Bout Makeup Tips
Speaking of bout makeup (see previous post) - here are a few tips to those of you new to covering yourself with theatrical makeup for the sake of extra bout day awesome.
You do absolutely want to use professional grade theatrical makeup if at all possible for this purpose - it’s worth the investment, because theatrical makeup is made to look fabulous from afar while being far less prone to smearing/running when you sweat. Good brands are generally more gentle on your skin, too.
Ben Nye and Mehron are both good brands that won’t break your bank, and most stores that sell theater makeup will carry them. They also sell solid starter kits - basic supplies for everything from “street” makeup to specific character palettes.
Whatever you decide to do, be sure to have a couple of good brushes (small to large) and sponges for application, and a white/clear setting powder or spray. That last part is essential for helping make sure your makeup stays in place while you skate. Setting powder should be applies gently with dabbing, not spreading, motion. Then blend it in with a soft brush. Or use the spray and just hold your breath.
Practice your look at home a few times before doing it for bout day. Practice makes perfect, and all that. I highly recommend using coconut oil for makeup remover. It’s friggen magical, especially if you have super dry skin like I do.
If you’re looking for ideas, absolutely seek inspiration in what you see other skaters doing (Demanda Riot, Scald Eagle, and my own teammate Allie Gator are all great resources for this - and they’ve traditionally held a face painting workshop every year at RollerCon, if you can go).
Me? I ended up copping a look from my current favorite show, “The 100,” that’s both bad ass and relatively simple to achieve. I think it turned out pretty OK, anyway. The important thing is to do what makes you feel rad*.
*though please do be mindful not to co-opt a traditional face/war paint style that’s specific to a culture/tribe to which you do not belong. I took mine from pop culture specifically to avoid this as best I can. For instance, I have a teammate who is Native American and does wear specific war paint from her tribe’s own traditions, and it looks super awesome. But I wouldn’t do the same, because it’s not mine to wear.
