Oooo it reminds me of a rock star, or like a member of KISS!
I need to do some makeup... maybe I'll do that today!
I've always wanted to do a Tugger design to resemble Ziggy Stardust...

The design was in fact inspired by KISS.  Can't wait to see your Tugger design! It'll be awesome! What brand of makeup do you use? I have Mehron, but I really want to have the Ben Nye brand. Ben Nye is so vibrant and pretty. ^^ |

I use Ben Nye.
I USED to use Snazaroo years ago (in high school), and I had some Mehron cups I never really touched because I didn't like them, but I had to buy Ben Nye for my Makeup Design class in college.
I *LOVE* Ben Nye. It's just so smooth and easy to work with.

so Ben Nye is the best then. I got a magazine the other day with that kind of makeup in it and i was wondering if that was the best. But dang! i wish i had more money. How do u remove it after you put it on? and have you heard of the Norcostco, Catalog for the Performing Arts? and i like ur Tugger Spectra!!!!

I always just removed my makeup with makeup-removing cloths. And I ALWAYS make sure to use moisturizer on my face first. It keeps the pigment from getting into my skin (yellow and red tend to stick with skin), and keeps the makeup from getting into your pores.
I can't say I've heard of that catalog...

Never even heard of that catalog before, but it sounds pretty cool. And thanks! ^^
I hope to get some Ben Nye makeup before I see CATS. I don't like Mehron that much anymore.

Your Tugger is great, Spectra^^  I use to use simple crayons since I have no money to buy snazaroo or Ben Nye. Just tried to get some via internet and fainted at the prices!  |

Ben Nye is expensive, but it's lasted forever for me. My base, which I used for about... oh... 40 whole-face applications I think the the semester I took my class, barely looks like it's been used at all. For my class, I had to buy the student kit which was $50, but I know that I spent abut $100-$150 on extra color wheels and supplies. Now, however, I'm pretty well set. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend just getting a full cake of your base, a shade darker than your base, and white. Then getting a liner of black and of brown. For the bold colors and whatnot, I'd recommend getting either some effect color wheels (I LOVE my 'cuts and bruises' one!), or other wheels, since they all contain colors that aren't used in EVERY makeup design. Alternately, I don't have experience with the stack-ups, but they seem like they'd function in the same way. though you can get color liners of those also if you think you'll use a color a lot (e.g. if you love doing Bomba's makeup and know you need more red). |

<3 It's still not CHEAP, but it's definitely cheaper. When I started buying I thought I had to get whole cups of EVERY color... the best day of my makeup-buying life was discovering the effect wheels. XD

Mhm, I doubt that I will need to get it a douzen times of the year, so pay once and have it long. And still I haven't much understanding of the use of 'actual' make up and base after a half year of Cats makeup so I'm glad for every clue I can get^^ The only times I used base properly was when I did Victoria and my OC |

Spectra, we should do a makeup challenge. We should pick a character and then do an original design for the character. Not a contest, you know, but like, creative inspiration or something.
Or like, a kitten challenge. XD
*gets dreamy-eyed over makeup challenge ideas*
Just a thought for the future!
