Ideas for Adult Face Painting - Circus/Burlesque style for Feast Festival

Hi Guys

I need some ideas and help, as I have been asked by a friend of mine to do her makeup for a festival coming up. She is working at the door and the theme of the opening night party is Circus meets Burlesque meets Gay Mardi Gras (as it's the Feast Festival)...

I need some help... any ideas?


Thanks!!!!

Masks, masks, masks.... in pearl colors, (purple, green and gold says "Mardi Gras" best).... the more bling, the better!

Sounds like a dream for me!! I LOVE mardi gras masks! This is a good resource.

If it is a gay themed event, Rainbows would be appropriate as well. Glitter bling and sparkles! if you do any air brush, lace will make delicate line work on masks. What about painted on garters and fishnets?

...and rhinestones! Save money and pre-glue them yourself... eyelash adhesive or prosaide on wax paper.
