My good friend Alan graciously agreed to be my personal guinea pig so that I could showcase the steps I go through when costuming and when helping others to costume as a drow/dark elf!
Tools:
Wig cap
Graftobian Disguise Stix (1Black, 1 White)
Silver Opaque Pigment Powder (I used Lime Crime in MirrorMirror)
Latex/Prosthetic Elf Ears (I use Aradani or Neraluna)
1 Vial of Spirit Gum
Spirit Gum Remover
Mascara in White (Kryolan)
Brushes (thin, wide, thick round)
Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Eyeliner Pencil in Opaque White (I used MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating)
White, SIlver or Light blonde wig
Got 2 B Glue Freeze Hair Spray (keeps fly-aways at bay)
Optional Tools:
Color Contacts
Makeup Setting Spray (Graftobian, Ben Nye or equivalent)
Process:
-put hair in wig cap
-apply latex ears (you may paint them first or wait until they’re on to paint)
-outline eyes in liquid eyeliner (this prevents other makeup from running into your eyes
