To make-up or not to make-up?

[Wind_Squid]

make up might make you look better. but not to make-up looks makes you look confident and original?
so yeah, what do you think?

I pick not make up, because i want people to see the original of me. but i will use make up at an important time like wedding, party, etc

Since this is a Cosplay Sub-Forum, OF COURSE you MUST apply Makeup when Cosplaying, even if it's just Press Powder.
Very few people have Flawless Skin, so by at least applying basic Makeup, you can prevent looking "shiny" in Photos or in person, and look more presentable.


Then again, only Cosplayers will know this; people who dun cosplay will not understand. "

I don't get it, if you're talking about normal make up then this thread should be in Fashion not here on Cosplay. I don't wear any makeup in normal life beside sometimes a little mascara or an eye liner not because I don't like makeup or want to be original but because I don't really know how to apply a good make up. As for Cosplay if you want to look like a certain character makeup is a major tool to look closely like that character whether you re a guy or a girl and that's why I voted Makeup

Every day life, I don't use much makeup. I got two screaming twins so I don't always have time to do much or anything at all. For cosplaying, I like to use a bit of pressed mineral powder to help block sunburn and to help make my face less shiny in pictures. It's also useful when adding beauty marks or helping add a stronger brow. I even use things such as glue and eye shadow for changing my eyebrow color.

When I was in like 8th grade I wore a ton of make up. As I got older I wore less and now I'm in my twenties and I don't wear any at all. Some people look great with makeup and some people look great without it all depends on the individual person. I'd say that if you like wearing makeup then wear it and if you don't then don't wear it. I just don't like putting it on or wearing it at all. I'm married and my husband thinks it's ridiculous that any girls have to wear makeup to think they are pretty because your just putting a bunch of crud and colors on your face to hide behind a mask.Just think of it this way: The guys that only hit on you when you wear makeup are probably the jerks anyways. The sweet boys are the ones that love you no matter what.

I don't use make-up when I'm not cosplaying. I prefer going natural... even if I don't look so good. Make-up isn't really good for your skin.

When I cosplay though, I have no choice but to use make-up. I actually don't know any cosplayers who doesn't use make-up in one way or the other.

any make up service for cosplay?
