I'm doing full covering.
Could the super white powder be better than the neutral one for a more intense white color?
(I'm looking for max contrast between black and white).

white:
2.5 oz clown white lite
1.75oz superwhite powder

black:
black lipcolor
creme color black pencil -or- a pot with black creme color (for applying with a brush?)

I have a few brushes, any other tools that will come in handy?

And yeah, I still need webshop recommendations.
A shop in europe might be good regarding shipping, but also need a shop that has everything I need.

Yes. THe white powder will give you maximum brite white but use the neutra set on the black. White powder on black gives a grey appearance and don't use baby powder. I used it many years ago when everyone did. There is a better way now. Use the specialized powders.

allright, so the best way is two powders, but is using just the neutral one good enough? would save me some money (and effort).

Sorry for picking on every detail.. I'll show you how it turns out later, promise.

I don't see how to edit posts, so I'll just post another one, this is approx. what I aim to look like:

It's a photo of me quickly photoshopped (now that's something I .do. have experience with)

Yes. The neutra set pwder will set both no problem Its is also less wastefull that baby pwder. Never put it in a sock. (Old trick) too wasteful. use a puff.

I see that the Mehron clown white lite is much cheaper than ben nye, 8oz cost only 9USD.
Is it just as good?

I haven't tried it but the colors are good. Just avoid Steins makeup. It's not like the old stuff I have. It was the best in it's day.

Mehron is a good make up just dont put it on too thick put it on in thin layers just enough to cover and it will last all day
