peachy654 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hello there, i am dressing up for the saturday night as a vampire, and i was wondering if anyone had any experience with prosthetics and stuff. I have got a forehead but have no idea what to do with it, i have never used much make up before so dont really know what i am doing. Is there anyone staying in heathrow that could possibly help with this? i dont want to look a complete idiot!! Natalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am staying at the premier inn in heathrow, we could keep in touch and then meet up before the party. My husband and i are fairly new to conventions so we dont know a lot of people. It seems there are a few who meet up regularly, so it can feel a little daunting. I appreciate your help. Nice to meet you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixster Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Nice to meet you too, I'll be in the convention hotel, all you'll need to bring is your forehead and any special make up you want to wear and the glue and I'll have the rest with me. Just hope you'll like the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greasepaint, oily stuff!!!!! i've been Talking to a seller on ebay that does make up and prothetics for a living and he mentions that grease based are very good but there is one make called Pax (but pricey) that he loves, I've been searching the internet for some and will be getting it in the near furture so I can use mine if you want. It's just if you want a specific colour eye shadow and lippy that you really need to bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel much better about my costume now, im not one for dressing up usually. The last con i dressed up for was End of Days in Blackpool, and i went to the prom dressed up. Have u had any thoughts on what teeth ur getting? i have been looking at the Vampfangs website at the Scarecrow collection, just not sure yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixster Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I've go the top lucious teeth as i can only wear vaneers, - wonky teeth. lol These are the one I got: http://www.mostlydead.co.uk/Vampire-Fangs,...oduct_info.html They mould to your teeth then you put the putty on the back and let that set and there you have it a perfectly good set of teeth. The only thing i'm missing are my contacts as I'm waiting until payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing i'm missing are my contacts as I'm waiting until payday. just had a look at there website how cool is some of there stuff. not sure if to be a vampire or a victim of one, got the sunnydale tshirt which i was planning on just wearing with jeans and throw some fake blood on- simple yet could be effective and more importantly easy to pack.

peachy654 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Wow u really r organised. I looked at those teeth, but can i ask, what do u mean put the putty on the back? Do they just hang on ur teeth, or is there something that goes round the back of your teeth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it is I can put like fangs on my teeth if they go anywhere near the back of my teeth so I can only use veneers that only cover the front, the putty make a mould of you teeth so when you put the veneers on they kind of click into the shape your teeth, the putty sets hard so messy nasty stuff. Hope that helps "Wow u really r organised. " ha ha, i totally get the mick taken out of me for being organised. like i've already don't my christmas shopping, i've had my gown bought since February for Hallowhedon. lol Edited July 28, 2009 by Nixster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixster Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Ok. Just got my make-up ordered and it come with instructions. always a bonus and quite a reasonable price of $9.99 plus postage to UK. Nice. The website I listed earlier didn't have the make-up kits but I e-mailed the bloke that has it and he's doing me set just for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is reasonable, did u go for quite natural looking make up or is it a bit out there? I ordered my teeth from vamp fangs, they are in transit. I cant wait to try them out. I have got finger nails sorted, going to buy some false ones and paint them black before i put them on. Found some really cool ones, that are pre glued. and they polish really well. What kind of costume u wearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachy654 Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 wow that sounds so cool. My dress is a boned bodice in like a claret colour, and the skirt is the same colour but i have got black spider web lace over the top of it, and the same lace has been used to make my sleeves, they are going to be long and floaty.

Nice - sounds good to me, love floaty sleaves but can become a bit of an a**e after half an hour (nightmare at a buffet. lol), got a dress with themon and I end up wrapping them round my arms. lol I'm thinking a deep burgundy lippy is needed for this outfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
