What makeup tools are needed for cosplay scenes? What else should I pay attention to when applying makeup on location?

1. Facial makeup tools: foundation (powder or liquid), concealer brush, powder puff/dense sponge, powder blush brush, blush powder, etc. The basic sequence of makeup: apply foundation - apply concealer ——The specific operation of applying blush: Powder foundation: COS, especially VR COS, it is very easy to have a "pie face" effect. People who are obviously very thin will have round faces in photos~ SO, first of all, we need to Prepare two colors of foundation with different shades. Use a powder puff to take the light foundation and pat it on the cheeks. Then use another powder puff to take a small amount of dark foundation to modify the forehead, bridge of the nose and other high-protruding parts of the face to create a difference in color. , showing a three-dimensional effect. I would like to advise all cosplayers not to use overly white powder for special effects, or to apply the powder very thickly. This will not only damage the skin, but sometimes also cause the opposite effect. Finally, use a sponge to gently tap off the floating powder on your face.

————————————————————————————————-

Powder

Use powder on the upper eyelids to cover up puffiness around the eyes.

Liquid Foundation

First place the foundation in the palm of your hand. Knead it evenly with your fingertips and heat it with body temperature to improve the softness of the foundation. Then apply under the eyes. Place foundation on both cheeks and apply in a radial pattern. Use your fingertips to apply foundation from the cheeks to the outside of the face, then towards the center of the face. Apply foundation evenly from forehead down. Use your fingertips to spread the remaining foundation around the eyes and sides of the nose evenly. Finish with a sponge. Gently press it to absorb excess foundation and oil, so that uneven color tone will not occur.

The advantage of using liquid foundation is that it is less likely to cause makeup residue, and it is not easy to damage the original foundation when using oil-absorbing paper. This is suitable for cosplayers with dry skin.

Concealer

Usually use your fingers directly without borrowing other makeup tools.

Apply concealer around the eyes, where dark circles usually appear. If you have small pimples or spots, you can apply concealer directly with a brush.

Any cosmetics will irritate the skin. If the concealer is too thick, it will also clog the pores, and Xiaodoudou will cover more and more.

Blush

After applying all the foundation, we can apply blush.

It should be noted that blush is not necessarily red. The color should be chosen according to the main color of personal makeup.

The size of blush cake and powder cake are similar, and eye shadow powder can also be used instead when needed urgently.

Use a blush brush to take up a small amount of color, and pat it in the palm of your hand a few times to shake off the floating color, otherwise the color will be too strong and the foundation will be destroyed. Even if heavy makeup is required, blush should be applied slowly, layer by layer.

With the highest point of the cheek as the center, draw a round blush. Make a smile and repeat the circle using the center of your cheek as a standard.

2. Mouth

I believe everyone has used lipstick, lipstick and other similar cosmetics. When little S was a child, she often secretly used lipstick and applied it randomly. ~Hehe~

The usual way to use lip gloss is to apply it directly on the lips, lick the upper and lower lips, and the color will be fixed on the mouth, and then use a small brush to shape it into a certain shape. It is very easy. . In order to remove makeup quickly and conveniently, people often apply a thin layer of lip balm before applying lip gloss~

The utensils are also relatively simple: lip balm (according to personal needs), lipstick/lip gloss, and several small brushes ( It is best not to use the same brush~), tissue, etc. for different colors of lip gloss.

Tips for making lips smaller: First, use your fingers to apply lip color to the center of your lips to make the lip peaks stand out and make the corners of your lips light pink. Apply the lip color in the center of the lips and gently blend it to the sides with your fingers to make the lip shape more three-dimensional. Use a lip brush to apply lip gloss to the middle of your lips, and a natural three-dimensional lip shape will be created. This method is very similar to the "face slimming" method mentioned earlier. They both use the transition of color and the change of light to create a three-dimensional effect. For those who have studied color, it should be easy to understand the reason~

Tips for lasting lipstick:

