Cosplay Update : Kagamine Rin- Sandplay Singing of the Dragon

Yo guys! It's been a while since an update!~ Anyways I'm here today with a quick cosplay update for the J-pop Summit Festival~ I will be going as Sandplay Kagamine Rin as shown VVVVV
 So then!~ Shall we I show you my Progress so far? =w=~//

Skirt-

So for the skirt, I simply patterned a usual/normal short skirt for the base with a red-ish Maroon color fabric. I KNOW it's HUGE and WIDE but not to worry, the elastic will bunch it up together, making a ruffle/ pleated effect without me sewing in the pleats. I basically sew a normal drawstring like skirt first and made a tube for the elastic to go through ^w^~//

Next I made another layer, the same length of the skirt above ^^ and instead, i cut off the edges to make it round for the second layer. It was pretty ok sewing this layer on since i had to locate the middle of it and started sewing from behind where the seam of the base skirt is. After i did that, I simply took a leftover strip of fabric and hemmed it and added it all around. At the very end I, of course, added the elastic and the final result is shown below~ I might have to wear a few petite coats though to give the skirt an extra puff ^^


Head Bow~

Simple enough to explain - A simple black rectangular bow~ made from the same fabric as the coat/blazer. I added some red ribbon/rope I braided.

Cosplay Makeup: Female vs. Male Makeup Part 2

So..This is the 2nd part of my cosplay makeup post. This time its time for the males xD Though it may not seem like the males in anime aren't wearing any makeup..a little wouldn't hurt right? Though its nothing much really... the basic stuff are:

 

 

Base/skin-

Obv. most male characters we see portrayed in Anime/Manga usually have these narrow/ sharp eyes. Though we need to start from the base first: flawless skin. The easiest way to obtain this, is of course, foundation and powder. You should sometimes pick a foundation color a few shades lighter than your normal skin color to give you a bit of a "glow" to your face. Usually, after you apply your foundation, you should of course add a bit of loose powder to make the foundation to last longer.

   Eyeshadow/Eyeliner -

 Next of course could be the eyes. You could never go wrong with a nutreal pallet eyeshadow. Choose any nutrual color of eyeshadow of your choice(Ex. light shimmering gold, or a matte light brown color) to add a bit of color/depth to your eyes*making them appear bigger*(also, its good to add some under the brow area for a more sharp feature).  What also really helps contribute to your eyeshape is eyeliner!~ Eyeliner helps define your eye at sometimes and can even change your eyeshape but extending it.//PHOTO BY YUEGENFAY @ DA- YUEGENE*


Contouring / Highlights-

 Ahhh~ Contouring and Highlights. They help your face loose a bit chubb chubb in photos xD For contouring, its best to use bronzer on the sides of your cheeks/ face at the temples. It helps make your face appear slimmer on photos. As for Hightlights, what I normally use is a light shimmering white eyeshadow on my noise forehead/ cheeks for a more perfect face/ yes, again it contributes to making your face slimmer.





Eyebrows/ lips-


 All you really see on male characters for lips are just a line. Nude color lipsticks can help concel the redness of your lips and with a bit of eyeliner/ black eyeshadow below the cupids bow of your lip, it'll give an illusion of fine lips. or you could just use chapstick xD as for the brows, most males have colored brow. Well , to achieve coloring your brows, a glue stick may help. It help keeps your eyebrow hair down/ with a bit of concealer, it can almost make your eyebrows disappear completely, making it a blank canvas to apply your brow color for the character or perhaps change your brow shape.

Cosplay Makeup : Female vs. Male Makeup

 Is makeup really important in Cosplay? Well.. in my opinion I think it's great once in a while to wear some. Makeup can always give you and extra "Boost" in photos and can always enhance your facial features. Such as the highpoints of your face or maybe the shape of it.Anime characters mostly have features we, normal people, don't really have. Such as maybe flawless skin or really big eyes like theirs. True, there are MAJOR ways to obtain such features but makeup is a choice. And even sometimes you'll be surprised at yourself on how much of a difference it makes in a photo. If youre probably new to cosplay, then here's a little amateur "guide" to makeup; Male and Female c:

Part 1 :Female Characters Makeup//



  Base/skin-

Obv. most female characters we see portrayed in Anime/Manga usually have these BIG eyes. Though we need to start from the base first: flawless skin. The easiest way to obtain this, is of course, foundation and powder. You should sometimes pick a foundation color a few shades lighter than your normal skin color to give you a bit of a "glow" to your face. Usually, after you apply your foundation, you should of course add a bit of loose powder to make the foundation to last longer.

Choose any nutrual color of eyeshadow of your choice(Ex. light shimmering gold, or a matte light brown color) to add a bit of color/depth to your eyes*making them appear bigger*(also, its good to add some under the brow area for a more sharp feature). What another good idea is if your character sorta has a "color theme" to it (example- Miku's color is Blue) you could also add a bit of color to your eyes. What also really helps contribute to your eyeshape is eyeliner!~ Eyeliner helps define your eye at sometimes and can even change your eyeshape but extending it.


False Lashes-

 Another tip on making your eyes appear bigger is false lashes. Now false Lashes come in a variety of shapes and styles now a days and might be hard to choose. The best choice to go for is medium thick lashes- Not too heavy and not to natural.-. As for applying them, heres a helpful video tutorial by klairedelysart on Youtube- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z7m6RnBSqM


Contouring / Highlights-

 Ahhh~ Contouring and Highlights. They help your face loose a bit chubb chubb in photos xD For contouring, its best to use bronzer on the sides of your cheeks/ face at the temples.
