MAKEUP PRODUCTS

I’ll be sharing the makeup products I use for cosplay. Some are on the pricier side— if you’re looking for alternatives or certain products that would compliment certain characters, feel free to contact me.

FOUNDATION (CUSHION)

For my base, I use the YSL cushion foundation in shade 25. It’s lightweight but gives good coverage, making it ideal for long days at conventions. I always keep it with me to fix any makeup between shoots or touch-ups throughout the day.

FOUNDATION

This is another foundation I use— Armani’s Power Fabric Foundation in shade 5. Since it’s not a cushion, it’s less convenient to bring along. If you use this, I recommend applying it at home and carrying Armani’s cushion foundation for easier touch-ups while you’re out.

POWDER

I use Canmake’s Marshmallow Finishing Powder in shade MO to set my makeup towards the end of my routine. It offers full coverage and helps everything stay in place throughout the day. I highly recommend it.

CONTOUR (LIQUID)

For contour and highlight, I use Judydoll’s Liquid Contour in the cool tone (#01) after i'm done with my base (Concealer & Foundation). It’s subtle but adds just the right amount of shadow. I layer it first and follow up with a contour palette for more definition.

CONTOUR (POWDER)

I use Judydoll’s upgraded contour palette in #04 for contouring and highlighting. The silver highlight is one of my favorites, it adds a beautiful shimmer without being overwhelming. The highlighting powder also performs exceptionally well, allowing for precise application in the areas I want to focus attention on. The combination creates a well defined look that complements the overall makeup look.

CONCEALER

For concealer, I use LUNA's Concealer in shade 01 Vanilla. It has great longevity and provides excellent coverage. I find it pairs especially well with Armani’s Power Fabric Foundation, creating a flawless finish that lasts throughout the day.

EYESHADOW PALETTE

For eyeshadow, I use Revolution's Maxi Reloaded Palette. Cosplay makeup often requires a variety of unusual colors, so I appreciate this palette for its wide range of shades. It allows me to get creative and match the vibrant looks of my characters effortlessly.

EYELINER

I recommend using Judydoll’s eyeliner for its incredibly thin tip. It’s perfect for drawing my own bottom lashes, as I need that precision for fine details. I typically start with a lighter shade to outline or draft the shape of my eyeliner, then I use the black to line and fill it for it to be more defined.

BLUSH & HIGHLIGHT

I also really like the combination of Rouge Blush Colour & Glow in the shde 287 Dioramour. It provides a subtle blush that adds a nice flush to my cheeks, while the purple highlights complement certain characters beautifully (like Kangel or Megurine Luka in my opinion). The cool-toned finish from the purple highlight enhances the overall look, giving it a unique and flattering touch.

GLITTER & HIGHLIGHT

I also really like Perfect Diary's Stardust Diamond Highlighter Powder in shade 01. It has a translucent shine that adds a subtle sparkle, making it perfect for use on my inner corners and beneath my eyes. It helps brighten up my look while adding a touch of appeal.

LIP LINER

Before I apply lip gloss, lipstick, or lip tint, I like to line my lips with Romand’s Blurring Lipliner in shade 02. This lipliner helps soften the edges of my lips, creating a blurred effect rather than a sharp line. It gives my lips a more subtle and natural look, which I really like.

CONCEALER

I also use Romand's Water Gloss in the shade Meteor Rack 00. Once I’ve finished designing my lips (especially for characters with unique lip shapes, like Kinako’s cat-like lips) I top it off with this gloss. Its translucent formula ensures that it won’t alter the colors I've applied beneath, and it also has a lightweight feel to it.

LIP TINT

The lip tint I’m currently using most often is Romand’s Juicy Lasting Tint in shade #33 Bare Vine. It’s not sticky at all and provides a nice shine, which is really helpful since wigs can sometimes get in your face.

COMPACT POWDER

Sometimes it can get really hot during conventions, which can cause your makeup to wear off due to oil. I use Canmake's Secret Beauty Powder (I use the shade #02) to avoid this. It’s compact and super convenient to carry around, making it easy to touch up throughout the day. (I’ve probably gone through more than ten of these I swear.)

BLUSH

I really enjoy Flower Know's blush, especially for its design and pigment. I often use pinkish shade G02, which is perfect for characters like Kangel who require a more vibrant blush.
