Photo of

Eyeliner: Nyx Epicwear Waterproof Eyeliner (I use the liquid but apply it with an angled brush for better control. This stuff does not move in my experience)
Makeup Remover: I use baby oil!

This picture was taken of me at the end of con and my makeup was still pristine using the Nyx Epicwear!

I hope this is helpful for anyone who struggles with their makeup fading over time!

Products I use consistently:
Base: Caudalie Instant Detox Mask, Caudalie Oil-Control Moisterizer
Fixing Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter
Blending Spray: Elf Makeup Mist & Set
Gel Eyeshadow: ColourPop Gel Eyeshadow

#5: setting it for real: before adding mascara/lipstick, I add a layer of my blending setting spray and then a layer of my fixing spray. From there, I add my mascara and my lip products.

#4.2: after this layer of setting spray, I will add my highlighter. I do not really enjoy doing eyeliner tbh, but I would use an angled brush around at this step to add my eyeliner over my eyeshadow. This would be a waterproof eyeliner, to help prevent it from fading or coming off.

#4.1: after foundation: I normally will spray setting spray over my foundation. This is a different setting spray than the previous one, and the goal of the first one is more to make sure your makeup stays (fixing spray). This setting spray is used to blend the makeup together (blending spray).

#3: eyeshadow tangent: I use some form of liquid product that dries tacky (such as a gel glitter eyeshadow) instead of a primer. Due to the setting spray, there should be that base on your eyes but I like the extra security. I add my powder eyeshadow over the gel eyeshadow and blend as normal!

#2: pancaking: your base isn't as important as your setting spray! Instead of putting your foundation over your base, spray some setting spray. The goal is to lock in your base! From there, I add my blush if desired (since I use a liquid blush) and then my foundation.

#1: the base! I have found that skincare works for me as a base over a primer, since it functions to prime and make my skin look good. I use a pore detox max in order to help cleanse my skin before adding my moisturizer, which is an oil-control moisturizer due to my skin being acne prone.

I am also going to add the products that I use at the end! But also do what works for you! This is a picture of me at con yesterday. I did my makeup starting at 6:30am, and this picture was taking at around 2pm! It's a simple look, but my eyeshadow is very visibly still there!

In honor of #cosplaytutorialchallenge, I am going to be making a text thread of how I make my makeup last for all con! I personally tend to commute to cons, so I do not have the ability to go to my hotel room and touch up makeup. Instead, I make sure that my makeup is secure for the day!

Aaaa it was so fun seeing you again 💜

Cosplayed as Jotaro at a small little con today, it was so rejuvenating and I needed this more than ever. Won’t be posting everything here obv, you can check my insta for that ;3

#cosplaywip #cosplay #cosplaymaker

Cosplay friends: anyone have any cheap/easy/quick ways to make/get a wig stand? I need to brush Mizi and style/crimp Vivy and those are some *long* wigs I am scared

Also if I do this I might do a fake blood tutorial because I use lipsticks and it comes out pretty good tbh!

Ok so theoretically if I were to cosplay Mizi Alien Stage from My Clematis but some fake blood in some areas, would people maybe be interested in that??? Gimme thoughts please! (Idk how to poll on this app sorry)

This is a picture of me wearing Vivy’s dress from Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song. It is a light blue dress with black details on the front and edges of the skirt!

I lied I added straps to the dress but like look how good it looks!!!! Bottoms and cloak are next!

Good luck!

there are no such things as miracles.

Myth: You need to make your own cosplays. Fact: There is no rule book for cosplay. You can make, buy, thrift, borrow and it’s all cosplay.

Myth: You can only cosplay characters who look like you. Fact: If this was true cosplay wouldn’t exist. Cosplay whoever you want… in fact there is so much fun and discovery that comes from different portrayals of characters.

Myth: Cosplay is weird. Fact: Like gender roles, what’s “weird” is completely made up. Before judging cosplay take a look at what you enjoy from an outsiders perspective.

Myth: Cosplay is something you grow out of. Fact: There is nothing about cosplay that suggests there’s an “age-out”… that’s just bias talking.

Do you frequently hear misconceptions about cosplay? I think talking about this helps welcome people into the hobby who may be discouraged and also helps people who may feel pressured to leave something they love and enjoy stay connected.

Remember: not placing in a cosplay contest doesn't mean you lost. You didn't place. Framing it as winners and losers is not a healthy mindset to have in this kind of competition.
