Hey guys :3

If anyone is looking for lipstick for cosplay or anything you should try Kaoir!

It comes in so many different colors and its so vibrant and long lasting. They have the perfect Vriska and Kanaya color !

Also they DON’T test on animals~!

Oh wow I have been looking for coloured lipstick for long time that isn’t cheap halloween stuff that runs off your face after 10 minutes. I’m going to have to buy the blue and white to test it out.

Urgh I have been eyeing this for Vriska

Not to mention it’s not Lime Crime and has a good reputation. c:

How to take your wig from gross to great!

This isn’t a new method at all, but instead my results using this tutorial.

While the before shot is pretty terrible photo quality to begin with, you can see the wig is basically a ratty, gross-looking mess.

Find a tank or bucket and empty a capful of fabric softener into it (more softener if your wig is longer).

Add enough water to submerge the wig, and make sure to flip it inside out before you put it in the water. Swish it around to make sure it’s saturated, and then let it soak for a few days. I left mine is for a little over two days, but I would suggest leaving it in closer for the five days the original tutorial suggests.

Lay the wig out on a towel to dry. I didn’t wash out the fabric softener, and when it was damp instead of dripping, I put it on a wig stand.

After it’s completely dry, brush through it with a wig brush, or at least a brush with wire teeth. Plastic teeth will create static and no one wants that.

If you need a wig brush, try checking out beauty stores. Failing that, you can usually find wire brushes at pet stores, and they work as well as any wig brush.

Spray lightly with dry shampoo or sprinkle with talcum powder. Brush your wig again after a few minutes to help disperse the powder and keep your wig from looking chalky. You may experience a small amount of shedding during the brushing process, but it shouldn’t be anything too severe.

And there you have it!

This is on of my absolute favorite tutorials, and I can’t believe I haven’t posted this yet… I’ve used this method hundreds of times (okay, maybe 3-4), but it works flawlessly every time.

This method creates beautiful armor pieces on the cheap, but they still look amazing. This is one of those cosplay-life-changers!

eridans-gaybies: Cheap Gray Skin Tutorial Hey guys. So, I’m...

Cheap Gray Skin Tutorial

Hey guys. So, I’m planning a cosplay, specifically a troll cosplay, and for that I want gray make-up for my skin. But I’m really cheap with these things, so instead of buying expensive ben nye products and the like, I decided to be a cheap-ass kinda person, and found a replacement.

Basically, buy some cheap liquid foundation, nothing too dark, preferably a light one. Doesn’t matter if it matches your skin tone. The foundation I used for this was $5.

Next, buy some cheap gray eyeshadow. Dark gray if you want dark gray skin, and light gray if you want light gray skin. Pretty simple, am I right?

Depending on how much skin you’re covering, you may want to buy two, especially if you’re planning on arms and face. I only need to cover some leg and my face in this shit, so I only use one of each.

Now, put a squirt or two of foundation into a container. Now, using a Q-Tip or something of the sort, dig some eyeshadow into the container with the foundation. Mix it. Alternatively, if you want to mix all that you think you’ll need at once, you can do that too with appropriate amounts.

Now, simply take a cotton pad or q-tip or whatever works for you, and simply spread it evenly over your skin.

Now, mine didn’t rub off unless I was rubbing it persistently, and even then, it only came off slightly on the piece of cloth i was using. But, seal it with baby powder or actual sealer, I’d say better safe than sorry. Don’t want any angry cosplayers chasing you with gray smudges on their outfits.

Note that you shouldn’t put in so much eyeshadow that it matches the colour you want on your arms or face or whatever. The mixture should be a bit lighter and possibly even have a slight tint of the foundation. Once it dries, it will also be slightly darker. I would advise experimenting with little amounts before the actual day where you are doing your cosplay.

In conclusion, its like ten bucks, leaves little to no smudges but should be sealed anyway, is nice when mixed and ratioed correctly, and is just a real good alternative. Shit can be used for any cosplay even outside the homestuck fandom- want pink skin? Just use pink eyeshadow. Pretty simple.

Thanks, and happy cosplaying.

- Having sex every day.
- Saving sex for your wedding night.
- Never having sex.
- Having sex with different people.
- Having sex with one person.
- Having sex with a person of your same gender.
- Loving sex.
- Hating sex.
- Being loud.
- Being quiet.

The only thing wrong with sex?

When it’s not consensual.

Because that’s not sex. That’s rape.

Reblogging again because this post is so important.

THE PROMISED GIVEAWAY BEGINS!!!!

I’ve been planning this giveaway forever so I suppose it’s time to stop putting it off. This giveaway is PICK YOUR PRIZE. Your choices?

Your very own vibrator, with your choice of make (as in what body part you want it for- men and women both!) Color choice might be limited, but I’ll definitely let you pick. The package will arrive discretely in a plain brown box so don’t worry about roommates or parents.

One of my Homestuck Teeshirt designs, OR a free commission for a new design (any character/concept you want) plus the teeshirt itself when its finished! Both in any style/color/size you desire.

Alternatively you can choose a teeshirt from Topatoco.

What are the rules for this giveaway you ask? Check it:

Like and reblogs both count because I know some of you will be shy about reblogging a giveaway that involves sexual objects.

You must be following me, I’m sorry! Them’s the breaks.

The winner will be chosen with a random number generator at the end of the month!

Keep in mind that only one reblog will show up in the note container as per Tumblr’s new set up.

I’ll ship to wherever you are! So long as you aren’t Jade Harley.

There you go, kids! You have until January 31st at midnight PST and I’ll choose a winner! Good luck!

And THANK YOU!!!!!
