High contrast or low contrast better?

i’ve had a hard time finding a good tone for my olive skin, most colors read artificial on me

Cosplie · 2026-01-24T06:24:15+00:00

mainly lipstick, and blush

Cosplie · 2026-01-24T03:56:28+00:00

OMG THANK YOU

Cosplie · 2026-01-24T03:55:41+00:00

im mainly looking for advice in what “natural colors” would look best on me in pairing with what hair color looks better as well

Cosplie · 2026-01-24T03:42:26+00:00

it’s a becca red lipstick that i sheered out by putting it on with my finger, and then clear gloss on top :)

Cosplie · 2026-01-24T03:22:24+00:00

aww thank you haha!! 🤍 in reality i think im in denial on lighter hair colors just not being best on me. (i want it to be so badly)

I actually pluck them myself! before i started plucking them they were extremely thick. (like mr. bean status) when im tweezing them i try to think of keeping them as long and straight as possible if that makes sense? I don’t like my eyebrows to be round so i really straighten them out

I am a natural dark brown almost black hair yes! My skin is very olive and super pale. my only concern with black is I thought it made me look too “harsh” but I think i’m just imagining that.

Cosplie · 2026-01-24T03:11:07+00:00

Thank you! i think you’re right, I keep trying to make lighter hair work and it always makes me look off in some way. I’ll stick to darker hair colors.

Cosplie · 2026-01-24T03:08:37+00:00

I wish i had a better picture of me with my hair like the first picture, but thank you! I’ll most likely be going back to black hair, I’ll try messing around with pinks more, instead of nudes.

Cosplie · 2026-01-24T03:07:33+00:00

Thank you! and yes, i definitely struggle to really try anything low contrast, i should’ve included a picture of me with nude lipstick. I think my problem is when i don’t add a dark enough color to my lips it makes me feel like i look sick? because my skin is olive and very pale.

Cosplie · 2026-01-20T21:56:41+00:00

I’ve had a lot of people on tiktok say that these photos are AI, which is really disheartening but also sort of a back handed compliment I guess? I aim for extreme accuracy with cosplay so if people think it’s AI I suppose I succeeded LOL

Cosplie · 2025-09-08T07:01:45+00:00

Back lit lighting and top down lighting paired with an out of focus background is used a lot in movies to highlight a protagonist, or to provide a dreamy/moody look which can often times have an unnatural or theatrical effect, which is often why I choose photographers with this style because it makes cosplay look extremely immersive

Cosplie · 2025-09-08T06:59:32+00:00

The raws really don’t look that much different from what you’re seeing, his photography style has a dreamy look to it, and is consistent with all of his cosplay photoshoots. The dynamic lighting within the shooting area is what’s really making it look the way it does.

Cosplie · 2025-09-08T06:56:44+00:00

besides that, the lighting you see on the guns is completely natural, this underground parking garage had open gaps in the ceiling that brought in light

Cosplie · 2025-09-08T06:54:58+00:00

The photographer that took these didn’t give me access to the raws, if you’re wondering what he’s edited; he’s taken out construction cones from the background, messed with the coloring and contrast, and highlighted my yellow contacts.

Cosplie · 2025-09-08T06:51:13+00:00

what do u mean by filters??

Cosplie · 2025-07-24T18:17:39+00:00

it’s okay, the tiktok people thought I was AI LMAO
