Anime characters are notorious for having a clean even skin tone. To get this effect is similar to applying regular make-up. Start with a clean face. Apply a facial moisturizer across the entire face and neck. If the skin is oily or the make-up will be worn for a long time, put on a small amount of primer first.

Apply liquid foundation evenly over the face and the neck. Be sure to blend it in at the hairline. If there are very apparent blemishes consider adding some concealer before applying the foundation. Foundation can be applied with a brush, a sponge or with the hands cheap cosplay costumes. Try them out and choose which option works best.

The next step is powder. Apply a powder of the same shade with a wide loose brush, like a kabuki brush. Blend a light layer of powder overtop the foundation.

Pay special attention to the characteristics of their face. Most young characters have no definition on the face, meaning they do not have a pronounced jaw or high cheekbones. In that case contouring will not be needed.

If the character is mature consider defining the cheekbones by adding a slightly darker toned powder under the ball of the cheekbone and a highlighting shade atop the cheekbone.

When cosplaying female characters, use a light or nude shade gloss for the lips. Other than characters who wear lipstick, their lips often have a shine.

When cosplaying a male character consider wearing a nude shade of lipstick or applying foundation on the lips. Be sure to moisturize them before applying foundation because it may dry them out. Notice how the majority of male anime characters have no colour to their lips. Less colour gives the face a surreal appearance cosplay shop.

The eyes are often the defining part of any character. To get the defined lash, add a thin line of black eyeliner along the lash line. Also apply some black mascara because most anime characters have black lashes that do not match their hair colour. This may be all that’s needed for a male cosplay.
