Making Lae'zel - Makeup & Tights
How did I get that Githyanki skin glow? I used Mehron Paradise AQ makeup for my neck and face, and for my arms and legs I wore seamless armsocks and dance tights from We Love Colors that I dyed using RIT Dyemore for synthetics.
To make the right shade of body paint, I combined the Olive and Dijon Paradise colors using a spatula and blended until it was a consistent color. Only then did I apply the makeup using a brush for complete coverage all in one application. Don't forget barrier spray!
To find the right shade for the tights and armsocks, I used RIT's color guide as a starting point (I used "Gherkin") and tweaked the dye recipe a little. Also note that the arm socks and the tights are not exactly the same blend of fibers, so be aware that the dye result will not be the same. You'll have to test and use the force a little :). While there isn't a sewn seam in the armsocks, you'll most likely notice a difference in the dye consistency along the invisible seam.
For the spots on the tights, I used my custom Mehron Paradise blend. This will wash out and I'll need to reapply with something more permanent.
