Cosplay Class-20131018

Let me start this with a question, “What do you see first when you’re looking at someone?” I guess the answer is EYES for most people, not include some male(= ̄ω ̄=). That’s why in Cosplay makeups, eye makeups are the most important. 
The characters from comics and animations have a common feature – big eyes. Their eyes are much bigger than us in the real world. Let’s do a quick tutorial first.



Starting with a clean eye and wear your contacts. Normally I don’t suggest contacts bigger than Φ14mm because they might hurt your eyes. And then use concealer to lightly cover the brows. The fictional characters always have thin and beautiful brows. 
Remember using powder to set the tone after concealer layer. Now choose a color brow pencil – the color will depend on your character – to draw the brows. Please do not follow where your natural brow goes. Now it’s time to “reproduce” your eyes. Using eye shadow primer before everything starts. In case your face don’t look like a flat board, use some colors that we called them “the ground tone” – because they are brown colors that are two or three tone darker than your face, and look like the ground. 
You need to shade the nose bridge and darken the crease with ground tone color. This will create a deep sunken eyelid, which looks like the western people. That will make your face deeper. Please keep the eyeshadow in the shape of flat straight. 
Tapping on any bright color on the lids will emphasize your eyes. Now it’s time to line your eyes. You should slightly create a wing liner. Also line the bottom waterline half-way. If you want to make your eyes look bigger, you might use a white or skin tone pencil. If you want your eyes look strong and powerful, try a black liner pencil. The second last step is put on false lashes. Sometimes the false lashes will stretch your eyes and make you look great. 
Finally, depends on your character, use different colors of eye shadow to lightly dust along your bottom eyelid. 


That’s all for what I always do eye makeup for cosplay. I know you will always have a better idea. If you have seen other great tutorial, please feel free to write them done or paste the links below. I will be really appreciate.
