Carnival makeup: skin and hair

Colorful faces and shiny hair are perfect for the many carnival masquerades. The products may contain harmful substances or cause allergies and skin irritations. Sprays and creams may, for example, cause eczema and blisters on the skin - even for just a short application in the carnival time. Therefore, you need to choose the right one for you.

Make sure that your hair is fixed well while wearing your fetish costume.



Colorful hairstyles - with and without hair spray

If you do not want to miss out on colored hair should pay attention at least to the spraying or painting to spare the scalp. Hidden additives that might irritate the scalp and can cause skin rashes are n the colorful hair dyes. A gap of 30 centimeters must be met and you should hold your breath so that no particles will enter the lungs. Wash your hair thoroughly after the party with shampoo until the water runs clear. A good choice is a synthetic hair wig.

Colored Hair Spray: Use only with caution
Colored hair with a wig is a good alternate. The hair must match your costume especially when you are wearing a cheerleader costume.
Water-based theater make-up is better tolerated.

Particularly in young children and people with allergies, there is the risk that they react sensitively to carnival makeup because these may contain many chemical additives such as preservatives, fragrances and emulsifiers.
