Tanning makeup

Darrell Green

Can you please point me to a section on broad coverage skin tanning. I have several cosplays this year with different skin tones, full body and need some equipment, process, tips/tricks, and supplies advice. Quick or detailed works but hoping for full coverage advice or at least large coverage, head and arms, etc.. I have been spending my time in pathways this year but need a focused source of specifics for some upcoming completion photo shoots.

Hi Darrel,

I would recommend using an airbrush for spraying on different skin tones if you need to cover a larger area.  It also allows you to softly build up coverage to slowly build up to the shade you need, check it under different lighting, and repeat as needed.

Our body painting lessons may help there.
