MALE CHARACTER MAKE UP TUTORIAL.
MAKE UP TUTORIAL FOR COSPLAYING MALE CHARACTERS:
(my method la ;x)
Items i used :
1:Matte eyeshadow palette
2:Liquid concealer from daiso(rather good coverage @ 2 bucks)
3:make up sponges from daiso(comes in a pack:P)
4: Majorlica Majorca Liquid eyeliner in black
5:Beauty spatula from daiso
6:Pore Putty clear make up base
7:Lip balm( this one's really good, can be bought from watsons @ 5.90SGD, Mojitate smth?)
8:UHU glue stic(not recommended, should get cheaper ones)
9:Candy doll lip concealer(really good , but ex, might want to consider buying other types)
10: Base foundation from daiso in BLUE( brightens your skin tone, worth it!)
Contour palette:
1&4 are two different shades of highlighters
2&5 are 2 different shades of foundation(not really good..)
3&6 are different shades of bronzers( useful )
Concealer brush, good for blending
Angled brush( i think), to draw the eyebrows on.
STEPS:
Step 1: Clean or cleanse your face
Step 2: Apply lotion on your face to keep it moisturised.
Step 3: make up base all over face
Step 4: Conceal eyebrows using this
MethodThis picture shows the difference in using the method above or by just applying concealer
the eyebrow on the left has been concealed using the method stated above
while the eyebrow on the right has been concealed just by applying concealer
HOWEVER, it'll be difficult to conceal your eyebrows just by applying concealer unless your eyebrows are really thin...
Step 5:apply base foundation evenly on face and neck using make up wedge or sponge
Step 6: apply foundation evenly on face and neck, and blend with the concealed eyebrow.
Step 7:
DO contouring using a brush
the red area represents the places you should apply bronzer on,
as this helps to make your nose look sharper, face look thinner, and eyes to look more deeply set
the blue area represents the places you should apply highlighter on as it will look higher as compared to the other parts of your face.
Step 8:
apply eyeliner on the upper lid in a straight line as most male characters have straight and sharp eyes,
then apply a thin line on the bottom lid.
Step 9:
(this was done last minute, so there was a colour difference lolol)
Use a colour that matches or is similiar to your wig colour
Use the angled brush to draw the coloured brows in a slightly upward motion, with a sharp end
(yes i know the concealed brow is obvious.. that's because for this one i didnt apply foundation and blend it in)
Step 10:
Apply lip concealer.
the one im using is VERY concentrated so this is how you apply it.
after spreading it evenly with your fingers, use your finger to take some loose powder or foundation and lightly dap on your lips to create this matte finish:
And tadaa you're done . LOL
Hope this tutorial has helped some of you... though this was done hastily..
I might do a video tutorial in the future :3 thanks for viewing!

MAIN POINT OF TODAY'S POST:TROLLS
Okay, so what/who are trolls? and i shall not actually try to increase to risk of me getting trolled upon, so here's
wiki's definition:
In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory,extraneous,or off-topic messages in an online community,such as an online discussion forum,chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.Now now, do you really agree that trolls are always bad?
I don't. well , for me, i
don't really chance upon trolls that disrupt on-topic discussion, which only leaves, inflammatory messages. I feel that trolls are not necessarily bad.. because sometimes, there are these
noobs that don't actually do some research before posting
unnecessary stuff, and well, trolls are the ones that get rid of them.
So, in a good way, they get rid of these nuisances. In a bad way, more than in the good, they hurt these people's feelings.
And so, to the main point, why did i even mention this?
Its because of this. NAH THEY AREN'T TROLLS. they're the ones who are
targeted by these trolls.okay, refer to
http://forums.sgcafe.com/complaints/93616-please-tone-down-better-stop-free-hugs-bullshit.html .
Invinc: Please Tone Down or Better. STOP the Free Hugs Bullshit?
Invinc :It's getting lame.
Every event we have people running around with a big sign giving away free hugs. Free hugs for the sake of free hugs.
Countless times, it's always the same kind of people doing it, with the same lack of reason or purposeful goodwill.
Please, attention seekers, please stop.
It screams "Attention Seeker".
It's pathetic.
Context information( before you jump to conclusions..)