(This is very troublesome, and it can easily turn your mouth into a mess, sweat~ Unless it is a very professional photography that requires high-quality makeup, Otherwise, Xiao S will definitely not recommend this approach. Having said that, if it is a professional level of makeup, I have no say at all...sweat)

In order to prevent the lipstick from smearing, use your lips first Draw the lip shape with a liner, then apply lipstick, gently sip the lipstick, apply powder, apply lipstick again, and finally use an eyeshadow brush to dip in blush or eyeshadow powder that is similar to the color of the lipstick. Not only will the lipstick last long, It can also create a pink-textured lip makeup. In addition, applying concealer to your lips and then applying lipstick can also make your lip makeup last longer. Or use a special lip-fixing liquid. After applying the lip gloss, dip it in the lip-fixing liquid so that the makeup on the lips will not come off easily.

Apply pearlescent gloss last: Special texture lipsticks such as pearlescent gloss should not be mixed with ordinary lipstick before applying on the lips. This will weaken their special visual effect. It is recommended to use "normal lipstick" first. "The "special" painting method will give you a more layered feel.

Apply light first and then darken: When you don’t have a lip brush at hand, you cannot directly mix different shades of lipstick together. Applying light first and then dark can avoid the problem of dark colors overpowering light colors. Dark on the outside and light on the inside: If you are worried that your lip shape is not beautiful and full, you can use the application method of dark on the outside and light on the inside. The dark color outlines the outline and the light color fills in. Between the dark and light lip colors, be sure to use a lip brush to evenly apply them, otherwise It would be unnatural if the boundaries were too clear. Black and white shades: If you like a certain color of lipstick, but its shade does not match your skin tone, you can use black and white lipstick to mix it directly with your favorite lipstick to adjust the shade to the ideal state. Pearlescent bright colors have good effects outdoors or on stage with light

3. Eye tools: eyeliner (eyeliner is more expensive and not recommended), mascara, eyeshadow powder, eyeshadow brush, Cotton swabs, eyelash curlers, mascara... (N kinds of strange tools are omitted below~) Apply eye shadow first, then draw eyeliner, and finally apply mascara. Because eyeshadow usually requires a lot of smudging, if you apply eyeliner first, the eyeliner will be blurred. Mascara is also easy to fade and difficult to clean, so it should be applied last. Don’t confuse the steps~ When drawing eyeliner, the effects of makeup brush, liquid eyeliner and eyeliner are different. The lines of makeup brush and liquid eyeliner are different. Detailed, the effect is vivid and outstanding. Eyeliner has a thicker line, but most people find it easier to use. Some liquid eyeliner pen tips are specially designed to have a hardness that is between a pen and a brush, making them a middle-of-the-road choice. (Seems very professional?) The tip of the eyeliner is too hard and irritates the eye skin. To soften the hard tip of the eyeliner, it is best to put it close to the light bulb (you can also bake it with a fire/alcohol lamp/lighter, but it is easy to burn...| |||), the pen tip will soften after a few seconds. Every time after sharpening the eyeliner, wipe off the sawdust with a paper towel and make a few strokes with the tip of the pen on the paper towel so that it is not too sharp.

Eye shadow always falls off within half a day, what should I do?

Apply three magic tools on the eyes and face: concealer, foundation and powder, and finally add eye shadow to ensure that the eye shadow does not fall off all day long. Another method is to choose eye shadow with more color particles.

