn’t water based that would stay all day in the Florida summer heat. This did its job, it stayed on all day without issueBUT!! USE IT WITH AN AIRBRUSH! I know it says it can be used with a sponge, but it ruins your sponges, breaks them down etc. and if you don’t get the opacity you want in one layer or even application in one layer. If you go over it again, it will start to crack. It’s not to obvious in photos or videos, but if you’re up close and in person at a con all day, you want it to look as good as possible and that didn’t happen with this. Overall it was a great paint. Just use it with what it’s intended to be used with.

I’ve been using mehron for years and doing SFX for a very long time and decided to try this out due to how many people swear by it. Many said you don’t need an airbrush, but this dries so stupidly fast I strongly suggest using one. I can’t get it to not look streaky at all with sponge or brush application besides on my hands. It does NOT apply to a bald cap with a sponge or a brush. I can’t speak for an airbrush but I had a latex bald cap on and no matter what I did it wouldn’t apply.This stains the nail area, I tried using this for nebula and realized I need a lot more practice or just buy an airbrush machine for best use because honestly I was disappointed with how it applied to my face due to how fast it dries it’s impossible to blend or build evenlyMy eyes teared up during application and it ran and bled which was super surprising because it says waterproof and others said sweat and tear proof but I’m not sure what was wrong with mine.Like I said, maybe I need more practice but it was not what I expected. At the moment I’m just going to stick with mehron but I’ll keep practicing with this because for almost $30 I’m determined to get it right.In the photo included you can see my hand was blue for nebula which is this paint alone! My head I ended up going over with mehron sky blue because I couldn’t blend this color but it’s also good to know sky blue is very similar to this color too!I also purchased the purple and black. Black was perfect beyond belief for my eyebrows and my detail lines exactly what I needed it to, didn’t budge.The purple however was the worst of the bunch, it has a big pink undertone and requires many layers but as stated above I can’t work with this very well currently making purple impossible for me to use. I used mehron insteadOverall: if you have the time to experiment, money to risk, tools to perfect yes I suggest this. But if you don’t, keep looking
