it looks really good after looking at refrences of Feferi (since i thought of her when i saw this) the bang may be problematic but its about whats your own headcanon and such! (you can always style it) It costs $29.79. I havent tried it myself, but it seems pretty good!

Makeup for Canadian Cosplayers

For Canadians (or those Toronto if you want to physically go there yourself), Malabar’s contains Ben Nye products and being a theatre company they may contain other reliable brands for body paint and makeup.

Roxy Wig

I ordered This wig http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blonde-Wig-Straight-with-Bangs-WGJF03-/320991928385 For my roxy cosplay. It arrived in only a few days and looked great right out of the box! It was much lighter and quite shorter than expected. But, i believe it was so short because i have alot of hair. Overall A+ wig. I would reccomend, especially if you need a roxy wig FAST.

Heres a picture of me wearing it straight out of the box without any styling http://25.media.tumblr.com/b8f6d7e398ba42846a154e2335921c3b/tumblr_mmkd4oGQV21qjritco1_500.jpg

Bathrooms and Disposable Gloves

At some point during a con or cosplay, YOU WILL NEED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, but if your arms/hands are covered in makeup/armsocks that you can’t take off you will be stuck with soiled hands the rest of the day. Nobody wants fecal matter or urine on  their body. You will smell disgusting and be a major health risk.

The solution: bring disposable latex gloves to put on then throw them away when your done! Your hands stay clean and you don’t have to reapply makeup/clothes! Get the one-wear kind doctors or lunch ladies wear, do not get dish gloves they are really expensive per pair!

You can find these for about $9 for 100 at Walmart

Here’s what I found for target

Walgreens has a lot of good deals as well $3.59 for 80

I come to tell you guys about Mehron Colour Creamlend Stick! http://www.mehron.com/HYPERFORMANCE_CreamBlend_p/400.htm
This stuff is a miracle. I learned about it from my friend (who uses white to cosplay Animaniacs). It comes in a tube and is REALLY easy to rub/blend in. All you literally need to do is rub a VERY small portion on the areas where you want to be grey and then just… rub/spread the makeup. It its very easy to use. It took me literally 30 seconds to cover my entire hand and less than 5 mins to cover my face, and it feels nive on your skin. And, when you wanna wash it off, theres next to no residue. Also, its SUPER cheap.
I got mine on ebay for 9 bucks, free shipping. The Light Grey is perfect and requires 0 mixing, however this makeup is VERY good for blending if you wanna blend in blush for your characters. Also, they WHITE is amazing. Unlike Ben Nye, which is slightly translucent and makes you look like a Cullen (which is great if you wanna do a vampire/zombie), the Mehron white is opaque and doesnt show your skin under, so its perfect for rainbow drinkers and gamzees (if you apply it with a makeup brush).
I only did a test run and plan to use this at fanime. Again: Cheap, SUPER fast to apply, and has the perfect colour.

rose wig!

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A9FLJS/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

this makes a pretty good Rose wig, it’s relatively cheap and can easily be worn with a headband.

It arrived a couple weeks early and comes with a wig cap.

Pretty Swell Roxy wig

While I was cruising ebay for a dave wig I found this pretty swell base wig for Roxy. It’s apparently a tiger and bunny wig and I’ve bought from these guys before, they’re pretty awesome!

I hope this was helpful! I know getting wigs to get all flippy like that is a hassle, lordy jesus.

Five Wits Wigs!

I haven’t personally bought from them myself, but I’ve heard very good things about The Five Wits Wigs! Looking at their selection, they seem to offer some great wigs. They are a bit more pricey than, say, ebay, but they’re based in the U.S. and that makes them all the more reliable. In particular, they have a pretty good wig for Roxy and detachable Meenah braids! Hope this helps!
