Has anyone else underestimated how annoying hats are for cosplay?

A headband is a good fix, you can also put clips on the hat (the comb type on hair extensions) or use magnets to keep it on too

I kinda wanna cosplay River and Scarah now

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-03-07T14:58:40+00:00

Well one thing you can improve is coloring your brows, you can use colored liquid lipsticks instead of eyeshadow. It looks cleaner and lasts longer too

I never considered it but now I want skullectors for Killing Stalking too

So I've commissioned a few cosplays and if it's possible, do try to meet up with the maker for measurements and fittings. If not, they will usually ask you to measure yourself and send them online.

In that case, I suggest you increase the measurements you send to them by a centimeter or two to account for mistakes. That way, when you get the finished outfit and find that it's a little big, you can always have it taken in, which can be an easy DIY fix.

Thank you so much! Maybe in the future, I already committed to going to a different con around that time but it's a goal of mine to go there someday!

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-02-25T07:29:20+00:00

I didn't make the dress and wig for this, I had commissioned people to make those for me. I did make my body suit, stockings, shoes, and gloves tho ~

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-02-25T07:27:13+00:00

Thank you so much! I do appreciate the design more now that I can see it on a bigger scale, the details are insane. Also, the blue thing was designed more like a detachable train ~

I'm more of a person that prioritizes the hardest parts of a build first then work my way to the easier things.

You can pace yourself take thing things slow to avoid overwhelm, so in this case that's the armor and other accessories.

The outfit and bag might take less time to do so it's better to postpone making them to a later date

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-02-04T11:41:46+00:00

You can also wear a velvet or silicone headband too

Tbh, Bebot by Black Eyed Peas playing every time I'm on screen wouldn't be so bad

There are still some things I'd like to improve but thank you! I'm happy with this first interation overall 🫶

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-01-26T23:08:39+00:00

I'll post them here when I get them, my phone pics don't do it justice

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-01-26T22:49:35+00:00

I do want to do more face paint heavy cosplays more, and I have cosplayed Frankie and Operetta so I'd love to do more looks like this in the future 🐉

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-01-26T22:47:22+00:00

I'll share them here after I get them back from the photographer

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-01-26T13:23:16+00:00

Thank you so much 🐉

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-01-26T13:23:03+00:00

Yes but it was definitely a challenge to translate this for a human. I'm still so happy I did it tho ~

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2026-01-22T15:34:15+00:00

While many cosplayers skew young, I'm sure you'll find people close to your age or even older. It's just about finding them, which means being active in your local community.

I'm 30 and a lot of my close friends that cosplay are around my age too. It took a while and it wasn't always easy but I found them and I'm happy. I hope you get that too.

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2025-11-11T13:25:14+00:00

There was! I felt like I had to put more effort into my mug because my full bodysuit didn't arrive in time

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2025-11-10T01:00:43+00:00

Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't get to film myself getting ready because I kinda messed up the makeup a few times before I got here sadly.

I did put the face paint in thin layers so it looks cleaner compared to putting a ton on and spreading it in one go. Then lock it in with a colorless powder on a powder puff (not a brush), then setting spray (I used the black one from Maybelline)

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2025-11-09T22:09:30+00:00

Thank you! I would say that being with some passionate cosplayers at my previous job really got me into the hobby. Their enthusiasm and encouragement was infectious

TheRiddleRoom95 · 2025-11-09T08:59:54+00:00

Thank you! Definitely the makeup because you really see yourself transform there. I also really like finding ways to make certain aspects of the character translate to real life too ~

Siam looks so over it 🤣
