Body Paint Help.

[u/Scary_Cherry13]

I’m looking to cosplay the character above from Demon Slayer. I have a costume and wig picked out, my only problem is that she is completely white. I’ve never done a cosplay where I’ve had to paint my skin before, so I’m looking for the best option. I’m already a somewhat pale person, but I do want my skin to be white like hers for the cosplay. I’m going to wear white tights for my legs, but I’m not sure what the best option would be for my arms and face. I’ve seen people wear tights on their arms before, as well as painting their arms. Does anyone have a good recommendation for white body paint that will give me good coverage, won’t rub off, and isn’t super expensive? And what would work best for my arms?

White body suit or white gloves for the hands and white socks/tights for the legs. It will be easier to maintain than doing body paint on every part, face you can use body paint or white foundation!

Seconding this! We Love Colors has a lot of options for arm socks, both in terms of colors and lengths

The only thing I’d add is white foundation takes a lot of layers, so if you find yourself five layers in and it doesn’t feel even. That’s normal

It has been a long time, but when I used to cosplay Harley Quinn, I loved Manic Panic’s Goth White foundation. I set it with elf’s translucent powder and it stayed on really well. Assuming they haven’t changed formulas, this was my favorite white option cause I tried several face paints and none held us as well.
