How To Run A Fandom Photoshoot
cancerously:
This is honestly going to be longer than sin. Bear with me.
So, I run a lot of fandom photoshoots and have been for over a year and a half now, spawning over mainly the Hetalia and Homestuck fandoms. Both of these have been rather large and at their worst I’ve commanded over 300 people with very little assistance (one helper). Over the time I’ve ran these shoots, I’ve heard a lot...

Hey guys! Just a quick friendly post to let you all know there’s a double-post bug in Tumblr’s queue system. We’re going to hold off on posting until after it clears up, which should be soon!

Cheap Mehron!
Another kind of theatre makeup besides Ben Nye is Mehron Fantasy FX! I have a bottle of grey, and it’s perfect for Gamzee’s makeup. It was only $2 for a 1 oz bottle. I also mix it with Ben Nye and it works fine(:

Nepeta's Claws
I am going to be cosplaying nepeta and i thought that this would be a good and easy tutorial for her claws, you can just modify them to how you want :]
Mod Note: This is awesome! Just remember she has four claws on each hand instead of three, and they’re different sizes!
