Black Light Reactive Makeup/Lashes…?
Anyone have any suggestions on where to find falsies and/or lipstick that are black light reactive? I am looking into it for a piece in an upcoming show… I have had some luck in finding lashes at the drugstore that are not advertised as black light lashes that do in fact glow in black light, but only around Halloween. And I have bought black light reactive lashes online only to find that they do not, in fact, glow in the blacklight!
I have looked through Madame Madeline, but there is not much selection for what I am looking for (but otherwise a great site). Preferably the lipstick/lashes would glow either white or pink, but in regular light be a more natural color. Also, the lashes should not be self-adhesive with a thick band… bc the band itself will most likely also glow, which looks a little odd. I tried to use a product like that but it wasn't working very well.
Just hoping that someone knows where to look! Thanks all 🙂

Here is a website you might find helpful –

I noticed they have plain black light reactive t-shirts. If you sew you can always just buy the shirt and reshape/create something from the fabric.
If you don't sew you can try your hand at cutting it up – maybe something like this?

Thanks polefitmom! We are pretty set on the costumes… it's a group chair piece, not a pole solo, so the costuming part is set. We ran at halloween last time, so we could get the lashes here locally, but we are running again at the end of March, so I am looking into finding stuff now. The costumes that we are trying to get the lashes and lips for are in my photos here…

Unfortunately, the angle in the dark doesnt show the lashes and lips that I had then, but they were a little too subtle so I am looking for alternatives.

Oops I just re-read your post and those lashes might not fit your needs but you can probably find pink ones online or buy blonde ones and paint them pink or whatever color with the Krylon paints.

@Corby, check out the Circa Xotic Eyes. The tops of the eyes glow in the black light.

@glitter, thanks for the info! The amazon link wasnt working though… can you retry it or let me know what you searched for? The tricky part about the makeup is that it has to be layered and not visible in the regular light. Timewise, I have a piece right before that costume change and I dont have time to change makeup at all. Where could I find blonde falsies?
@ MsBKitty, will definitely check it out! Thanks for the advice 🙂

Search for krylon UV palette. You can use the pink as a lip color and wear the other shades on your lids blended with regular shadow in the crease?
