Re: My Mystique
I wasn't reallly expecting a colored bodysuit to work so well. It really plays! I've wanted to do Mystique prosthetics for someone for a long time and this is just pushing it that much further. Really wanted to do a comic style like the costume your putting together but with a makeup that's a little bit of a cross between comic and movie on the exposed sections. Play with the skin texture a little bit. Yellow contacts, etc. You're bringing this idea back now...

Re: My Mystique
If you can find a place that sells yellow contacts for cheap, I'll do it. Otherwise, I'm gonna have to get away with normal eyes.
I am an unemployed college kid, after all. XD

Re: My Mystique
I've found some relatively inexpensive contacts in the past but I'd have to look around. I just wish I had a model for this character out here...

Re: My Mystique
Here is where I get my funky Halloween/coloured contacts. Great prices, relatively fast shipping.
Of course, it's always recommended that you ONLY get contacts through a doctor prescription even if they're non prescription contacts. What can I say? I'm a daredevil. Probably not the smartest idea in regards to eyeballs since they're the only ones you have... but my bf ordered his Mad Hatter contacts from there and I got two pairs ( UV blue and black ) and we were both totally satisfied with them for the price. They're soft lenses. He whined a bit since he's not really used to contacts, and I noticed they moved around a bit in my eyes since the contacts are only one size and slightly larger than my regular ones... but for the price and a couple hour wear to give a costume that extra oomph, they're well worth the $10-$30. Tons of cosplayers would vouch for non prescription coloured ones from sites like this as well but just keep in mind it's always a risk and that you should always look into it beforehand to make a well informed and comfortable decision that you're confident with.

Re: My Mystique
This is looking awesome! I'm hoping to finish up Gambit for my boyfriend and Rogue for myself, before Dragon*con this year!
@aelynn: Do those contacts really have only a 90 life span?? Or is the flexible?

Re: My Mystique
Usually most cheaper lenses come with a 30 or 90 day limitation. But this would be wearing everyday. Ive got lenses that are that limitation but as long as you refresh the solution the lenses are kept in every month, they keep for much much longer. A good guide is - once the lenses start to feel soft, then its time to bin them.
Just use good solution, good sealing cases and keep the lenses clean and moist and they will last around a year.
Also dont take them out of their blister case/sealed bottles until the day before you plan to use them. This will give them a longer life once your start wearing them.

Re: My Mystique
I tried it on with the nude bodysuit I'm planning on wearing, and it looks a million times better. I'll take pictures when I get more work done on the dress.

Re: My Mystique
The stockings look amazing, how do the stockings colour match to the makeup your going to use? I'd love to see a comparison of that.

Re: My Mystique
Sometime this week, I'll do a comparison shot. I may need to double up on the tights, just to get an even blue look. That's barely another $10, though.
