Blue body paint

[Lakitu]

I have a Hallowe'en fancy dress party, I've decided to go as the Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. Ive found the outfit, but I can't find powder blue body paint.

Any ideas where I can get enough to cover my upper body and face?

This is my outfit http://www.fancydress.com/costumes/Corpse-Brid e/0~84695~0

This is the original character http://www.dvdtown.com/images/displayimage.php ?id=5772

(for those of you not aware of the character :o))

You could try a fancy dress shop or a joke shop.

By the way unless you intend to scruff the dress up a bit it doesn't look anything like the character. You would have been better off going to a charity shop and getting a second hand wedding dress and making it look like death.

But that's just me.

Have a good party

Hi Lakitu

I can recommend a face and body paint company. I have only used them as face paints, but you can use the paints for either. If you buy a compact of a single blue colour you will easily cover your upper body and face. You apply it with a slightly damp sponge (don't get it too wet or it'll be too pale and run). I use them on my children, so they are totally safe.

The company have a website - it is Snazaroo. The metallic colours are excellent for highlighting as well.

Have a brilliant time - I'm sure you'll look great!

Thank you for your responses, a chance conversation last night led to me discovering one of my mates has connection to the world of the theatre and is going to get some for me :o)

cassa, the dress the corpse bride wears is so intricate I'd never be able to replicate it without spending a fortune. The dress I have is the same shape, has the skeleton arm and I know people will know who I am, particularly with the blue wig and the make up, so I'm happy enough :o)

Further to Bloss' reply, you can buy Snazaroo Paints either on line or in store at The Range - here's a link

Thank you Juggs, I've saved the link (and Bloss') just in case my mate can't get me the exact colour of blue I need :o)

[Jugglering]

No probs Lakitu - for some strange reason those paints seem to be cheaper to buy in The Range than direct off the Snazaroo website... or am I misreading something (p&p might be involved, or some other complicated factor....lol)

[Lakitu]

Apart from the yellow, they're all the same price, were you looking at the 18ml pots in the snazzaroo site? x

[Jugglering]

I can see that they change price in The Range depending on colour, but all seem to be the same price in the Snaz site... lol

The Range - Royal Blue �2.49 for 18ml

Snazaroo - Royal Blue �3.39 for 18ml

Oh! So it does!!

It seems strange that a supplier can sell them off cheaper than the manufacturer.... :o/
