So, seeing as I'm jumping in with both feet - I thought i'd share a little about what I do!
Right now I'm trying to dabble a little in face and body paints for makeup looks - does anybody else do that here? I've searched a little on halloween tutorials, but I didnt see any for her!
Bottom Line - I love water based, LIQUID body paint.
1.) it glides on seamless and effortlessly
2.) it actually dries, whereas some creams wont
3.) you can layer with it, perfect for 3 dimensional looks!
I purchase my liquid paints from mehron, but i've also picked up some good ones on ebay. i basically look for water based body paint, or airbrush body paint. The consistencies in those are the best

for this look, i used basic eyeshadows on my eyes, and my lightest color of foundation for my face. plus a dark coral blush on the hollows of my cheeks for a real contoured look /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
basically you want to use paintbrushes, not your regular makeup brushes - you dont want to ruin those! I picked most of these up at the dollar store, less worries, less fuss! use the black paint to exagerate any facial features (ie, eyebrows, cheekbones, jawline, nose and eye creases - you can also use liquid eyeliner for this!!!)
you can also do the "pixelated" look with dots all over the place, but honestly - i think without them it is just as effective, and much less tedious!!!
one bonus tip is to use gold eyeshadow over the yellow areas - this will really give them a pop and make them look more golden (obviously haha)
let me know what you guys think! has anybody else tried a wonderwoman look? I'd love to see them!!!!
