You've got a perfect skin, with a Devils grin.

Hello there!


To my mind, skin is a very important piece of cosplaying. It makes any character look better - none of us have the perfect skin like an anime character!

Here are some instructions for YOUR skin to look perfect! There are three things you should know before we start:
1. You do not need to be a make-up artist of any kind, it is very easy when you have the right supplies.
2. Take your time, it can easily take 20 minutes to have a perfect skin!
3. Don't buy the cheapest foundation or eyeliner you can find, it only affects on your skin and eyes badly.

So, here are the supplies needed:


1. Foundation
2. A sponge for foundation
3. Cake powder
4. Concealer
5. Concealing brush
6. Powder brush
7. Mascara
8. Eyeliner (for mascara and eyeliner, prefer the waterproof ones!)
9. Moisturizing lotion




First use the moisturizing lotion all over your face. It makes the foundation and powder last longer and is better for your skin. (some powders make your skin very dry)



Next, apply concealer to your problem areas (such as pimples, moles, red spots etc..)
Blend it well with the concealing brush.



Then apply foundation all over your face (now, take your time, don't rush!)



finnish the skin with powder (use powder brush or a sponge)




It should be something like this:DDDDDDDDDd



Then apply the eyeliner. When cosplaying a guy, avoid having "a cat eye" lining since it probably is going to look too girly!!! Also use some mascara BUT JUST TO HAVE SOME COLOUR NOT LENGTH!!!

right? *momos deathly stare*

AND voila, you are ready:


(yes, that is POKE not me!!! just my wig:f)

To conclude..we did some photoshoot!


me as Badou Nails



And Poke as Haine Rammsteiner, both from DOGS:)

Take care,

Momo & Poke~~

Why is the rum gone?

AHOY!

At first ignore the title, I still have rum.

Also,ignore the sentence above, I'm not gonna talk about rum even though I wanted..Momo forbade me since this is cosplay blog :(((

Well, that's all about rum. Let's focus to cosplay!

I'm going to do...*rums*...the wig-styling tutorial!!!

OK, at first, the materials needed;




So, let's list it up!
- A wig (no shit sherlock!)
- Cutting scissors (SHARP ONES!!)
- Thinning scissors (or hairdresser knife)
- Different hair styling products ( LOTS OF HAIRSPRAY!!)
- Some water to spray
- A wighead
(-Glue for the spiking)

At first, attach the wig to the wighead.



Photo is a little blurry because Momo still has some problems with close up photos when using my camera... WELL WHATEVER.

So, next step is to turn the wig around and spray some water on it but only if you want it to be spiky




Then, use the sharp scissors to style the wig and to remove the additional parts

After doing that use the thinning scissors to break up the hard lines.




Next, use hairspray and stuff.

So, this is what it was before styling:



And now:



TA-DAAAAAAAAAAAAA

so this is it.

hopefully it helped someone.
:D

SORRY

Oh god, we have been SO busy!

Anyway, we have been working a lot and we are going to update soon:
-Wig styling for Haine
-Perfect skin for cosplayers
-Little something about how to succeed with Akatsuki-cloak (not tutorial since it's ready but some patterns and stuff)
-Operation Suigetsu coming soon! (I'll start making it after 10.4.2011)
-AND as soon as Poke is willing to get a new wig for her Sasuke outfit, we are going to post a tutorial of styling it (inc. spiking!)
-Cosplay shooting (very important!) Poke is going to do it since she is THE photographer;D

That should be enough for some time:D

Yeah..this was just a short post so you would know we still exist:D

Sayonara dudez

I'm writing to tell you that these bananas are going to be on the more tropical zones for a while^^

Gotta be careful not to be overiped:---dd

This is the Tropic we're going to:
¨


Oh the lovely azores^^

Since this is a cosplay blog, I'll tell you some Grrrrrrrreatt newz

Our wigs have finally arrived and after our holiday we will post a wig-styling tutorial for this guys hair (Haine Rammsteiner, DOGS)


My wig has also arrived and it is AWESOME I already straigtened it but will not do a tutorial out of it since my wig had a heat resistance on it and I just simply used a hair straightener:D (with small temperature of course;3)

But now, I will say Hasta la Vista and escape to this tropical paradise called Azores!

P.S We'll post you some holiday pics too so you can be jealous WAHAHAH

duhh..

Itachi can't have boobs, can he?

Here we come, the favourite problem of cosplayer girls!
We all have tried to bind in hell of a many ways! But in the end of a con..BOOBS they come!