The key to applying charming eye shadow is to use a makeup brush to apply light eye shadow. First, dot the eye shadow powder in the center of the eyelids, and then apply it in a radial pattern to the eye sockets. Dip a sponge stick into dark eye shadow and dot it on the upper eye corner, then slowly apply it along the upper eye edge toward the inner corner of the eye. After applying the eye shadow powder to the inner corner of the eye, use a sponge stick to apply it back from the inner corner of the eye along the upper eye edge. Go to the end of the eye and blur the line between light and dark colors so that the dark and light colors blend together. The width of dark eye shadow application is generally based on the width of the double eyelids. The ideal situation is that when you open your eyes, the halo of the light and dark eye shadows can be exposed to 23 mm. So the best way is to open your eyes from time to time to confirm while applying eye shadow. But for those with single eyelids and double eyelids, it is difficult to determine the width of application, so it is especially important to open your eyes to confirm while applying. Because the eyeshadow's color halo narrows the distance between the eyes and eyebrows, it makes the eyes look deeper and more charming. After applying the eye shadow, you can gently tap it with your fingertips to make it adhere more firmly. The key point is not to make people see the obvious boundary between the "dark and light" colors, so that the color of the eye shadow and the skin color can be fully and naturally blended together, leaving no trace of the connection between the two colors. If you can achieve this **eye-catching** [makeup method to make small eyes look bigger] **eye-catching** Leave a little white space at the end of the eye when drawing eyeliner, the end of the eye should be slightly upward, and use mascara to make the eyelashes look longer , the ends of the eyes should be painted white. The center of the eyeliner should be thicker. When applying eyeliner, make the center part thicker, use a darker eyeshadow slightly upward at the end of the eye, and apply it lightly to create a hazy state. Draw two lines to create double lines. Use a black or gray eyebrow pencil to draw two natural lines on the upper eye to create double lines. When applying eye shadow, please use a brown eye shadow pen to apply it lightly on the upper eyelids to create a hazy state.

One step shows that you have mastered the essentials of applying eye shadow well.

Eyelash Curler If used properly, eyelash curlers can make your eyelashes look twice as long as before. Choose a good quality eyelash curler (for the sake of your poor eyelashes, at least don't go too far~), and if you find the rubber starts to crack, replace it immediately. Don't use an eyelash curler after applying mascara, as the curler may get on the curler and pull your lashes out when you release the curler. Don't pull too hard when using an eyelash curler, as you'll pull the lashes out all together. To use the double pressure method: place the open clip near the root of the upper eyelashes, and then arrange the eyelashes between the two orbits. After 5 seconds, release the eyelash curler, move it slightly to the middle of the eyelashes, and repeat this step. Many people use eyelash curlers with force, which can easily injure their eyelashes. Although they are inconspicuous, they are part of your body after all. Please be gentle. This will also help achieve what you want. Effect ~

4. Eyebrow tools: eyebrow pliers, tweezers, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow brush, mirror, small scissors, skin astringent water, moisturizer and small cotton balls, etc. The Main Steps of Eyebrow Shaping Eyebrow shaping is a highly technical technique. You must master the operation technique and be careful in order to create the ideal eyebrow shape. Its main steps include: Cleaning your brows. Use a small eyebrow brush to lightly brush your eyebrows in front of the mirror to remove powder and dandruff.

Dip the ball in alcohol or astringent skin lotion (recommended to use Ke Lingke Li, easy to buy, relatively cheap... I am advertising to others... |||| Just borrow it if you use it occasionally~), Rub your eyebrows and surrounding areas to clean them. Cover your eyebrows with a cotton ball or hot towel soaked in warm water to loosen the tissue in the eyebrow area. Determine the eyebrow shape. You can first use an eyebrow pencil to draw an eyebrow shape that suits you. Any eyebrows that remain outside the outline are redundant. (The strokes must be clear so that you can see the general range. It will be troublesome to wash them again.) Adjust the length of the eyebrow shape. Trim the eyebrows that are too long and grow vertically downward to the appropriate length. Keep the eyebrows slightly shorter and the closer to the eyebrows, the longer they should be. From the center of the eyebrows to the tip of the eyebrows, it should not be cut too short unless the shape is bad. Trim the shape. Use eyebrow tweezers to remove excess eyebrows one by one to achieve the ideal eyebrow shape. To reduce the pain when plucking your eyebrows, apply some moisturizer before plucking them. When plucking, slightly tighten the eyebrow skin, and pluck them one by one along the direction of eyebrow growth, outward or upward. Use a razor to shave off the vellus hair and excess hair around your eyebrows. After removing stray eyebrows, use astringent lotion to pat the eyebrows and the skin around them to shrink the skin pores. After trimming, use a small brush to lightly brush your eyebrows to keep them in their natural position. (Eyebrow shaping can change a person’s temperament, and it is easier to perform on a daily basis~)

