Gentle Makeup Removal

See this stuff here? It’s pure magic, and removes sealed Ben Nye in a heartbeat. Got mine off of my face, neck, feet and ankles in a little more than 5 minutes without having to scrub. You will need to use makeup remover cloths (which work best), cotton balls, or a face cloth.image

High Quality and Low-Costing Wigs!

I ordered a wig from Amazon a while back that I now use for my Rose cosplay, which was around $12 and very high-quality. It came with a wig cap and more packaging than was probably necessary, and it sheds very little and is really pretty smooth. It has an adjuster thing on the back so it will fit most head sizes, too.

I had some trouble figuring out where it came from, but here is the website. (don’t be fooled by the front page, there is a wig section) most wigs cost anywhere from $8-$15, and I haven’t seen many over $25. Some specific wig styles may be difficult to find (for example, I have seen maybe one wig that would work at all for a Karkat or John cosplay), but the selection is pretty decent, and you could easily find something to style on your own.

If you’re looking for a nice, easy-to-style, and cheap wig, I highly recommend this site.

Sailor Damara Help

So maybe some of you are wanting to cosplay Damara in her Sailor Moon cosplay, and I found this great video tutorial which I’m using for a Sailor Mercury cosplay.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYFyC8xqZ2o

You’ll have to switch the satin out for a better material. Also don’t use your real hair like the girl does in the tutorial, you’ll have to essentially buy or make a black Sailor Moon wig. You’ll also need horns and body paint.

Wig-Styling Help

homestuckresources.tumblr.com reblogged this great resource of how to draw the Alpha Trolls’ hair! I thought it could help people as a reference for styling a wig, maybe.

Beware of FM-Anime.com for wigs

I’ve been working on a Karkat cosplay for a while, and I was looking for a wig on multiple sites. After a while I decided to order a wig from FM-Anime.com, because the one I found would need the least amount of styling.

This is the wig I ordered:

And this is the wig I recieved:

When I e-mailed them about a mix up (Since they have 3 wigs labeled the same thing) I was told that I had to cut the wig myself, even though no where on their website does it say that. Not only did they sell me a wig that wasn’t what they promised, in the light I noticed the wig is dark brown, not black as I ordered.

As far as I know, they will not take my return, as they have not replied to my product compliant that was sent on 5/10/13, even though the website guarantees customer support response within 6-12 hours (The original e-mail took they 2 days to reply to). They also do not do well with shipping; it took them a month after I paid for my wig to even send it out. 

I would not recommend anyone use this site, based on their customer support, shipping time, and the product I received. However, that is my personal experience, maybe someone else actually got the wig the picture showed from this website.

agree518 Review

If anyone is planning on buying from the user “agree518” I’d be very wary because i ordered this wig and i did not receive the wig. I only received a couple hair accessories (which i did not order) and that was it. I know a few people have had trouble ordering from them as well so I don’t recommend buying from them

This is a really good bun for Damara or young Handmaid! Arda Wigs makes super good quality wigs and this is only $6. You can buy a medium length wig, style it for the base and then sew in the bun or secure it with pins.
