Look Like You Walked Off a Black-and-White Movie Set With This Easy Costume

"Priming skin is important whether you're doing your normal routine or theatrical makeup," explained Personette. "Make sure your skin is clean, dry, and hydrated." She used Temptu Base Smooth and Matte Primer ($35) underneath the grayscale makeup, choosing it because its strong formula works well in heat or during outdoor activities, but still comes off with standard makeup remover. If you shave your face, you should do so the evening before, so there is no risk of irritating your fresh skin with makeup.
