    May 23, 2012 - Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Make-Up. #1

    A group of friends and myself are going to this year's Dragon*Con as Legend of Zelda characters from the Twilight Princess game. Out of the four of us that are going, only two of use needs heavy make up. One of my friends is going as Dark Link and I am going as Ganondorf. Both characters has different coloured skin (Dark Link is black and Ganondorf is green). What makeup could I use that won't come off / won't easily come off while sweating? The convention is in Atlanta, Georgia, and apparently it's quite hot down there in the summer time and I heat up and sweat quite easily. I'm a winter person.

    It's not so much that it's only hot in Atlanta, it's humid in a way that can only be experienced, not described. I don't have any makeup advice (it's not my forte) but I'm interested in what others have to say.

    Ganondorf should be an awesome costume, too.

    get some alcohol activated make up, you will need 99% alcohol and a airbrush.


    they sell skin illustrator kit and they sell bottles of alcohol activated make up.

    this will hold up pretty good under the heat of atlanta.

    i sued it for my maul and my other costumes.

    I'm gonna second what mrbungle said. That's definitely the way to go, having tried different makeup effects at Dragon*con in the past, this is the best.

    Totally agree with the skin illustrator makeup. Its sweat proof, so that humidity will be no match for it!

    Thanks for the advice! I'll have to try it. As soon as I try it out, when I'm finished, I'll post pics.
