Tutorial: Make it Up - Female Faces, and Make-Up

[Ghool]

This was supposed to release yesterday, but real life, and my competition entires interfered. Luckily, I had enough time to move it to today, and get it finished!

Not a request, but methods that I hope will help everyone get the most out of their female miniatures; Make it Up - Female Faces, and Make-Up.

Enjoy!

Thanks for that, I've never painted female miniatures before and now I own 12 though admittedly 8 of them are undead - 7 of which are hookers

For hookers, just increase the ratio of blush, and eyeshadow colour to your flesh mix, and they'll look like good and proper 19th century prostitutes.

Really red cheeks, and gaudy blue eyeshadow would suit the Malifaux hookers perfectly.

19th century hookers = tuppenny uprights and/or painted jezzabelles, i love the colourful English language, haha.

I really enjoyed this tutorial – thx Ghool – hope to put some of the things learned into effect soon.

Hey great write up thank you, I use almost exclusively P3 paints so its great to find tutorials that I can replicate.

I am going to have to try some books on tape while I read that is a good Idea as well

Um...a tupenny upright is something you *do* with a painted jezzabelle. *cough, cough*

Thanks for the tutorial, I do wonder whether any woman (hookers excepted) would actually bother wearing make up to go into battle though. When you sweat, it runs and gets in your eyes and then it stings. :dontknow:

I've seen bakers and cooks do it, and most times, they're sweating a lot.

I've watched their make-up run down their face, and get in their eyes, and still the next day, they come in with the foundation packed on, ready for more.

I would always chuckle to myself, and shake my head, and watch the foundation melt day-in and day-out.

That said, I can suspend my disbelief to have nice looking miniatures.

Thumbs up, great tutorial.

Well, I doubt the showgirls would be seen anywhere without full makeup. Saturday nights where I live see plenty of woman in full make up charging into battle, broken bottles in each hand (it's pretty scary)

I MUST vist Wales...

I really don't understand make up in general the way most people apply it, but I do understand i'm in the minority there.
