You're a really great cosplayer!

Thank you for this tutorial.

@OneHellOfAFangirl Aww! >w< Thank you. And no worries - I hope what I'm waffling about is somewhat useful.

[OneHellOfAFangirl]

[Sakuranightcore]

I would like to do Sakura haruno as my character but idk how to apply the make up for it... Can u please help me?

[Purplerayne06231]

Awesome awesome awesome video!

I actually wanted to start cosplaying (Bayonetta if you were wondering), but the thought process or putting on the makeup and wig made me a bit nervous.

But you gave me some good tips! Thank you!

[Blueberrylover11]

Absolutely wonderful!!! Probably one of the best on youtube or let out at all!! :D

[kittie053194]

NEVER NEVER NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS TO APPLY MAKEUP!!!!!!!

@blacksatin34

Anytime! :)

[KickingItKiera]

You are fantastic and I get wait to get started transforming my face into an anime one =D Thank you so much <3

[LMPianoPlayer]

@blacksatin34

Mmmmm... I don't think you really need false lashes if you already have long lashes! Just be sure that you seperate the lashes very well :) (trust me I have LONGGGGGG Lashes, ladies at the make-up department freak out and call over there friends to look at my eyes and eyelashes lol.) But I would recommend you to use false lashes if you can clearly see that the character has crazy looking lashes that would call for using false lashes. Ex. if a character had feathers for lashes lol

[PhoenixBeam]

You're super funny xD it was really useful, thanks! My first cosplay convention is coming up in two days so I wanted to get some last minute pointers! Thanks :D

[Afish244]

[yokouchiha9]

[IIChobitsII]

Th-the HD fountain link won't work for me. >.< lol, i love your tutorial, you just so pretty.

[zachXbellXrox]

Sounds like someone is a nerdfighter. DFTBA! :)

[aurellion]

@MaraFirebird You're welcome! :3 It changes all the time- I think here it was Schwartzkoph "Red Passion".

[Darkangelmmortalwin]

you're adorable.

my gosh, I couldn't stop smiling when you were talking, you're very animated which made you fun to watch

[MaraFirebird]

I'm absolutley terrible when it comes to makeup anyway so this is going to be rediculously helpful when cosplaying, especially the eybrow colouring. Thanks for tutoring us and do you mind me asking what colour you perhaps use for your hair XD?

[Raku]

Cosplayers are performers without a college degree for what they do. I respect the cosplayers who take their time and money to do what they do.

[ZeXMouse]

That is so true about wigs and cosplay. I've had my eyes on this good quality Organization XIII coat for a while, and I saw they said it was free shipping. I went back and added the shipping price with the coat price on another sale and it was actually cheaper. :x Funny how they catch you on some things.

[jayveeka]

CLAMP! <3 Thanks so much for the tutorial - verily handy. :D

[HiroProtagnist]

I love how when I talk to you IRL I always pick up traces of your English accent, and in here I really pick up the Kiwi in you!

So informative, you have no idea. It's always great to have someone who can explain everything so clearly. Incredible!

[aurellion]

@HiroProtagnist It's a Selmonella! Glad exams haven't eaten you completely. :D

Thank you - I'm glad you've found it useful! :3

[KyonKun0993]

I love the way you explain things~ and youre very pretty too. I was wondering if you could do a cosplay make-up tutorial for guys, please, I'm a boy and I know nothing about make-up TTwTT and you seem to have a very whide knoledge about cosplay~~

[aurellion]

@KyonKun0993 Thank you! I've never done make-up for guys, but I'd suggest to basically follow what I've said here - except skip the fake lashes, and definitely have no blush or lipstick. Focus on a good foundation and a bit of eyeliner- maybe try some bronzer to contour your cheekbones to get a more 'chiseled' and 'manly' face. I hope that's useful - good luck with your cosplay endeavors! :)

[KyonKun0993]

@aurellion Thank you very much~ I'll try and see how it comes out :D you're amazing!

I'm so looking forward to your videos~

[arterialshadow]

@aurellion Hey, you say to try bronzer to contour the cheekbones? (for guys that is) Can you explain how to do so :3?

[RandomEmail2008]

Thanks for the tips! <3 Your light humour is very refreshing, heh.

OH and looove your room (yes the one in the video haha).

[DowncastEye]

Love the fantastic wig hair. It's almost as fluffy as mine ^^

[Narishia]

Like for the FANTASTIC wig hair 

[plushieluff]

Nawww at the end with the cat waving, so cute! :)

Any tips on how to go about asking for samples? Personally feels weird/suspicious to me to ask straight up, or to ask at all (the make-up ladies I usually come across don't seem that friendly. :S). -unsure- ^^''

[aurellion]

@plushieluff Sorry I took so long to reply to this! I often get my samples online, rather than talking to the sometimes snooty make-up ladies: my advice though is to either take the cheeky approach and ask straight out for a sample with a grin, or take the "I'm-really-not-sure" approach, um and ahh a lot about buying a product once you've tested it out there: still say you're unsure and ask if getting a sample is possible so you could confirm your decision later on & pop back in to buy it.

[plushieluff]

@aurellion You can get samples online? -was not aware- *.*

Thanks though, the second idea sounds like a pretty good plan. :P
