Ebay wig store
I found an awesome store on ebay that sells tons of wigs. I got my Terezi wig from there and it took about 18 days to get here (Canada) and they come pre-styled, they are also high quality and very inexpensive!
Also free shipping! Always a bonus.

Aranea/Vriska Makeup
Target (and many other places, I assume) sells a fantastic blue liquid eyeliner that’s perfect for anyone cosplaying Vriska or Aranea. I just tried it out and it’s really clear and bright! The brand is Milani Infinite liquid eyeliner. It comes in other colors too, but I don’t remember which.
I also tried the previously suggested Hard Candy fiberized mascara and it didn’t...

Troll Nails
I found this nail polish at my local Dollar Tree and the color seemed to match. It’s called L.A. Colors Color Craze. (No specific name.) It’s really cheap, but it chips off quickly and the color is weak so you have to coat it a bunch. About 3-4 times. It become kind of orangey by then.
Just remember to use a top coat and it’ll last for a while. :)

Rose Wig
If you’re not afraid to use Ebay, you could buy this for a Rose wig.
Of course, you may need to style it just a bit.

Paradise Paint Review
That Paradise body paint that was suggested is really good! My friend bought some the other day. It’s a water activated paint, 1.4 or 1.5 oz (I forget) for about $10 at our local costume shop. Some managed to stay on my friend through about two days with no sealant, and regular makeup remover melts it off. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Aradia's Red Eyeliner
So I ran around a lot looking for some good red eyeliner, but never did find anything all that great. Someone suggested using lipliner instead, though, and it worked perfectly! It’s softer and easier to apply (though if you’re not careful it smudges more easily) and definitely easier to find (pretty much anywhere with regular makeup). You can also use it to touch up your lips. It works...

Cheap person way to fill cracks
Well, me being cheap and slightly impatient person working on my Gamzee horns, decided I was going to find a quick fix to fill in a crack, which just so happens to be white glue. I wasn’t too sure how well it would turn out but, after a few days now they’re painted and look just fine. I think white glue is a pretty good alternate (But only if you HAVE to guys. Can’t stress that...

I hope it’s okay if I link to a post I made. It’s not the same url as this one because it’s my Homestuck side-blog, so don’t worry, I’m not trying to steal anything. Eheh…
These are some little tips I have for people making troll horns.

MatchWigs review!
So you asked for a MatchWigs review and I can give you one, because I am genuinely ecstatic about this wig.
[[MORE]]
I bought this wig - http://matchwigs.com/84-wanar-v-short-black-wig-cosplay.html - for my Kanaya cosplay.
At the time it looked like this -
After my new wig cap came in, I was able to style it - it styled really easily! I just clipped it, sprayed it, then went downstairs to...

Terezi Glasses
I don’t know if these have been submitted yet, but they are from the same Etsy seller who sells the great Bro/Dirk/AR glasses: http://www.etsy.com/listing/101634876/red-cosplay-costome-sunglasses-glasses
They aren’t 100% accurate, but it says V1 so they’re probably working on refining the design. Unless you like what I’m calling the “sassy tips”, you could...

FastMache: Don't Do It
If you’re planning on using FastMache or something similar for horns, DON’T DO IT. That stuff dries hard as a rock, is much heavier than clay, and is nearly impossible to sand down smoothly. Using it for any set of horns larger than Terezi’s could cause serious strain on the wearer’s skull/neck. That material is strictly for making science class volcano models, NOT costume...

Wigs!
So while I was looking at websites for wigs, I found this store. From what I’ve heard, they are a pretty good shop and each order comes with a wig cap and that seems to save you the trouble of buying one if you don’t have one already. HOWEVER, the wigs are pretty small. My friend has a 21″ head and it’s almost too tight for her. She also said she got it in about 13 days, which seems...

A great site for wigs
http://www.wigisfashion.com/
Is a fantastic place to buy wigs online. Everything is priced pretty fairly, and there is no charge for shipping from what I’ve experienced but I live in the US so I don’t know what shipping is for outside of America.
I’ve ordered from this site twice, once for a single wig and the other for four wigs. They have awesome costumer service and you get...

Eridan's Chat Glasses
I found these recently and I think the white ones with the dark lens would be awesome for Eridan’s sunglasses with his sign on them.

Claws?
I think these Wolverine claws could work for Nepeta.
Mod Note: They would make a sturdy base, though Nepeta has four claws which are slightly curved, hooked at the ends, and blue.
With a bit of hard work, these could look great!

Shoes!
There’s a lovely shoe website, which has some great shoes for low prices! They ship worldwide, although the shipping is a bit costly. Another downside is that certain shoes have limited sizing.

Don't get this wig!!
http://homestuckcosplayhelp.tumblr.com/post/25187756968/while-i-was-looking-for-wigs-i-found-this-one-and
Referring to the post above, I bought that wig for my Jade, and it’s really low quality. It’s not styled the same as in the picture, and the thickness on the sides are really uneven. Plus it tangles a lot. I really would NOT recommend it. although I do enjoy this seller and have...
