![]() It’s hard to name brands for lipstick, because there are so many shades that vary with so many different brands. I use fake lashes from anywhere from Walmart to Amazon using DUO Lash Glue. What I do is I paint one line from the outer corner of the eye to however far I want the wing to go, then connect the tip of that across my lid to my inner corner, then fill it in.Įyelashes are a hard one to explain, so it’s best to either take the time to learn how to put them on or look up a tutorial. Eyeliner is the same as shadow, the shape depends on the character I’m doing, and with eyeliner you just need practice to figure out which technique works best for you. I put it across my cheekbones, nose, and in the inner corner of my eyes.įor eyeliner I use NYX Matte Liquid Liner in Black. Then I put on highlight my personal favorite is Physicians Formula Butter Highlighter in Champagne. That way you cover your entire eye with whichever color you need. My favorite eyeshadow to use is also from Spoiled Cosmetics, all of their products that I have so far are wonderful to use! My eyeshadow ALWAYS depends on the character I am doing at the moment, but always follows the same pattern: darker in the outer corner of the eye, then blended all the way in on the lid. I don’t contour often, but when I do it’s just below my cheekbones with Almay pressed powder, or any powder that’s slightly darker than my original skin tone.Įyebrows often depend on the color of the character’s hair, but usually I use brown in the Lancôme Warm Day palette (I don’t believe they are sold anymore) or the black shade in Spoiled Cosmetics Volume 4 palette. I like to use a mixture of all of the warm colors or a blend of the top two rows in the NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette for blush. I personally use Garnier SkinActive BB Cream for foundation, then I use Airsun loose face powder to set it and make it less shiny. Doing makeup is also a lot of experimenting with your own face’s colors and shapes, so I will list products, not techniques. ![]() In my experience, a lot of dollar store products are just as good as some name brand ones. Eyeshadows can be just as pigmented, foundations can be just as smooth it’s just a matter of using them correctly. Quite honestly, drug store makeup is just as good as name brand makeup. ![]() I apply foundation, setting powder, contour, eyebrows, blush, eyeshadow, highlight, eyeliner, eyelashes, and then lipstick. While there are a few basic courtesy rules, there’s never really a wrong way to cosplay! Technique Some people might change into their costume after they put their makeup on, whereas I tend to put my costume on beforehand. While I might put lipstick on last, others might put it on first or third. For example, my makeup process is completely different from my other cosplay friends. There is never a specific process for getting into cosplay. I love knowing that I can create a different look anytime I want to. I actually almost never draw my ideas first the characters are usually already made and have a design. Most of the characters I cosplay are from television shows, movies, books, podcasts, etc. People always say, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” So my advice is to keep trying! And if after many tries you still aren’t happy, you can always look up tutorials online or pay for commissions from others! There’s absolutely no shame in buying all of your cosplays rather than making them yourself, it won’t make your cosplay any less special. People always ask me for tips for when they start cosplaying, and I always tell them to be patient! Your skills can and will improve over time, so don’t give up when something doesn’t turn out great. Over time, though, I was able to improve! ![]() I didn’t quite know how to use my face paint, I didn’t know how to style wigs, and I didn’t know how to put detail into my makeup or my costumes. She had been doing it for a while, and ended up introducing me to it one night while we were hanging out. The person who got me started cosplaying is one of my best friends. There’s so much creativity and craft that goes into cosplay, and I think that’s what makes it art. I’ve been cosplaying for almost five years now, and I’m only 16! With cosplay, you can put your own spin on these characters as you please it doesn’t matter if they already have a visual representation or not. Hello! I’m Maddie, I’m from Utah, and what I “create” are cosplays! For those who may not know, cosplaying is the act of dressing up as a character from a game, movie, show, book, podcast, etc.