My eyebrows are very sparse, how to remedy them? Flatten the tip of the eyebrow pencil and then trace the eyebrow shape one by one. Then use an eyebrow eraser to rub the eyebrow pencil in the same direction several times to pick up the color, and then rub it outward along the direction of eyebrow growth to soften the original eyebrow pencil lines. [Note]: The eyebrows must not be more eye-catching than the eyes, otherwise they will look very stiff~

How to use nail polish correctly on nails (manicure tool sets are sold in any small commodity wholesale market) The basis for trimming nails COS needs to be trimmed into oval, square, pointed shapes, etc. To trim the nail surface, use a three-purpose nail file to remove unevenness on the nail surface. When applying nail polish, first apply base coat (transparent nail polish is also acceptable, and cheap nail polish is also sold in many places), and then apply it evenly and smoothly from the middle of the nail to both sides. Note that the brush used for nail painting should be at a 45-degree angle to the nail surface.

6. Makeup removal: Dirt on the skin can be divided into two types, including sebum and water-soluble dirt contaminated in daily life, and oily dirt such as cosmetics. Water-soluble dirt can be easily removed with ordinary cleansers; while cosmetic oily dirt cannot be cleaned unless it is a cleansing milk that also contains oil as the main ingredient. The basic method of choosing makeup remover must be based on the adhesion of the previously used foundation to the skin. If the makeup is not removed thoroughly enough, the remaining dirt will lead to negative sequelae such as pigmentation, dark spots, and acne. The first condition for doing a good job in makeup removal is to never skimp on the amount of makeup remover you use. I bought a brand-name makeup remover, but I couldn’t bear to use it more. I might as well use affordable makeup remover instead. If you are unable to clean thoroughly due to weight saving, which will endanger your skin health, wouldn’t it be a penny wise and pound foolish? In addition, remember not to massage while removing makeup, otherwise the cosmetics that have finally emerged will be stuffed back into the pores, which is simply not worth the gain. If you really want to massage your skin, be sure to remove the makeup remover first and then massage it with makeup remover lotion or massage cream. There are many types of makeup removers, and here we can only provide a few representative methods. Therefore, before using a new makeup remover, please read the instruction manual that comes with the product carefully. If you want to remove makeup quickly and completely, you must use cleansing oil. After dissolving the foundation, the cleansing oil will turn into an oil, and when it comes into contact with water, it will change and emulsify into white. If the dirt is emulsified without being dissolved, the cleaning effect will be greatly reduced, so when using cleansing oil, please keep your face and hands dry. In addition, since rinsing with water alone cannot remove the oil, you must use facial cleanser to completely remove it to avoid the sequelae of acne and dull skin. Liquid makeup remover: suitable for oily skin and light makeup with a light powder. Gel makeup remover: for medium to oily skin and makeup that only uses powder or liquid foundation. Emulsion-like makeup remover: for normal skin and makeup that only uses powder and liquid foundation. Cream makeup remover: for medium to dry skin and makeup surfaces that use powder, liquid foundation, long-lasting liquid foundation, or long-lasting cream foundation. Oily makeup remover: for medium to dry skin and makeup surfaces that use powder, liquid foundation, long-lasting liquid foundation, or long-lasting cream foundation. Eye and lip makeup remover: Strengthens cleaning of key areas, suitable for use of cosmetics in specific areas such as mascara, eye shadow, lipstick, etc. (The words above are all copied directly. Those who have the conditions should consider those methods~ The simplest is to wash again and again with soap, or at worst, use a peel-off mask to pull it off.)

