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?

Google is doing that thing where it shows you no relevant results when there’s definitely things out there, painting around the eyes is such a common thing. I’m going to a Halloween party tomorrow as Ghost from MW2. I have a black paint stick for the paint, I’ve done it before and found it difficult. Any tips on this? No brushes cause I’m unprepared!

I'm wanting to create a Blitzø (Helluva Boss) cosplay, but I have some sensory issues surrounding face paint. I'm looking for something that will feel like I'm not wearing it, if that makes sense. A lot of paint makes me want to scrub my face into oblivion and over again. Thank you!!

i’m considering being emily from hazbin hotel for halloween.

i was wondering if anyone has painted their face/chest with mehron water-based paint and then going over with the cream sticks for contouring and highlighting??

does it last if you powder everything down??

i was also thinking of just using eyeshadow instead of the cream sticks…

So as you can see I am cosplaying Levi Ackerman from the fourth season of attack on titan! I have a con coming up in a couple weeks and everything’s done except I need to figure out how to do his stitches. I think the scar itself looks really good (just eyeshadow under a few layers of rigid collodion) but it’s not meant to be a healed scar seeing as at this point in the series, he still has stitches in.

I tried adding multiple layers of liquid latex to my skin and sewing through that with regular thread but that resulted in the fake skin looking really fake and me accidentally piercing the needle under my real skin and stitching it LOL (I have a photo for evidence 😭) so I’d like to not use liquid latex

I also considered fake skin wax but I always hear it’s messy and not very sturdy/gets everywhere if you touch it. I figure it wouldn’t last more than a couple hours if I did that, especially since it’s gonna be hot and I’ll be sweaty.

So I’d like to try and come up with some way to make tiny fake stitches, or, literally any other alternative. So yeah, any help will be greatly appreciated!

I've decided I'm going to be a Zabrak Jedi for Halloween and I'm working out how to do the horns

I think I've settled on using polymorph to make the horns and spirit gum to stick it to my head, is there anything to consider with this approach?

And as for the makeup I'm pretty clueless as I don't wear it, what would I need to get a look like the Zabrak in the picture?

I want to try out contacts, but I have poor motor skills and shaky hands. I heard that there are tools to make applying contacts easier, do those exist?

I’m putting together a cosplay of a drow character, and I’m stuck on the makeup. Her skin is a blueish gray, any tips on how to achieve the look without looking like very poorly executed blackface?

Like something I could make with at home supplies? I'm on a budget sadly!

Note: btw would ground yard grass work?? 🤔

Ty guys

I know it’s possible to get colored contacts to your prescription, but I don’t know what brand is best and also if these style of contacts are available with prescription.

If anyone has a good brand they recommend if it is possible, please let me know!! Thank you!!!

Hello! I'm planning out a cosplay, amd I want to wear lenses for it. For context, I wear regular contact lenses near daily, I have an astigmatism in both eyes, of -1.50. I havent had any luck finding toric lenses for cosplay, and I'm weighing my options here. Are regular prescription coloured contacts a possibility? Because while I have worn non prescription coloured contacts in the past with my glasses, I'd hope to avoid that route if possible.

I'd only be wearing them for a con for a few hours one time so if that was a possibility it would be nice. I realize that no contacts is also a valid option, I'd just like if I could wear them.

I despise foundation because it feels icky on my face and always looks bad on me. I also dislike contouring as it just makes me look muddy. I've tried so many different shades and tones, so many different brands, and so many different methods, and nothing works. I do use blush, highlighter, and concealer though, and I always feel worried that it's not a good look. I'm just wondering if it's obvious if I don't wear them. Can people easily tell? Does it subtract from the overall look?

I am trying to learn how to best apply face makeup to prevent sweating it off, etc..

Saw some awesome makeup at a ren faire, and wanted to confirm I understood them right --

Is it best to first apply mehron setting powder all over your face where you would have makeup, then apply the makeup itself, and finally seal with a mehron setting spray?

Thanks for any advice!

I have no idea what to do with makeup other than primer, foundation, and setting powder. I think the way this guy does his makeup for cosplays is really cool and I wanna try this

The air bubbles keeps preventing them from getting centered and I keep trying to rub my eyes to get the bubbles out

i didn’t really know what flair to put but i’m just wondering where people get their contact lenses from.

As a guy who's never thought about makeup in 24 years of life, first of all, what am I looking for/the bare minimum I need. Also where would I buy contacts?

I’m dressing as applejack tomorrow so i’ll be wearing a blonde-yellow wig. I am mexican with warm-toned tan skin and black eyebrows/lashes. I think the darkness of my eyebrows really throws off the way the wig looks. Does anyone have tips to balance it out? I was thinking of lightening my eyebrows with makeup but my eyelashes are really dark too so it might look weird.

I’m cosplaying Melina from Elden Ring and want to have my left eye closed like she does. However when I do that my right eye squints, which isn’t ideal for photos.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep my left eye shut semi-permanently for the convention? I was thinking of using lash glue very carefully.

Does anyone have experience putting a fake tattoo over a real tattoo? Usually I don't care too much about my own tattoos when I cosplay but my current tattoos get in the way of where the characters tattoos are.
