I am curious as to any makeup brands that you might like better than others?  Now for the big question....  Can anyone do UV makeup that doen't either look like a clown or a ghoul?  I am looking for glamourous and sexy.  After much R & D the picture in my portfolio of the two gals is the closest I have come.  Feel free to tell me what you think....
Thank you

I totally went thru a blacklight phase...so much fun! I've done a couple of photo shoots involving blacklight and blacklight make up.  You cant apply it the same as you would regular make up, but there's definately some neat things you can do.  You may also need a filter to take down the bluish glow the lights cause or use a small amout of ambient light.  As far make up company's, there's only one I've used and played around with. email me if you have any other specific questions.
