  • @WitteArtistry
    @WitteArtistry 7 років тому +13

    Wow! You did a fantastic job matching his skin tone! It really comes down to the final step before the illusion is convincing.
    Also, I was wondering, what exactly is PAX paint? I thought it was partially acrylic based since it can be applied to badcaps? So is there any harm to using it on the skin?
    I think this is your most helpful matching skin tones video so far! I'm totally going to try this at home!
    Love the extra touch with the freckles!
    That's a cool tattoo by the way!

    • @Freakmo
      @Freakmo  7 років тому +6

      Thanks Witte! Yeah it's a Dick Smith recipe that uses Prosaide as a base, with acrylic paints - usually Liquidtex as they don't use any dangerous pigments but hues instead, and a matte medium. Whenever I've made my own it's come out patchy and not had much coverage, flaked off the skin, and you have to put research into the acrylic paints you're using to make sure they're skin safe, 'non toxic' is not enough.
      So I much prefer using pre made pax's, the MelPax is really nice cause it's quite creamy and has great coverage and didn't flake off like my home made one did. Also you know it's safe for skin, don't have to do a lot of research into paint ingredients :)

    • @WitteArtistry
      @WitteArtistry 7 років тому +2

      Huh! I had no idea that there were skin safe acrylic paints! I agree. Totally not worth the risk. It's much easier to get pre made. Thanks for the info!! :D

  • @Lizkretschmer
    @Lizkretschmer 5 років тому +1

    Hey! So I bought the melPax paints. they cover my tattoo AMAZINGLY, but I have one on the crook of my elbow, when I bend my arm, the paint looks all scaly and wrinkled up. Is there any way to avoid this? I literally only applied the paint, but maybe I used too many layers, and didnt' use the mattifying cream. Would this help? Or maybe applying it with an airbrush? I need it to look realistic!

    I have a sleeve tattoo but I would like to cover it for 18th century reenacting events. How does this fare during hot, sweaty situations? Since my sleeve goes all the way up my arm I’d be worried something like this would transfer to the cuffs (usually just past elbow length).

  • @shelbytheisner1040
    @shelbytheisner1040 10 місяців тому

    I have issues with my brush taking off what I already applied. Do you have any tips for preventing this? I do let the first layer dry before I add more layers but still have problems with it dragging the color.

      @abcdefghijkayz 7 років тому +7

      Thisnamestillsucks you look for a different tutorial on UA-cam lol. This is an sfx makeup channel so obviously this was not meant for everyday use by normal people. She is just showing how it is professionally done for film, television, etc. No need to be snippy.

    • @DeathBatBabe97
      @DeathBatBabe97 7 років тому +1

      Kayla Williams I wasn't being "snippy". If she knows how to cover up a tattoo professionally, I'm pretty sure she has a basic idea of how to do it with regular makeup which would be useful to people who don't have a lot of money for products like she's using. I believe you're the one who's being "snippy".

    • @MrsLilithDarkmoon
      @MrsLilithDarkmoon 7 років тому +10

      She did show you how to do it in very basic terms though.The general principle is the same color correct with something with an orange undertone if working with black/blue ink,and cover it in a skin tone shade that matches you. You can use whatever you want(liquid/cream/powder foundation or concealer, liquid/cream color corrector,eye shadows,liquid lipsticks). Not that hard to figure out substitutes by yourself.
      This is an sfx channel, of course she is going to show you a more professional way of doing it. That's the whole point.

    • @DeathBatBabe97

    • @Freakmo

      At the end 4:38 there's Kryolan Dermacolor used at the bottom which is a concealer regularly used for tattoo coverup, but it's still kinda expensive, you can get a mini palette of 16 colours for $29 www.frendsbeauty.com/dermacolor-camouflage-mini-palette-d1.html. They're quite pigmented so you can cover it up in a few layers and set with powder and setting spray, but they can transfer a little and don't hold up as well or as long as the pax or alcohol paints :)
      I'm not sure about which concealers are heavily pigmented for this at a drugstore price, I think there's quite a few other tutes on youtube that might be helpful. I have the dermacolor 16 colour palette in my regular beauty kit as my main concealer, it works really well on most skin types and covers a lot, so I've not investigated many other options after finding that.

    I don't know if you are still reading these but here goes. I found one of your videos on another chanal with no credit to you. I did not report this video because I was unsure if you had given permission to them to use your video or not. The video I'm referring to is a how to use liquid latex tutorial you uploaded about a year ago. the other chanal seems to have uploaded your video shortly after you did. the chanal I am referring to is called Mould Crafts and the video in question is called "How to use Liquid Latex to make Halloween Scars" and is an exact copy of your " How to Use Liquid Latex" vid. I hope you see this and that I am mistaken in believing this to be blatant plagiarism.

      You know what I've actually never tried! If they're not too raised or textured I'd imagine so, otherwise the texture might come through.

    • @314oclock7
      @314oclock7 7 років тому +2

      LeCarey Mitchell I know I'm not Kiana but the Pax Paint is made up of Pros-Aide and Acyclic Paint which is quite quite affordable and easily applied as shown. The veining and undertone colours are optional so just the basic cover up should be quite easy :) sorry if this isn't helpful
