Hi all. Last year I spent a ton of time on my haunt (see it at hauntedlincoln.com) but my costume was really lame. I had a black robe and a latex skull mask. This year I'd like to be an authentic looking old pirate. I've found some sites that have pictures of costumes, so I think I'm okay on that end, but I'd like to use makeup (rather than a mask) to look like an old, scraggly pirate. I've done some googling but everything I find is basically cheap kids stuff. Any suggestions on where I can get some information on 1) how to apply stuff to look like a pirate and 2) where to buy it? Thanks in advance!

Heya check out the Slip Appliances on our site.
Nothing changes your appearance quicker than a full facial appliance, and you can paint them however you like. to fit your scheme. Just because it has the name Zombie doesnt mean it cant be a Rotted Zombie Pirate, or Ophelia, the witch couldnt be a Big Nosed Pirate captain, thats the Beauty in FX you make it what you want it to be......

Bodybags is correct and his products are amazing but might I also suggest cinema secerets woochie appliances,last year I seen a "damned pirate" in there collection(kind of like bootstrap bill from Pirates of the carribean) also there face paints are pretty good but I personally prefer Wolffe brothers paint because it is water based it goes on exceptionaly smooth and once it dries it is smudge proof( I work at a costume shop and have went 10 hrs in my face paint and it never cracks or smears) this is hands down the best affordable face paint out there.

yep i was about to say the same thing this are great places to start and another is screamteam .com

they have a boney pirate look like a skeleton
