I don't recommend this; it's too expensive. I weathered this RBOX entirely with CoverGirl makeup. I used a foundation; some eye shadow and mascara. I'll bet you guys never thought about that! giggles..What do you think ? :tb-cute:
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! You just made my day!!!!!!! Oh, and it looks great too!!!!!!! :we-laugh: :we-laugh: :we-laugh: :we-laugh:
I have tried this. It's a good idea and it does look nice as the browns and natural colors available fit very nicely with weathering. I don't think it is any more permanent than chalk and I prefer to either use paints or spray with a sealer. Some of the pigmented weathering chalks work well. I don't know if makeup has pigments or not.
I've never used actual make-up, but discount store make-up brushes are cheap and have a multitude of uses. Well done for pushing the envelope! Phil
LOL. I clicked on this thread expecting to see a car with a giant picture of a lipstick tube, or Drew Barrymore, or something. Instead I got a very clever weathering technique idea! Great job, Candy! And nice work on those cars.
I use three different shades of MAC brand eye shadow. I avoid anything with sparkly mica in it. Their AA3 Rule Matte has a nice rust tone to it. AC3 Saddle Matte makes good dirt. And AB3 Femme Noir Veluxe is kind of a charcoal gray.
Now that's really neat. :thumbs_up: And I suppose it wouldn't be too expensive if one doesn't slather it on too thick. One wouldn't want to turn the cover girl into a cheap hooker... LOL
That's a great looking job. :thumbs_up: But, being single it might get some snickers if I went buy make up. rolleyes:
One of the local model railroaders in the Houston area used to give clinics at various train shows and conventions. One of her clinics was on using makeup for weathering. There always seemed to be a run on makeup at the local department stores after the clinics. Many guys would go in groups for mutual support. However, I went all by my lonesome. After picking out what I wanted to buy and plunking it down at the cash register, the "makeup consultant" (sales person) asked if I was a model railroader. That was easy.
Doesn't matter if someone thought of it before. It still takes a creative mind to come up with it all over again when you had no knowledge of the previous "invention". To paraphrase the old saying, "Great minds model alike." Well done.:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:
