Thread: Make-up

In Dita's book she mentions using a "shimmering white all-over body powder" during performances. I've seen similar make-up on other performers and I was just wondering where I could get some?

Thanks xxx

Thats a really good question! I cant help you I'm afraid, i'm just bookmarking this thread, in case anyone else can.. ops:

I don't know if this is exactly right, but Stargazer do a loose powder in white or transluscent. It isn't specifically for the body and (from what I remember) the pot isn't massive but- hey- it's only £3.50, so won't break the bank.

Hopefully that link will work- if not, it's under 'Loose Powder' in the Cosmetics section. Stupid flash sites!!!

Hiya,

I've got an Estee Lauder compact called 'Platinum Illuminator' - I use it as a highlighter and it's very pale and gives a great shimmer.

It would be expensive to use all over the body but if it's only for occaisional performances a little would probably go a long way. It looks like a champagne colour in the compact but it's much paler on.

It would be worth checking Ebay for them, I;ve seen them on there at a much better price than I paid.

Ooh, I've just remembered 'Urban Dacay' do something similar specifically for the body - and, wait for it........ it's pina colada flavour! double bonus - look sparkly then lick it off after, or get someone elso to! Also cheaper on Ebay.

I dont think the Stargazer ones are shimmery, though. I have the pressed powder version of the white one, and its very useful.

I just thought of the Urban Decay body powders too. I have the cocoa one, which is a shimmery bronzing powder that tastes like chocolate! they do quite a few dofferent ones. I think Porcelaindolly is right, ebay would be your best bet for getting those cheap.

The last urban decay one I got from Ebay was just £6, I think the RRP is £18 on those.

I've read that Dita is a big fan of Shiseido make up and I'm sure her body powder was by them. It's a Japanese brand and the Japanese are really into whitening products. Here's a link: Shiseido although there isn't anything similar on there - but it might be worth asking when you're next in a big department store.

I think that Pina Colada shimmer has not long been discontinued, so you'll probably get it pretty cheap on ebay.