This post was posted on sgcafe right after/during sakura fest, and it was posted in the complaints section of sgcafe, so yes, the post itself is not wrong, SINCE its the complaints section.
Okay to clarify, the people in the photo above, are actually my friends, but that doesn't mean i'm doing this to like, stand up for them, its more of like, its plain ridiculous. lack of reason or purposeful goodwill? oh wow you can read minds. quit your job or studies and go be a mind reader , earn big bucks and enjoy life.Hugs= lame? Yeah, people running around with a big sign giving free hugs, doesn't that show goodwill? ( OKAY unless they touch you with the purpose of molesting, then thats another thing), and isn't it great to know that within people who DO NOT actually even have a teeny bit of goodwill, there are actually some kind souls, who are willing to hug strangers you know.
what caugh my attention the most was.... ATTENTION SEEKERS?Hello? cosplaying itself is attracting attention, quit cosplay then tell me that. so like what? those people with flag day tins trying to collect money or even those people who give out flyers with banners on them= attention seekers=Pathetic?.
*as much as YOU aren't willing to hug strangers, most people wouldn't even want to hug a stranger like YOU-
*.( especially if you're like some freaky person who really looks like the troll face picture above.). which then brings me to this point. WHY DO YOU EVEN BOTHER POSTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS ON A FORUM? . Yes i'm aware its the complaints section, but ask yourself this question, is it really necessary? Or are you just trying to gain recognition and approval?. With that said, i do know that the society in singapore isn't really that open ( try walking in a bright wig for a day and count how many weird stares you get, you'll understand). and i do know that in these people's opinions, they might think that these people holding these free hugs banners might cause the society to NOT accept cosplay , but then, refer to the above
* again... Sigh, which then brings me to this point my friend mentioned. Why do singaporeans complain so much? so like forums are actually encouraging complaints? Different people have different opinions and so these complains would definitely spark into arguments in a matter of time, especially when its on a forum.
And as much as there are people who dislike this, there will be people who like this.
BUT, what that really ticked me off about this isn't about this .
BUT why the person who's actually *shooting* these people is actually their friend.
If you're that unhappy about this free hugs thing, go to their faces, or whatever and tell them directly that you don't really like it, and of course, provide reasonable reasons, and not just something like :" I don't like it because its annoying" YEAH WHY ISIT ANNOYING HUH? and you expect people to understand. and here comes the worst part...
THESE trolls actually post hurtful stuff about the free hugs group, like, really hurtful stuff, on the NET, on FORUMS, yes, for everyoneee to seee and probably approve of.
lets imagine this situation:
-troll at home-.
*with a troll face *: -spam types hurtful stuff on their keyboard to express their unhappiness-
-troll in real life-
*sees their troll targets whom he/she says he/she doesnt like on forums*-says hi with an angelic smile and talks like CLOSE FRIENDS-.
OH MY GOSH. seriously, you're so fake, everybody could see through.
Nownow, i personally think i would be a good troll if i wanted to be one. But nah, i've got no interest in gaining approval of whatever i think/do , and hurting people in the process.
Besides, if i were their friend, i'll tell them the truth, face to face, about how i feel instead of posting in some petty complaints section to gain recognition.
Like, can you imagine what trolling might cause?
It might cause a person to suffer from depression you know, especially when these type of trolling causes many cosplayers to dislike another cosplayer in the ALREADY SMALL cosplay community in Singapore.
And then they can only see that one part of you.
For example, Person Z was flamed on the forums because he and his group made too much noise during an event. the online community contributes to this discussion and concludes that that bunch are just an inconsiderate bunch.So now, the rest of the cosplay community avoids communicating with that bunch, EVEN AFTER THAT BUNCH HAVE realised their mistake and changed, causing these people to either quit cosplay or whatever. basically, the point im trying to make is, opinions cant be changed easily.
You won't like everything everybody does.Not everybody would like everything you do either. So get a life,
stop making other's lives miserable. Treat others the same way you want to be treated, Not everybody is perfect. Just like how one day you might make a mistake and unfortunately, get caught by a troll.
HEHE. cos testing as a guy!!. do i look cool? :3.
well. anyway , next time i would be posting about the make up i have used to attain this look~~ :) ~ k until then! goanna nom nom on my dinner :)
