Batman and running face paint issues

[Meathead316]

Hi

After wearing my batsuit for around 20 mins my black eye makeup begins to run due to me sweating, any way to prevent my face paint from doing this?
I use snazaroo black water based paint

Also my Joker friend has a similar problem, he uses same brand paint for black and white, and red lipstick, any way to make his face not smudge should batman want to put him in a headlock?!

Thanks

Well, first off, I would suggest using makeup not paint. Its designed to stay on under those conditions. Try grease paint if that is not an option. Anything but a water based paint would probably be better. Sweat, is after all, water.

8 perf is right. You want to be using actual makeup. Yes, it may feel weird applying makeup as a guy, but just remember that Christian Bale and Heath Ledger both wore it and you'll be fine!

I recommend Ben Nye. They are pretty affordable, widely known/used, and a performance industry favorite.

I use the eye black professional athletes use with an application of Ben nye setting powder. Never have I had an issue and have gone as long as 8 hours

Pick up some black eyeshadow dude, sugarpill eyeshadow will stick forever and is the darkest you can get

For batman I use makeup called scandaleyes that has worked great. It doesn't look too shiny, instead it'll be a more matted finish
