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'.

Yeah, that's my big problem - almost all the tutorials I've found are for somewhat feminine-appearing people aiming to look more feminine, which is not my direction. I actually totally hadn't thought about blush, but now that you mention it, that would solve my 'flourescent lights make me look like a zombie in photos' problem

XD Yeah, it would. When you use foundation and it makes your skin ALL ONE TONE, sometimes a little pink to give it natural color that is taken away by the foundation is good. I mean, unless you're going for broken!Rufus, in which by all means do the dead skin thing. :D And some black eye makeup smudged on your hand, of course. ahahaha.
