However I rarely wear make up and when I go it's usually just a bit of eye liner. So It would be greatly appreciated if someone could give me some advice ^^ Also Wing harness I have an idea of how I like to make it, but I'm not sure it will work. So I'd like to get peoples advice ^^ I was planning on having some light but strong material. Wood, or something similar. I would attach this to my back with elastic. I would have bolts going through this and through my top to the other side. Then I would put the wings on then screw on the nuts to keep it all together. Then I would clip the material over using poppers so you can't see the bolts. Its hard to explain maybe my sketch will help ^^;;; (I drew one bolt per a wing in my picture but i will do 2, Totalling in 8 bolts) I'd like to know if this idea is viable and any suggestions/improvements would be loved ^_^ Thanks~ __________________ Come and Join the UK Touhou Project Fans https://www.facebook.com/groups/205785246149536/ http://touhouuk.deviantart.com/

Though I'm a really big fan of the corset harness becuase theres nothing worse than being crippled from backache with a cosplay. The Harness you described can work just fine but it doesn't look easily transportable to me so that's another reason why the second one works better. Also using PVC pipes instead of wood for the bones of the wings will make the whole thing lighter. It will also give the wings a natural bouncy when you walk which is cool. As for make up it looks like eyeliner to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odnlwYnBkEs something like this will help. She waffles on for ages but really what your after is how she applys eyeliner to her lower and uplids. There are plenty of tutorials like this so get experimenting __________________

I'll be able to detach the wings on my design by undoing the nut, so transport and toilet aren't a problem. The makeup tutorial looks perfect Thanks ^.^ I'll get some makeup and do some tests ^.^ __________________ Come and Join the UK Touhou Project Fans https://www.facebook.com/groups/205785246149536/ http://touhouuk.deviantart.com/

I bought mine in superdrug becuase they were having a 3 for 2 offer and it made it a lot cheaper but if I dont know what make up to wear for a cosplay I usually use this. It comes with three light colours, three medium colours and three dark colours and it tells you how to blend them to get the effect http://www.collectioncosmetics.co.uk/eyes/eyeshadow/eye-palettes.aspx They also do pallettes of crazy colours but the above is the one that I think will work best. Also if your only using makeup for cosplays I wouldn't worry too much about investing in lots of brushes, just use the ones that come with the kits __________________
