Gene Simmons Destroyer Costume

Step 12 The Makeup

The boy’s Mom did the makeup using professional-quality black and white face paint (we’re theatre people, so we had some already), referring to Google-supplied pictures of Gene Simmons for reference. I believe it was the cover of his 1979 solo album and the cover of his autobiography “KISS and Make Up”. She did a great job, too.
The only real trick to the makeup is to apply the white first in the general areas where it goes, and powder it heavily with baby powder to set it. Then sketch in the black areas with an eyeliner pencil and fill them in. If you are using budget makeup, it is a good idea to remove any stray white makeup from the black areas with a Q-tip before filling in with black, to avoid making gray. If you are using professional theatrical makeup, you can probably skip this step.
Powder the black areas heavily with baby powder (an old sock full of powder works very well for this), remove any excess powder with a soft makeup brush, and you’re ready to Rock & Roll All Nite!