My favourite so far has been the duct tape, it is useful in so many ways..but in the end of a con..OUCH! The second is roll bandage and support bandage..they just keep draining down..gosh

The only thing that actually works is the OSB (open shirt binding) but then again..what a pain..

I'm glad to tell you that there are a few solutions that work;) Today i did a tutorial of making a duct tape corset...such a drag to do but oh so nice to use!

You can also order binding shirts but they cost pretty much...eww, says my wallet.

BUT! let's get started..

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

- LOTS OF DUCT TAPE!
- an old shirt
- scissors
- a strong rope
- pins
- a little bit of any fabric (not crucial)
- sail staplers..(I did not find any..see my way out)
- PATIENCE
- Patch..
- Blood.
- FFFUUU-face...
_ *__'

Yeah, lets see how I dealt with the sail staplers..

I got to my daddys locker..it is such a wonderland!


and I found..

They will do:)

Next came the funny part..wearing the lovely kittycat shirt and wrapping it full of duct tape..just wrap it so it binds everything that you want:D


Then cut it from the middle FRONT!


next thing is to cut away the extra fabric and strengthen it a little more with duct tape, then cut it to half again (so you can get some marterial off from it). It should be looking something like this...


Next, tape the parts together, a little lapped so the size will decrease.


Then just simply make some holes to it, and put the sail staplers or if you don't..

just put something to strengthen them holes..

Then put up the strings..


Be careful!


as they say "cosplay without pain is a sham"

Finish the corset by taping the ends of the strings so they wont start to unravel of leave the string holes..


voila..here is a little crappy picture of this corset under the shirt..


Yeah..that is it for now..I think we'll update once more before our trip to azores;)

we'll be away for a week by then:D

to end this entry in a HOT way, here is a picture of poke without make-up on..


BEAUTIFUL, OH

Yours, sincerely

Momo

Momo is a nail addict.

POKE IS ON FIREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so.
I decided to tell you something about Momo.
Since Momo has no clue about me actually writing this right now I'm able to tell all the dirty stuff without Momo bossing around HAHAH GOTCHA MOMO!!!

So, who Momo actually is?

Momo is my twin sister,she's 12 minutes YOUNGER than me so I'm the BIG SIS!!

Right now she's in her room doing nails..yes she's doing nails.

Momo is a nail addict.

She has tons of different nail-stuff..nail polish, tips, fake nails, jewellery and even UV-oven.
If you see Momo with "original nails" ( at this case nails that are only painted with nail polish..) you must pinch yourself.
I can't find photos of momo with nails BUT I can always show you MY NAILS!!
made by momo ofc.



I KNOW! I LOVE THEM TOO!!

...I mean yeah, Momo is getting pretty good with nails.

This is Momo's nail box.




or..part of it. I was very ninja and took it (picture) while Momo was away from her room.

well, what else should(n't) I tell you...

OH YEAH MOMOS ANOTHER WEAKNESS...surprise it's SHOES.

She has like 14 pairs of HIGH HEELS.
I don't really get it..ok, I do love high heels too BUT
Momo owns 4 pairs of red high heels, not to mention other colours..



OH NO I GOT CAUGHT!!!!!!!

EVIL MOMO ATTACKK NOOOOOOOO!!!!

I wasn't ninja enough to capture photo of her shoes :(

well.. SHE CAN'T STOP ME!!!

I don't think there's more to tell..

WL: Poke who's still alive.

PS.

Momo always dances like this.

Badou's eyepatch tutorial

Hellojello~

I can see some new readers woah..cool.. We are very thankful:D

Anyway, I'm actually going to do a tutorial of Badou's eyepatch

Equipment needed:
- The lenses of old sunglasses (in my case, broken ones)
- Black leather (found it from our fabric box)
- Hot glue (mmmm, yummyyyy~~)
- Black elastic band (enough to get it twice around your head)
- Nail file (Or sandpaper, I just happen to have a "few" nail files..)
- Scissors



So, at first you should take the lense that goes to your right eye and roughen it with a nail file



Then cut a piece of leather to cover the lense, attach the elastic band and use hot glue to get it all done (I don't have any pictures so use your imagination^^)

and voila, you are ready! (you can see the picture of the eyepatch in one of our earlier blog entrys^^)

Yeah, that was it:D

So, to add some nonsense stuff here...Last weekend we met our friend Laura. The actual reason of meeting her was to see these cuties^^



HOW CUTE ARE THEY??? *melts* ^

Speaking of dogs, (despite the fact that it is the serie we are now cosplaying) this is our own sweetie, Pekka ♥



So, this is it for now..BTW do you like our new layout?

P.S Poke, this is my revenge;



WAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
