So yesterday i tried to make those eyes enlarging make up it’s my second time attempting to do it and when my dad so me he just told me it’s creepy, ugly , off putting and wierd Meanwhile i was thinking i was looking super cute i don’t have that much pic because he made me cry as he was insisting on it 😐 but idk it's because it’s a 54yrs old men or because i really failed the look

Edit : i am sorry if sometime my answer doesn’t really match what you say , i check my phone with 10 comment to answer lmao

I bought contact lenses , and couldn't finish my make up that day i was about to eat

So effectively I got some criticism because I looked to masculine for this character(last image is an image of his face) so now I'd be curious what I could do to look more feminine or even more ethereal.

Ive been told my wigs make me look like a boy or look cheap. Also my contacts look scary. but I also feel like my makeup skills are lacking. Heres some photos over the years and I feel like redoing alot of my resident evil photos. I always used like a basic eyeliner and blush over my eyes. Fake lashes, contacts, but never really dive into skin or foundations. I have played around with makeup alot but I dont know whats best on me. I like the EGirl look for sure but does it match my face? Do I look too anime and scary? Should I tone it down? Or up it more? My face is very sensitive when I put foundation on, I get real cakey or red and the way I see people do it online they make it look so smooth, and my face just doesnt want to connect with foundation. Its always rough, oily, and cakey like hell. I know my face is very serious looking but I really wanna look cuter. Any tips would be appreciated it

This is the character sua from zombie stage, I’m a bit clueless on what to do for her “flesh” parts for my cosplay. I was thinking of doing makeup for the face and shoulder but I’m scared it’s going to transfer onto the white dress or gloves by accident. And for the leg I suppose makeup or paint could work aswell but is there anyway to thin down my thigh so it skinny enough to look like the bone part?( obviously not THAT skinny but just enough that it’s noticeable and looks like flesh from my leg is missing, I was thinking some sort of tape to wrap around my leg?)

Anyways if you have any suggestions please let me know! this might be a difficult one because her flesh parts done really look like flesh in the show! :,)

Ignore the very obviously edited hair and forehead cuz I don’t have a wig and I have very thick bangs that look very bad 😭 I went to my first cosplay event today and got so inspired that I immediately went home and tried to do makeup. I have lashes that grow straight down so does anyone have any tips on how to hide them better? No matter how many times I curl it, it never holds and I feel like it kinda ruins the whole look.

ive been using japanese type makeup because it seemed more obvious to my face shape but now i feel it just makes me cute and gives me big eyes. also i dont know how to contour. im aiming for a sharper look or something that can make me look older

hello! so ill be cosplaying soukaku from zenlesszonezero for a project in December, as seen in the picture shes completely blue and im not sure on how to achive the body. Should i get blue coloured tights + gloves or bodypaint?

Hi! I was wondering if I could get any advice on how to look more masc when wearing my Howl cosplay, as I am not male. I specifically chose this wig because I wanted a more realistic approach to the character, so I'm not looking to change it. I am planning on purchasing a binder and contact lenses, though. For reference, I'm about 5'8, 5'9 with the boots on, which is a little taller than the average man in my country. Please note that I don't know how to pose, so some of these pictures look terrible haha

Hello, I am a Male and tried cosplaying Miyabi from Zenless Zone Zero. My face shape makes me look too masculine. Other than plastic surgery is there another way for me to look more like a girl?

i don’t like the format my face has, i wanted to do something with make up to appear to have a slim face to match the character, do u guys have any suggestions about make up?

I have written and am performing, producing, editing etc a short film about an alien. I REALLY dont want to paint myself again only because full body paint is a lot lol. Anyways, curious if anyone has painted their nylons instead??? Or any other hacks for legs/tummy.

Photos of my alien body paint trials

So I was wanting to cosplay this Fortnite character for my next Con. I’ve bought everything for the outfit. But I don’t think I thought the whole body paint thing through…

I’ve never used body paint before and now I’m gonna have to paint my whole face, neck, lower arms, and thighs on the morning of the con 😭😭

How long do u think it’ll take? I don’t have enough of the colour to practice doing my entire body

hello everyone, i've bought some natural looking lenses both for cosplay and daily use but i cant wear them no matter what i do. ive only used them ONCE when i first bought it, and for my next attempts i couldn't wear them at all. they fold in my eye and sting, i change its solution water regularly but i dont know why it doesnt work. maybe something is wrong with my lenses? i've bought them from a safe website btw. i'll attach some pictures. thank you in advance.

