Hello every one I am wondering who do I look like? I am the girl with the blonde hair and red jacket

[Lupe Garu]

Un-straightened hair (lets pretend I'm not pretending to be a unicorn)
I'm 5'7" have hazel eyes and pale skin. And I'm also pretty scrawny... My hair is straightened most of the time but naturally it is wavy. I do wear glasses but have the option of non-colored contacts.

[ROXASAURUS]

I love your hair! I'm thinking Fujisaki Nagihiko (or Nadeshiko, if crossplaying isn't your thing) from the anime Shugo Chara. (Nadeshiko and Nagihiko are the same person, but Nadeshiko is just Nagihiko's female persona). If the hair color bothers you but you don't want a wig, I suggest temporarily dyeing it. I used some cheap spray on, wash out hair color from a costume store (Caribbean Blue and Midnight Black together), but for a closer match, a more extensive palette, and overall better results, Manic Panic, which can be found at many beauty supply stores, cosplay shops, and most Hot Topic locations, is a better choice. My more experienced cosplay friends highly recommend it, but it does take a bit longer to wash out, so time its use carefully! If you're looking for a simpler cosplay, you should dress in the Seiyo Academy uniform (red for Nadeshiko, blue for Nagihiko) with or without their respective Guardian capes and Character Change symbols), but if you want something more complicated (and fun!) you might want to try his Character Transformations Beat Jumper (male persona) or Yamato Maihime (female persona). You mentioned self-consciousness about your stomach, so Beat Jumper's baggy clothing could be a little more comfortable. Also, Yamato Maihime's trailing sleeves and ribbons may make navigating a con a bit more difficult. I also suggest using some basic foundation and powder to lighten your skin tone. I hope this helps!

This isn't the best picture, but it'll work, haha.

I'm doing a C.C. costume from Code Geass now, and I'm thinking on a Yuna, Zelda, and Belle costume. Any other ideas?

Hello @o0cherrybeary0o!
Because I am also quite the petite gal as well (5ft, 32/25/33 and also chinese hehe) I have some relevant cosplay ideas to share!

Here are some characters that I think could work in short notice:
1. Chihiro- Spirited Away
2. Kiki- Kiki's Delivery Service
3. Sheeta- Laputa: Castle in the Sky
3.Chika Ogiue- Genshiken
4.Tsukimi Kurashita-Kuragehime

Ghibli characters are of course well known and pretty popular and their costume are usually not very elaborate so if you are planning to make it, it shouldn't be that difficult. The characters from Genshiken and Kuragehime are ones on my list that should fit your criteria. Hope it helps!

[StabbityBlkMage]

I just recently took a leap of faith and bleached my hair, and realized I could actually NOT look dumb as a blonde.

I was wondering if people think I would need to do skin lightening makeup or just stick with basic makeup? My skin tone seems to lighten with the blonde. Thanks!

His name is Liberta from La storia della Arcana Famiglia.

[PepperPerry]

Okay so I am looking for something to do on day one of SunnyCon and just a better suited costume to me. PLEASE HELP ME



EXTRA INFO

about 5''3,
Just over shoulder length darker brown hair, about boob length. xD
smallish bust.
Thin waist
Crossplay is totally fine
I'm not keen on wigs but I will if I have to
Can't wear contacts :-(

Please suggest anything you think would be right for me

[LunaFisto]

StabbityBlkMage: Personally, I do not think you need lighting makeup. Just use basic makeup and you should be fine. And your gusty move was a good one. You look really good with blonde hair! Even though the character you want to cosplay has slightly lighter skin (I say sightly because the reference pic looks like a light is shined on them and your real life pic looks like it was took without a professional lighting) You should be perfectly fine. Plus the cosplay will bring out the character.

I would PM you this but it doesn't seem to work. Hope you check back to this forum. XD
