Avocado Butter - how much to order for a party

Post by Hoyden » Sun Oct 17, 2010 3:30 am

So we're having a big Halloween party with our neighbors & I'll be doing make-up for about 6 - 8 people at least. How many pods should I order? I'm thinking maybe one for each person?

We'll also be one of the frights in Castle of the Damned this year. Since I'm allergic to the grease paint, I figured I could whip up my own scary clown make-up with the Avocado Butter and some mineral make-up by scooping the butter into a clean contact lens case, mixing in minerals and closing it up.

Any suggestions on how to concoct my clown make=up?

Thanks,

Hoyden

I don't have the avocado butter, but I have 2 on the way. I did order the carrot and pumpkin salve gumball from months ago, which I'm positive is similar, and I've been using this for my eye makeup lately, it makes a wonderful stay-put base. A little goes an amazingly long way, I've been using it for over a week and there isn't a dent in it yet. I'm sure I'll have this for months to come before I need to break into my avocado butters. I just wanted to give you an idea of how far it will truly go.

I think four will do you with some left over if you apply the avocado butter as kind of a primer. It spreads alot like other natural butters. It does not take much.

If you are planning to pre-mix it for yourself, you might need a quarter to a half a pod per color. Any mineral makeup should blend, but matte will probably work best. The butter will kill the sparkle, so if shimmer is important tot he look, put it over the top.

Thank you ladies. I'll be making an order soon.

I'm going to mix the butter with matte mineral powders. The area that I need sparkles on, I'll put down a matte base & dust the sparkles over.