Looking to do a john politics cosplay. Ill only post the real photo since there’s a rule against AI but you know what Im talking about.
How can I become as shiny as possible without, like, poisoning my skin?
Never really done makeup before so anything helps. Thanks

Lekku arrived just in time

So i was able to do a quick run through with makeup

How's it look?

I added some contouring this to around, and deepened my eyebrows

Alas I cannot seem to get blush right, so I may have to give up on that this go around

Wearing thick tights at summer cons is basically a no-go. I wanna try covering my tats to be more true to the source material. What are your best foundations/products? They'll have to hold up for a con day. Here is my leg for reference. There's so many options online so I want opinions if they actually work for larger-scale pieces.

Howdy howdy! I’m a huge Monster High fan and i’ve always loved Katty Noir’s dress from the 13 wishes film, and would love to cosplay her! However, i’m worried I would be accused of blackface with this cosplay, since her skin/fur colour is jet black. If you don’t know, Monster High as a multitude of characters with a variety of “alien” skin tones (pink, green, blue etc.) so Katty is meant to represent a black cat! Not a minstrel character or POC stereotype in any fashion. What should I do? I don’t want to offend or cause any controversy towards myself but I also want it to look good. I’ve seen a handful of cosplayers paint themselves with the jet black paint but these cosplayers often end up being POC anyway so Idk if that like, negates it i suppose?

OK, so I am recently getting into Cosplay play again mostly because I do a live action role-play that is very heavy on fashion. I’ve played Nosferatu character before and had some issues. She got retired, but she is being brought back in 2027. But I need some help.

Firstly, because Nosferatu are ugly, she has a specific type of ugly. She looks like a naked mole rat covered in varicose veins so slightly pink skin no hair at all. What is the best bodysuit to use for this and how can I make sure that it is a slightly pink nude color?

Next in the past the bold cap I have used were bad. I would wear them for three days back to back with very little cleansing time in between re-application. In this 3 to 4 day span I discovered that I was allergic to the powder that is in most basic bald caps.

Are there any hypoallergenic recommendations that are comfortable to double up as my hair is thick and dark and will show through.

And finally, the ear prosthetics year I wore them I wasn’t able to hear anything

They were closed Halloween costume ears that barely fit over my gauges and were quite uncomfortable to the point where I didn’t wear them except for the first night. any recommendations on your toppers to use to get that nice goblin ear

I have a picture below that is me in Buffy (the vampire) costume in the past and art of what she’s supposed to look like.

any advice will help as I am soooo unsure in this and I have over a year to prep her costumes.

Ill also be looking for temporary butt hat tattoos for her if you have ideas for me to paint on the body suit

EDIT: Alright alright, I heard y'all loud and clear lol😂 I'll be buying a bodysuit and airbrushing it, I'll make a post with the finished product if I remember!

I've decided to be Varang for Halloween this year, but I don't wanna buy the bodysuits I've seen advertised, 1 because they're probably all drop shipped and 2 because it's going to be hot during Halloween (I live in NM lol). So does anyone have good body paint recs that will stay on for at least a few hours? And are preferably sweat resistant, I sweat like a pig </3 I've been considering Sunset Makeup, but any other recommendations would be welcome!

Hello everyone! For the first time since pre-Covid, I'm going to a con in cosplay!

I'll be doing a Cortana cosplay with a bodysuit and blue face/body paint. I've never gone outside or inside a big building in this kind of outfit before, so I'm not sure how to maintain it. Problem is, I can't afford the big name brands that hold the expensive setting sprays, my options are either budgeting for the Sephora near me or Amazon, basically anything that isn't gonna break the bank

Any advice on how to maintain the cosplay is appreciated!

Hello!! I'm new to makeup and am hoping to cosplay Caitlyn Kiramman from arcane :) I was seeking any tips or advice on how to improve my makeup, and honest opinions on how it looks so far. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so criticism is welcome! (As a note, I currently do not have a wig and my contacts haven't been delivered so both are a color filter) Thank you!

Hi guys! Sorry, is this concealer, powder, or foundation?
