Shironuri thread

[Anonymous No.9168220]

Well it's September now. Which means it's almost Halloween. Which means it's time for shironuri threads!
How many other white-faced gulls are out there?
Post the good, the bad, and the ugly
I'll see if I can dig up the sticky we wrote for it last year

When do you fellow whitefaces find the occasion to shironuri? I've no circle of friends who're into J-fash to begin with so even if it's just for a "let's go out for a cup of coffee" I'd feel horrendously out of place...

[Anonymous No.9169132]

>>9169085
It depends on what color scheme your going with and what kind of look you want to achieve. I like to contour with darks but I go with gothic/dark shironuri.

I think as long as you do something bold with the eye and lip a light contour is all you need.

>skin colour
I don't even paint all the way down my neck half the time, lel.

I guess it's because I cosplay bodypaint and when I do shironuri I'm not going to pretend I can convince anyone that's my actual skin. It's literally called whiteface, as in acknowledging it's a style of make up. There's really no rules aside from that, and as long as not painting arms etc. is a conscious choice I really don't mind it.

Real hair doesn't bother me as long as it's thought through and intended as part of the look.

I want to see more simplistic coords, though! I've seen some seifuku without all that much in way of accessories and I really like it. The "headdress and fifteen accessories is obligatory" thing is kinda dull to me.

When do you gulls wear Shironuri? When did you wear it last?

Hey anon, I live in Savannah, GA and I did it last year for Halloween, and I did the wig and gloves and everything. and loved it so much that I'm doing it again this year. It was sweaty but definitely worth it. Going out at night definitely helps too, as after the sun sets here it's not so bad. I just carried a large bag and kept my makeup touch up kit and deodorant in it

Does anyone know how Minori dyes her false eyelashes? In the video tutorial she did with Tokyo Fashion she mentioned the eyelashes she was using were originally white but she dyed them green. I'd love to do that for a custom color, and I was thinking synthetic fabric dye, but I'm worried about the heat melting the glue and causing the lashes to fall apart or melting the fibers together

Eyeshadow. Setting powder isn't really a problem since it's white anyway.

[Anonymous No.9187916]

>>9186396
Loose white powder and big fluffy brush... Start by just tapping it onto my skin, then swirl the brush around to buff it in and brush excess powder off. Can cause some creasing if you don't brush off enough, but I find that's a problem with most cream/grease based paint regardless.

[Anonymous No.9188170]

>>9186511
Both. Also, makeup over latex prosthetics works fine. I've painted skin tone elf ears with makeup for dark elf costumes several times and never had a problem.

This might sound weird, but I have very oily skin and I use baby powder instead of cosmetic powder. It keeps my shironuri makeup dryer for much longer.

On the topic of eyelashes, how do you all choose them for your coords? I like minori's way of color coordinating it with her wig or clothes.
What I usually do is order a bunch of cheap lashes from taobao/Ali/whatever and splice them together until I get some I like
Also looking for opinions on the strongest lash glue... I've been using Revlon for a while but am wondering if there's anything stronger since my top lashes are usually very heavy

[Anonymous No.9189169]

I have a few different pressed shadows, mainly I use a coastal scents original 88 which I got for cosplay. It's nice as it has all the shades I need, and even if the pigment payoff isn't amazing it's buildable enough that it's not a problem.

Though I've fallout with all my shadows.

Okay maybe I'm just an idiot, but I'm having a lot of trouble applying eyeshadow and other makeup over the shironuri base. Like it just keeps sticking to the base and making it hard to apply evenly.

Thank you larp thread. A guide on clown makeup, can easily be adapted for shironuri

[Anonymous No.9192892]

Do most people really use greasepaint? I always assumed they used makeup similar to geisha, but I wasn't sure. I use Kryolan makeup, instead of greasepaint because it's hard to apply and take off. I use a brush or sponge to apply to a clean face that's been moisturized. Make sure your sponge/brush isn't too wet. Then I use a sponge to stipple the makeup on to a smooth consistency. I use a translucent powder or white powder to make it look super smooth. It's super humid where I live so I only wear it late at night and use oil blotting sheets to help my skin out.

If you're practicing face painting would it be better to start with something cheap and then using the good stuff when going out, or is it better to just stick with the good product for the final costume?

I'm just curious since it's close to Halloween so spirit and other stores have been stocking creams and greasepaint.

[Anonymous No.9199701]

>>9199450
I recommend working with the good stuff. If you start with cheap makeup you'll get frustrated that it's too hard to apply and blend. It will also stain your skin or be difficult to remove. If you start with high quality materials it will be easier for you to practice and improve. Your skin will also thank you.

Good luck!

How do you all keep from overheating in shironuri? Where I live it's usually warm, humid, or even hot on Halloween. Last year I stuck to a light cotton dress without a petticoat (it wasn't lolita) and minimal stuff on top of my wig.
This year I might of fucked myself over by wearing a heavier fabric and more layers so I was thinking:
>parasol
>hand fan

any time makeup is caked on to full coverage itll look crusty. it all depends on lighting, filters, and shoop to make it look good.

So how do you keep it from looking too cakey?

I use two fingers to drag a thin layer of white onto my skin, let it sit for a bit and then use a sponge to dab on a second layer. But you will still experience some creasing/thickness.

Does it make sense to use primer under grease paint or no?

[Anonymous No.9205622]

Sure. I use setting spray to prime, keeps things from getting too oily, but I've been looking into getting a proper primer.

How exactly does setting spray work as a primer? Also which one are you using? I need one for shironuri

Ben Nye's, got it with my paint as part of a set. I think it's technically a barrier spray and not a sealing spray? IME it makes my skin 1) less absorbent 2) slightly smoother and 3) better at staying consistent in oil throughout the day.

I use it. I use Nyx's pore filler on most of my face, but their shine killer on my forehead. It helps absorb some of the oil before it can mess up my makeup and also makes it look smoother than if I applied it without primer.

What's the difference between a barrier spray and a setting spray?

[Anonymous No.9206688]

>>9206643
No idea, to be honest. It's made for industry people and theatre folks and not your standard consumer?

[Anonymous No.9206711]

>>9206688
I feel like shironuri tends to use a lot of theatrical grade products though. Maybe I should find a MUA and ask them

Doesn't a barrier spray go on your skin before make-up (to keep the grease-paints and shit from getting into your pores and make it easier to remove)? And a setting spray goes on at the end of your make-up, or between layers, to prevent smudging and keep it in place?

Yeah some people do recommend it.

I found out that the pharmacy I go to sells the monistat anti-chafing powder gel so I bought a tube to use under my paint while practicing putting it on. The ingredients are nearly identical to makeup primer and the cost is less in comparison.

I really like the style of the guy on the far right, but can anyone tell if they're wearing lipstick? It kind of looks like it's only on their upper lip if there is any.

if you don't press your lips together or use one of those transfer proof liquid lipsticks that are popular now, you could try a different color on the top and bottom lip
