Any makeup tutorial to look male-like?
« on: August 02, 2011, 05:37:04 pm »
Since I'll be cosplaying as Claude Faustus from Kuroshitsuji II, I already know that I need to change eyebrows. However, are there any makeup tutorials to also make your face a bit more masculine? I don't think Claude looks like a feminine looking guy. xD;

I suggest buying a highlight powder/cream, and a shadow powder/cream to accentuate jaw bone, brow bone, and nose. Maybe don't go as harsh as the woman in the video, just because seeing people up close is different than the stage, but the concept is the same. Play with the shadow and highlight to change face bone shapes. :)

Edit: I could possibly put together a picture tutorial later if you needed it. :)

That would be so helpful for me. Thank you. :D

It's my first time cosplaying as a masculine guy, so I want to prepare the makeup for it. :3

First, start with a clean face: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/bunny_7373/blankface.jpg
Next, apply foundation: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/bunny_7373/foundation.jpg
Then apply shadows to the temples, under cheekbones, sides of nose, under jaw and chin, hollow between chin and bottom lip, and under inner eyebrows: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/bunny_7373/shadowfront.jpg

Then apply highlight above shadow at temples, cheekbones, and jaw; also do the top of the nose, hairline above forehead, entire brow bone, and chin: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/bunny_7373/shadowandhighlightfront.jpg

Then apply translucent powder to set the make up, and after make touch ups to shadows and highlights (one of those pictures above has this, I don't know which one. XD)
Lastly use an eyebrow pencil in your hair color to make your eyebrows a little thicker: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/bunny_7373/eyebrows.jpg
I messed around and did a chin dimple because they seem masculine to me for some reason. XD: http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a27/bunny_7373/eyebrowsandchindimplefront.jpg
