All about the Theatrical Make-up! Issue 1

We are pleased to say that we at Masquerade, Times Square's Halloween Adventure store, are all about the theatrical make-up lately!

Over the past week, we've gotten in several large shipments full of theatrical make-up supplies, make-up special effects, latex ears and noses, scar kits, gore kits, bald caps in various colors, fangs, cone head bald caps, roll-on glitter, horns, press-on nails, all sorts of fake eye lashes, ClearNeon blacklight spray-on body paint, and more.


At this point, I will take a moment to talk about some of the more unique make-up effects we have here in stock at Masquerade NYC on 43rd street. First installment is......


Frozen Stiffs - Ice Effects Makeup
by Rubie's

Rubie's has put out a kit for the "frozen vampire." A novel idea, and one that blends an old favorite - the vampire look - with a nice new edge. The kit includes white, black, and blue base make up, as well as a pair of silver metallic fangs, Ice Gel (blue sparkle gel), Ice Crystals and Ice Powder (used to create "Frozen effects"), a make-up sponge, sponge applicator, and make-up brush.

The Ice Crystals look like little broken shards of ice, and the Ice Powder gives more of a frosty effect. Either of these can be used on your body or face, or in your hair. Hair gel would be a perfect compliment here to create a "frozen on end" effect. The Ice Gel is used to get the Ice Crystals and Ice Powder to stick.

The fangs are custom-fitted sorts. The kit includes directions on how to custom fit them yourself.

All make-up in this kit is completely water washable. The Ice Gel effects can be peeled off. Of course, only do this when you are ready to return to the mundane world!
