For the Cosplayers on my F-list

Make-up: how do you get good at it? Just practice? Or is there some sort of great secret I should know? Because I like to think my sewing skills are pretty good, but my inability to style hair or apply make-up makes most of the photos look varying amounts of 'average' to 'fail'.

Haha, I am so far behind I don't even know what needs work. I only started using make up for cosplay, and only when I was like...fifteen or so XD So I missed out on a lot of the background. I'm kind of trying to move beyond the 'foundation is good, wear it!' beginnings. these (http://tokyo-tower.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=3928&g2_navId=xb0a3f2a0) were (http://tokyo-tower.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=3932&g2_navId=xb0a3f2a0) some (http://tokyo-tower.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=3935&g2_navId=xb0a3f2a0) test shots trying to do do hair and make-up for Rufus ShinRa. I don't even know where to begin on the girl cosplays (http://tokyo-tower.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=5137&g2_navId=xb0a3f2a0) XD

Yeah, I need to get some better foundation - the one I have looks good in some lighting, but gets a bit zombie-shiny-white sometimes (http://www.tokyo-tower.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=2836). I hadn't thought of using eyeliner on the guys - I'm always afraid of my eyes looking too huge white girl as-is. Experimentation time! And that tutorial is very in-depth - probably good for the more feminine characters, though.
