Stuck on Homestuck Cosplay?

Summoner Horns

Hi there!

I don’t know if someone’s already suggested it, but I made some Summoner horns using pool noodles and 14-gauge wire. They’re lightweight, surprisingly sturdy, pretty safe for everyone around you, and can be folded for storage if absolutely necessary. I also made mine so I can take the whole set on and off in three seconds flat, plus I can turn at any angle and they don’t fall off. Oh, and they don’t sag!

Mod Note: A friend who cosplay’s Tavros also made hers out of pool noodles, it’s a great materials!

DAVE’S HAIR

My friend has brought up a great point when it comes to all of the Dave cosplayers. Dave is commonly depicted as having early Beiber hair. The “Beib” if you will. 

Take a look at this. 

He’s got a much more defined part than what most cosplayers use, so make sure to put that in the wig!

God Tier Karkat Pants

I was looking around, and it seems that these would make pretty nifty pants for a Knight of Blood cosplay.

Mod Note: There also seems to be a nice blue for John in there/ Scrubs are pretty good pants or some god tier outfits, but not all.

Meenah frames

Found some frames you can use to make Meenah’s goggle glasses things! Just gotta pop out the lenses and paint it.

Jade eyeshadow

So , there was a post earlier ,long ago about sugarpill.net’s eyeshadows for lips. I found a good eyeshadow for god tier jades. It looks like space, so this is my recomendation.

Armsock alternate

Hi! so, something that i’ve noticed about the armsocks, is that although they’re handy for not getting gray paint everywhere, finding tights in the gray color was near-impossible for me. However, at my local Target, I found knee-high tights in three different shades of gray in the same pack for $7! the brand name is called merona, and although the package says socks, the material is more like tights rather than socks. although the effectiveness of the knee-high tights depends on the t-shirt length (if you’re going as feferi or equius, then the knee-highs wont really work for you :I ), it’s a nice alternate if one simply cannot find full-length tights in light gray!

Mod Note: Also, don’t be afraid to get ankle length tights or footless ones! You end up cutting the end off regular tights by a decent amount anyway!

Makeup Removal

I’ve only used Ben Nye and I’ve had friends who complained about how hard it is to get off. So I finally manned up and got a makeup applicator and caked my Ben Nye onto my face(i used plain gray but it came out blue, did i do something wrong?). After applying some neutral set and final seal and letting it sit for about an hour, to my family’s utter shock, I grabbed some trusty cotton balls and makeup remover.

Yes, just generic Kroger brand(or whatever supermarket you live near) Eye Makeup Remover. I was able to remove all of the makeup on my face with about 5 cottons balls of remover. However my brand is oily so i washed my face directly afterwards and then washed off whatever was stuck in my hairline. But, the point is some generic eye makeup remover will work wonders on the Ben Nye to remove it. 

Also I should add that it is safe to use around your mouth and nose but I highly suggest running a washcloth over afterwards unless you want a slightly gray complexion for anything you’ll be doing later!

Eridan/Fef ears

I found some cheap Eridan/ Feferi ears I’m interested in buying on ebay- They are unpainted Latex Prosthetic “sea elf ears” and they cost less than 20 dollars. The seller lives in Nashville, Tennessee and they ship world wide. The best part about the ears is that they are light enough to paint on :D
