I want to do this makeup on myself.
What products should I use? Is there a cheap drug store eye-shadow that would last all day?
What color should the contour be? Black is a little too harsh for me.
Thanks :)

Most people I've watched use mehron body paint (I think that's what it's called) :)

Just use black and white face paint - they sell them pretty cheaply at fancy dress shops xxx

Yeah you won't get that look with eyeshadow, need cream.

Mehron paradise body makeup is the exact name I think Shaye is looking for :)
I use it and it's amazing. A lot of makeup artist I know use it :)
It's not cheap though like regular paint stuff. But it last for a LONG time. Even with all the looks I have done I still have the container I started with and they aren't even close to being empty.

Also using eyeshadows to create the shading is one of the easier ways of shading.

I'm looking for a subtler look, will that paint work with me in that aspect? Also, what color? Thanks :)

Yes it will :)
You just have to have the right brushes to create look.
Even regular Halloween paint can get you that look with the right brushes.
But for regular Halloween paint you would probably have to get a setting powder.
For both though using eyeshadow to shade is the key to making it look very detailed. The paint is just for painting the outline like where the holes are in the skeleton. I hope this makes sense
