Kotal Kahn Headpiece Process 

 Note: I started in foam because I wasn’t sure if three worbla was going to arrive on time but it did and I just added it on top. 

 1. That’s how make my helmet patterns since I don’t have a cast of my head. It’s kinda hard but got used to it. You sure can find an easier way! 

 2. Draw the pattern into the Eva foam. 

 3. Glue them together with barge cement. If you never heard about it you can get it online or get contact cement in Home Depot. How it works? Use the brush it has to apply it on each side you want to glue together (don’t out a lot just I small layer) let it dry for like 3-5 min then out them together. 

 4. Add details with craft foam. 

 5. In my case like I explained worbla arrived a lol late so I had o add it on top of it. So I finished my details with worbla. 

 6. Lines details were made with wood burner tool. 

 7. When you think are done with everything just have fun painting it!

SO. You always hear talk of “SEAL YOUR MAKEUP! SEAL YOUR MAKEUP!” BUT. Some people might ask, “What does that mean?”

And it can be confusing. When you’re looking at makeup for costumes and you have no idea what to buy you might look at the first picture and think, “SEAL YOUR MAKEUP” and buy that. I mean it says Final Seal, that’s gotta be it, right? WRONG. The phrase that should be uttered everywhere is “SET YOUR MAKEUP SET YOUR MAKEUP.” The difference is pretty big. When you are using creme based makeup they will go on “wet”. Meaning it’ll be shiny and it can rub off on everything. However when you apply a setting powder to it, it will lose the shine and adhere to skin better. Your makeup will feel “dry”. Now, sealing spray is like the last shield between your makeup and the outside world. It’s waterproof to a point, (I got water thrown at my face as Karkat and I only needed to reapply my setting powder and spray), and it’ll make your makeup a bit more sturdy. It will not however act as a stand in for setting. When you apply just the spray your makeup will still smudge and rub off. You’ll also still look shiny as all hell. It’s best to use both with each other. Setting your makeup first then sealing it after. However I’ve gone out on the con floor and have forgotten to seal before and my face looked pretty damn good still. Final Seal is your last barrier, but it can’t be your ONLY barrier. Using both makes everything stick the best, however high energy contact between your skin and something else will still cause rub off. Be careful when in full body makeup and think about alternatives like arm socks, tights, and PAX if you want to take it to the next level.
