Cosplay Progress + Makeup Help

[seeds_of_chaos]

Welp, first off there were some changes. You know how I said I was going to cosplay Chapel? That got changed. Unfortunately, a friend of mine couldn't go :[[ But she gave me her blessings to be female Spock, so today i went wig and makeup shopping!

I'm still waiting on my ears/tricorder to come in the mail (the tricorder is gonna take a

Oooo, I like the two yellow hair ties idea~ I'll remember to do that.

I'm leaning towards cutting the bangs right now, but I'll see when I get the ears in.

...damn youuuu XD Gambit's been trying to train me in my Vulcan-ness.

AHHH.
_AHHHHHHHHHH_
This looks so great!!! I'd like to see the wig out of the ponytail, but it looks pretty good tied back. I would see if you can pull the hair in the front forward and trim it a la Spock and maybe put some hairspray on it so the bangs don't move around a whole lot.
For the eye shadow, I would see if you can get a white or smokey color so you can create more of a gradient by blending it in the crease of your eye lids; that way it looks less flat.
But it looks great so far!

Thankya! :D

Yeah, I'm leaning more toward trimming it right now, but I'm going to wait to get my ears in and see.

Derp question, but the creases being...?

When you open your eye, it's the fold of skin over your actual eyeball. Here's a lamesauce diagram I found: http://www.cosmeticscop.com/images/eyediagram.gif

D-Damn. Thank you so much!!

I'm leaning more toward cutting the bangs, since, like you said, they're incredibly iconic. I'll see when my ears get in though.

Where would I get the kind of brush you were talking about? Is there a way I could borrow any of the stuff you mentioned? (Sorry, I'm a cheapass and don't want to spend a lot of money, but if I need to, then don't worry about it :]).

No problem!

You can pick up a widetooth comb at Wal-Mart, Target, or any place that sells brushes and combs :D. Unfortunately, Anthony (my styrofoam head. Haha. Get it? Anthony Head? just_bolognese came up with that one.) has seen better days and is now a pile of Styrofoam rubble in a landfill somewhere. I need to get a replacement for him eventually. I have a special pair of scissors that I use for cutting fabric and wig hair, and you can borrow them if you take super-duper good care of them and if you return them to me by the end of the school year! And you're free to take one of my pins from me :D!

Thank you so much, Smitty! X3 I'll let you know when I need to borrow the wig scissors. :]

You are amazing. Thank you so much for all the help and feedback. <333 I really, really appreciate this.
