Omg ahahaa don't worry, no offense taken! This was before I had gotten everything I needed for my cosplay so it was more of a face makeup test than anything. The rest was indeed added on so I could get an idea of what it would look like altogether to determine whether or not i wanted to go through with the cosplay. <: I did end up doing it, and it looks like this!

Ohhhh... That makes so much more sense! Cause the makeup looked real, but the outfit didn't really.

I find it hard to be cute when I'm the cross-dressing chick who'd rather get a framed Catoxantha Opulenta or Whip Scorpion instead of a butterfly. For crying out loud, I chased girls accross the football feild with a dead squirell..

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ;o;

The makeup is definitely my favourite part to do~! And I've had lots of practice from Homestuck and Jack Skellington cosplays, hehe~

BUT AHHHHH THANKS. I AM WORKING REALLY HARD TO IMPROVE MY COSPLAYING SKILLS, SO YOUR COMMENT MEANS A LOT TO ME. C':

AHHH YAAAYY (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I can even imagine doing that makeup like

I REALLY wanna do a Paige cosplay (that won't be half as good as yours BUTIT'LLBEFUNATLEAST) and I'm so clueless on the makeup like what to use or how do or anything like that

//never applied actual makeup on self once in lifetime

Maybe I should practice just slathering random colours on my face and seeing how to get it smoothest o_____o

Ahhh, well, a huge part of it is using the right makeup, then after that comes applying it in the right way.

BUT I ALWAYS, ALWAYSSSSS ADVISE AGAINST CHEAP PARTY MAKEUP THAT YOU FIND AT PARTY CITY AND STUFF. That stuff is itchy as heck, smears everywhere, and probably has all kinds of oils that are bad for your face.

The most professionally used kind of face makeup is Ben Nye, I use a cheaper alternative, Snazaroo, which I believe works just as well, and it can be found at Michaels Craft Store. C: The only downfall is that it's water-based, so water makes it run, but it hardly rains where I live, so I don't really have to worry about that. o:

ANYWAY. FOR THE APPLICATION. Before you put anything on, clean your face with a washcloth covered in warm water. Then dry it, and apply a thin layer of skin lotion everywhere you'll be applying maekup. Then take a makeup sponge (mine came with my snazaroo set), and apply a single layer over your face. Remember to dab it on, don't try to spread or wipe it~ After the first layer, I apply a makeup seal (I use the Ben Nye sealing spray), apply one more layer, and seal it one more time. Then use baby powder or something similar to soften it and get rid of any possible stickiness.
Also, for the eyes, I use eyeliner close to the eye, and as I get further out, I switch to Snazaroo. I do this cause I don't want a potential watering eye to make the snazaroo run. o: Also, for the lips I used normal black lipstick. o:

AND IF YOU USE CONTACTS, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYSSSSSSS PUT THEM ON BEFORE ANY MAKEUP. ALWAYS.

Sorry, this is super long, but that's kinda how I do it. C: Maybe I'll make a video tutorial sometime. o: But I totally think you should go for it. Cosplay is never perfect when you first start out. I'm nowhere even close to perfect. BUT YOU SHOULD TOTES TRY, AND SHOW ME WHEN YOU'RE DONE~

Ohmygod I love you so much for this right now

So so SO much.

I NEVER understood how the smoothness was done, but if that's how you do it (and that makes sense too) then I'm TOTALLY willing to spend a few extra $ just to get the best effect <3 Ohmygodthankyouthankyouthankyou

The con I'm going to is in late March, I'm TRYING to get my Paige cosplay done by then but if it's not done by then then it'll be done shortly after. I'll for certain get pictures of it- I'm determined to get my first cosplay done the best I can! I'm debating getting contacts. I've already got blue eyes, but contacts would be a SWEET addition, but I'm not so sure it's in my budget. You really show that blue eyes make a great impression for it though...my eyes are kinda a ice blue colour, but they change shades varying on mood. they can literally be from practically black to like, wolf-eye ice blue xD It's awesome c: *keeps your message in my tutorials folder for reference* 

I'll for certain at least be posting my cosplay into the groups, so you can find it there, but I'll keep this message in my inbox to try to get the pictures to you when I have it done!
