Everyone. Needs a primer. You GOT to get that cosplay make up to STAY because these cons these days, you are out all day and night and sometimes, outside! A primer needs to do its magic. This is my favorite! More pricey. But so so so worth it! It fee...

Again, ALWAYS go with a primer! If I need a more budget friendly option, this is definitely my choice! Nothing beats elf when it comes to bang for your buck here.

This is THE white crayon for all your cosplay needs! It's perfect for that undereye to give you that larger look for animated characters. Trust me. It works.

Many a character, you NEED a little bit of eyeshadow! And I tell you, cosplaying from JOJO to Tokyo Revengers. Colour Pop has not failed me once!

They have the most beautiful shade of black that I religiously use for cosplay! But be careful, although I love it. It's super drying. So be careful if intending to wear it like 8+ hours.

A powder! To set that foundation, concealer, whichever however you decide. Always go with translucent so you don't mess up your shade! Elfs powder is never a miss. Plus, affordable!

This is for that sit and finish. The all done. This is gonna make it all stay all day. Nyx has really good setting sprays, but my personal favorite is the plump finish! Feels nice on the skin.

Nothing BEATS quite like the OG. The beauty blender. It has never done me no wrong as a cosplayer. Some tactics serve better with a brush or finger but in the end. Always need that blender.

I promise you. Working with your finger to blend, tap, dab- it works. But never as smooth as having the right brush. Getting my JOJO make up to be deep and defined? I NEEDED brushes. The elf set is perfect to start with!

Always, always! Need a simple contact case for those colored contacts! Nothing jazzy. Something cheap. These get lost all the time inbetween cons so I never waste a lot on fancy ones. These never do me wrong!
