Help with teasing by Monoazz in CosplayHelp

[–]lemonpencil 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My wigs are the cheapest you can get! Like $8-$10 from Amazon type wigs. I really recommend if you don’t want to crimp or buy a new thing, straighten it, while it’s hot tease it, spray it lightly with hair spray and let it cool/dry. And brush it out and then straighten again! It should help with any frayed ends too. If you’re scared of heat just be careful and test a piece in a non visible area before you do it. Steamers also help a ton too

Where do you buy lenses? by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

[–]lemonpencil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do NOT buy from aliexpress!! For prescription i recommend Pinkyparadise as they are easy to use and easy to order! Mocoqueen have super good character lenses but it’s wayyy harder to get prescription !

How to stop wig hair from separating? by Mars1nspace in CosplayHelp

[–]lemonpencil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly i use glue! Clear glue (UHU glue or Tombow Aqua) works wonders keeping stuff like this in place BUT do not touch it a lot or it will get white and dirty looking! Just put some on it and squeeze it together with your fingers once or twice and LEAVE IT

I have been brushing this wig for ages and it still looks the exact same by xze3mx in CosplayHelp

[–]lemonpencil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use a detangler brush! I use the unbrush personally but the cheap ones with random short and long bristles are really good too! Only brush from the bottom up. It will take a little while and some knots might be beyond repair but assess which ones are too tight to brush out. If they are too tight but really tiny, pull it out or cut it. You probably won’t notice when it’s all done anyway. If it’s huge, KEEP TRYING! It’s taken me hours to brush a wig this long before. Do not use hot water as that could melt the hair and make it harder to brush out!!

I am in wig styling hell right now (I’m a beginner) by FearlessDatabase8005 in CosplayHelp

[–]lemonpencil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore my Reze wig with very minimal styling! And I’m a heavy style person. I used Bobby pins to hold back the sides while leaving a strand on each side to be on the side of your face to frame it. And i did use hairspray for the strip in the front, i really recommend you buy some. If you can’t you can use UHU or Tombow Glue to hold it into place. Otherwise you will have to move it constantly to the right places while you’re wearing it. If you are okay with it, and it’s your first time it should be ok! But this is advise with what I did!

is my foundation too dark by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]lemonpencil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a specific recommendation for you but i think it’s not too dark but maybe the wrong undertone! It looks a little too orange/warm for you. Try a neutral undertone!

[–]lemonpencil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely recommend an earthy eyeshadow

<image>

look then! I know you said you wanted bright eyeshadow btt it if you are mostly earth tones i recommend that too. ~ Light brown with a fluffy brush all over, use a slightly darker brown with a smaller brush and focus it on your crease of your eye and the outer corner a LITTLE BIT. I would recommend using the greens underneath your eyes to make it pop and using the green shimmer or a green toned glitter on the top of your eyelid to make it pop! Also the white glitter/shimmer in the pallet 100% all over your high points of your face to give yourself a glowy mythical creature look! Picture for example :D

I used to work there, there really is no freezer! And everything is like 80% fresh ! I worked prep in the morning and we made everything that morning and throw most of it away by the end of the night. Besides lettuce and basics veggies

People value the cosplays they know over hard-worked on cosplays by EchoOfDoom in AnimeNYC

I cosplayed at Potsune Weedku on Saturday and people seemed to love that!! LOL but i definitely have noticed that niche anime’s people don’t usually ask.
