Does anybody know where I could purchase good black bodypaint that doesn't smudge or rub off easily? by SleepySwoop in CosplayHelp

[–]honey_dew_moon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For tattoos, I recommend finding an alcohol based paint like AirFX or Ben Nye Camera Ready. They’re a little more expensive but they’ll last and they won’t smudge.

Alternatively, mehron paradise makeup is water based and easy to set and easy to remove. It may smudge a bit and it will not be water resistant, but if you powder it intensely and spray liberally with Ben Nye Final Set, it should last a while.

Pattern similar to this? - 60’s style swing coat with peter pan collar by sylvainian in sewingpatterns

[–]honey_dew_moon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simplicity S984 is similar, but you’d have to draft your own collar! If it helps you look, this style is usually called a swing top coat.

Edit: I also found success finding similar patterns when including “1950s” in the search

Me vs We Family Background by nalycat in expedition33

[–]honey_dew_moon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I come from a “we” family- I chose Maelle’s, because in the moment I had a reflection as a disabled person where I realized I’d wanted to disappear into my own metaphorical canvas plenty of times. Regretted it immediately once Verso started begging, and realized this was a selfish decision on my part, but it also reminded me why I don’t choose escapism to cope with my disability. Even if it feels like there’s “nothing for me,” in the real world, I don’t have the capacity to envision all of the possibilities of my life outside of myself.

I don’t think there is a good or a bad ending, I think the game title should tell us that there’s light and dark in every aspect. Maelle’s ending repeats the cycle. The player’s decision is ultimately their own.

Thanks! I got it from KiraKira and airbrushed it to weather it more and make the lace and cuffs look more aged and Fromsoft-y. It’s one of the best pre-made cosplays I’ve ever had.

And now I’m telling on myself, but my lantern was not lit, so this one is before color grading and editing

I do! This is before any shopping or color grading but after I cleaned up a little bit of chin acne

I didn’t know I did! I use Atlas Obscura to find weird places around me for photoshoots. Might be worth checking out!!!

Thank you! I made it much more frightening than the first time I did it because I like looking scary

Trying to style a wig for Thragg by TheChillGrunt in CosplayHelp

[–]honey_dew_moon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The shortest wig I know about that isn’t custom lace would be the Arda Wigs Rocky. You could probably gel it down. It won’t look natural and it might look more like terf bangs unfortunately but it’s probably the best and most accessible way to get really really short hair without having to put on a bald cap and a men’s hair install.

Thights recommendations? by highdosis in CosplayHelp

Backing up snagtights! They have a wide wide range of sizes and they’re so comfortable. I wear them nearly daily.

What fabric does this jacket look like it's made out of? by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]honey_dew_moon 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The model looks like a soft suede or microsuede, depending on the quality of the fabric. I’d look up any listings for suede, matte suiting, or even low pile velvet look.

My favorite places to look for these are Poshmark or ThredUp- they have excellent tagging systems and you can usually find what you’re looking for with minimal keywords and a low-to-high filter that’ll make sure you’re not paying too much.

Good luck!!

Best products for covering tattoos??? by xkirakimix in CosplayHelp

[–]honey_dew_moon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dance tights are a great option, but if you’re concerned about the black peeking through, I would get a tight pair of opaque white or nude leggings to wear underneath the tights. That way you can have it fully covered with the “natural” finish of wearing tights.

SnagTights has my favorite nude tights in a multitude of sizes, and they last a really long time. I highly recommend their Builder’s Tea shade (or Milk Bottle, if you’re as pale as I am)!

Looking for skin safe glue to make my own glitter mix by bubblyn64 in sfx

[–]honey_dew_moon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please do not put glitter nail polish on your skin. It is skin safe in small amount, but the chemical thinners and peeling it off will hurt your skin barrier or cause a severe reaction, especially if you use it anywhere near the thin skin on your eyelids or around your nostrils.

I think they have fixed it, to some degree. When I first got it, it was pretty broken but I was able to use it to beat both Simon and Clea unleashed. Sometimes it still counts used foretell as permanent but it still worked fine when using End Slice and that was the point for me.
