  • 1.  silver/gray "statue" paint

    Posted 02-13-2018 11:03
    Does anyone have recommendations for Mary Poppins statue stage makeup? It will need to go on and come off quickly as the statues are also other company characters.

    Thank you!

    Have you considered silver body suits?

    ​I have the silver body suits - looking for the best choice for face and hand makeup. Thanks, though!

    I'd look at using an air brush. You can use a light layer of silver paint to create the shimmer effect of the statue and, if you use a body suit, you'll only need to do hands, head and face. It will still take a little bit of time to get off afterwards though.

    The only other option I can think of is a morph suit. You could cut out the face and then only use the make-up on that area. It would also be easy to add to the costume by layering.