Other summers Tips and tools for touch-up: Cotton swabs and oil-absorbing paper are necessary. It is easy to touch up makeup on a clean face. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the base makeup, use paper towels to absorb excess oil and powder from the face. Touch-up makeup on a dirty face will become more and more effective. dirty. Sweep away excess makeup color, and use a round-headed cotton swab to wipe away excess color from eyebrows, eye shadow, eyeliner, and lips. Note that when applying excess lipstick, apply it from the outside to the inside. To cover the mottled marks, use a wet puff with a little powder, and gently press it on the scratched area. Do not rub it repeatedly on the oil-producing parts of the nose, otherwise it will destroy the original makeup style. The color you want to make up should be the same or coordinating color as the original one. Use a slightly pointed cotton swab to touch up the damaged eye shadow, and use an eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder to even out the eyebrow color.

Use a lip brush to take a small amount of lipstick, cover it with the original lipstick, and then swipe it with your mouth. The added color should be the same or coordinating color as the original. If it is a backless VR COS, it is recommended to sprinkle some loose powder on the back. So much effort has been put into it before, and if there is no unified effect, all the efforts will be wasted.

COS makeup is amazing, there is a big difference between the naked eye and the camera.

When applying makeup, you must also consider the light situation, use it on sunny days and cloudy days. The materials are also different.

At the same time, we must also consider the need for post-processing

The so-called professional makeup artists are not suitable for cosplay makeup. The outfit I use is completely different from those of professional makeup artists...

The first point for a good makeup look on location is: basic skin type

The base makeup products before applying makeup, such as lotion and lotion, must be what you usually use

The problem of makeup coming off in cold weather is solved, but dry skin and fatigue can easily make the makeup look dull.

Excessive foundation can also be overwhelming to the skin and affect makeup.

It is recommended to use lotion and BB cream as base makeup, so that the foundation is light and thin, but the effect is not reduced, and regular spraying can also ensure good condition.

The second point: the problem of eye makeup

Dark eye makeup... This is a problem of technique. The eye shadow used is wrong, or the process is missing.

The dark circles under the eyes have not been dealt with well... use concealer to deal with them, and then whiten the eyes (if you are in period costume, just use an off-white base, which can overcome the darkening of eye makeup)

< p>In ancient times, it is recommended to use brown eye shadow, combined with beige and bright white

The third point: regular makeup touch-up

This is very necessary, always bring cotton swabs and loose powder and Compact powder, and of course a mirror, adjust the status at any time

The fourth point: light and angle

You don’t necessarily need a SLR camera, as long as the light is suitable. This is the photographer’s problem, so I won’t say more

Point 5: Targeting the edema problem

Sleep well! Be sure to sleep well! Don't be too busy before the location, just sleep peacefully.

Don’t drink water before going to bed...otherwise you will develop edema...

Then after getting up, drink some black coffee to dilute water and help reduce swelling, and then do lymphatic massage on the face. Also helpful. Treat baby fat the same way.

The sixth point: the problem of rough skin

The skin must be maintained to be beautiful, otherwise PS can also be used later... In this era, PS can't do anything...

< p>The difficulty in applying makeup is due to enlarged pores. This can be adjusted using makeup primer, choose the one with pearlescent particles, pore refining essence or other pore modification products. After adjusting, it is very easy to apply makeup and the skin is smooth.

Dark skin can be corrected with pearlescent color isolation, and the pearlescent series loose powder can work well.

You must use blush, which can slim your face.

Use a dark color for blush, orange or brown, and adjust it with the highlight on the bridge of your nose, your face will look smaller

A little wordy on location

p>

Don’t go to parks or other places...

There are too many people, it’s very troublesome

It is recommended to go to scenic spots on the five days except Sunday and Saturday in winter (The kind with tickets)

There are relatively few people and the place is large, so you can find a suitable place.

Onlookers are inevitable...just get used to it

This is a process...

Also, when taking photos, try not to choose it in the afternoon...the light not good. Even if it is a SLR, it cannot achieve good results without adding an external shooting light. The light in the afternoon is yellowish and difficult to deal with.

One last thing to add... In the makeup industry, only international masters, such as Bobbi Brown, can be called professionals. In other industries, we can say the word professional, but in makeup, this word is not. Applicable.

You are always the best makeup artist. If you can take care of yourself, you must take care of yourself

I copied all the above = =+! ~
