![]() ![]() If you want the tiniest of gears and cogs, you'll often find them marketed as nail art, like these ultra thin gears or these gear nail decals.ĭon't limit yourself to your face! Get creative, like the person who created this bloody gash SFX makeup revealing the gears beneath their flesh: You can even buy a set of 6 small gears with adhesive already applied here, (although people in the reviews recommend that you also use eyelash glue for better staying power). Place a few gears near the outer corners of your eyes for a subtle look, or go full on gear-crazy with a face full of them. Clear eyelash glue (found here or any drugstore) and a handful of gears from Amazon ( copper, bronze, or a mix of metals) or your local craft store are all you need to pull off this look. This is another super easy, unisex makeup idea for Steampunks. Get even more authentic by planning your costume poorly for the weather and sweating to death. Up the authenticity of your costume by throwing in some sweat marks with this Mehron Sweat & Tears Special Effects Liquid. You can also use a Dirtworks Grime Spray for your face and body. These Dirtworks Powders by PPI come in shades like 'Soot' and 'Muddy Waters'. Mehron also has a line of powder dirt I like this Charred Ash Powder. The Ben Nye brand has a line of dust and dirt powders and gels in various shades. If you want to be extra fancy, you can use the same 'dirt makeup' the professional Special FX makeup artists use. Smearing some vaseline on top of the makeup makes it look greasy and more realistic. Take off the goggles and continue to fan the color outward across your face. ![]() Greasepaint (found here and in Halloween costume shops) works well too. Creamy eyeshadows or eyeliner pencils will create a similar effect. Put on your goggles, then use a damp cosmetics sponge to apply dark brown or black powder eye shadow all around the edges of the goggles, making sure you get a nice clean line where they meet your skin. This is a great look for both men and women, and it's so easy to pull off! No makeup experience necessary. Explosion effects around goggles look great on Steampunk mad scientists. Grease, dirt and soot marks around goggles add character to engineer, mechanic, pilot, coal miner, factory worker, and dieselpunk costumes. While a long day of lip biting sounds super fun, I'd advise you to embrace your inner hussy and just use a natural color lip balm instead. As for lip color, Victorian women were advised to bite their lips before entering a room. Choose blush in a natural rosy tone to add slight color to your cheeks, but don't use enough to make it obvious (unless you're cosplaying as a Victorian prostitute). If your character is an upper class Victorian woman and you're going the historically accurate route, use pale pressed powder to make your complexion as white as possible. ![]() Many women did sneak some makeup to attempt the "natural look," but that usually meant the tiniest bit of rouge on the cheeks and a little powder to absorb oil. Bright makeup was expected only of painted ladies like actresses and prostitutes. From historically accurate to covered in gears, here are a variety of Steampunk makeup ideas (including options for men)!ĭuring the Victorian era, pale skin was valued because it meant you were wealthy and not a poor worker, toiling in the hot sun.
