Wig and Costume Tutorials!

[SaraSadistic]

So this is random but I am trying to find a decent mask for my Catwoman cosplay. I have the standard one that comes with the Halloween version but I honestly don't like it very much. All the others I have found online are just icky. I'm doing the Gotham City Sirens version.

Hey guys, I added Lockshop and Fanplusfriend to the list of Where to Buy. If anyone has had bad experiences with either of these, please tell me.

Any advice on making Vocaloid magnet headphones? Mine barely survived Ichibancon :p

Here's a useful tutorial I found for coloring your eyebrows~!

I wonder how hard it is to get the glue off.

[MinaUchiha2]

That stuff did not work for me, the glue came off while I was putting the eyeshadow over it. I may not of waited long enough or to long.

~.~ coloring eyebrows is one of the hardest things to do, in my opinion.

I've use Beyond the Zone hair dye for mine...I'm pretty sure Marzi taught me that lol. Of course that only works with non-natural colors. If I need to make mine lighter (mine are dark brown) then I used a combination of white eyeliner and a blond color stick used to cover grey roots. It isn't perfect but it works.

[Marzipan]

Yup, you sure did! You learned from the master. ;] I have green, red, blue, and pink. It works SO good. But after checking online I noticed that they have blonde.

;lakdjf;lakdjf BLONDE?!

Also must have. Getting my eyebrows blonde is such a pain. I do have like a bright yellow for a cosplay I'm doing but I'm pretty sure it would look ridiculous with a natural blonde wig.

I'm going as Claude Faustus from Kuroshitsuji season 2, I have the spikes that don't have to stick up, but how do I get the part of the wig to stick up and stay that way? I tried got2b freeze spray, but it doesn't keep it sticking up. Anyone know what I could use to keep it sticking up?

Those wigs look gorgeous!

I would like to suggest MintyMix.com for wigs! They're a lesser known website, but I just got one from them a few months ago, and it is super high quality for a good price. And you get a cute free gift with every purchase!

[oglop_master]

Can we add Epic Cosplay? The pictures on their website don't look all that great, but their wigs are actually really high quality, and look awesome. I've got a couple, and I've had experience with ones that friends have gotten, and they are absolutely worth the buy. They fit perfectly (and I mean perfectly), they're so soft, and just great overall. You will not be disappointed.

[PuppetQueen]

added both! It feels good to know I won't have to take any more risks when it comes to wig shopping. :>

Any advice on making Alto Angelo from Devil May Cry 4?

I'm having a hugee problem, i have a long black curly wig, and its starting to get tangled! When i try to use a hair brush to untangle it, it makes it worse, how do I fix it?

[Marzipan]

You need to be sure you are using a wig brush specifically for synthetic hair. If I were in your shoes I would:

Wash the wig using proper synthetic shampoo and conditioner.
After washing comb out tangles gently and carefully with a wig comb.
Let dry.
Spray with Motions Oil Sheen spray (found at walgreens)
Brush gently.

You may have to recurl it if the curls wash out, if you need help with that let me know.

You can do as Marzipan suggested, and if you like there is a tutorial on this very issue that you could take a look at here http://mooglegurl.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4r2ped I've found it to be helpful with my own wig. Best of luck!

[Tenbyou]

does anyone know a tutorial for Ino's shirt from Naruto (original basic)? I've looked all over but haven't been able to find one.

[DudettRin101]

I haven't really had any problems with the wigs I've gotten from CosplayMagic...Then again, so far, I've only bought short wigs from them.


Anyways, I have a question. I have a really long wig that I got for my Konata cosplay that has been tangled since the first time I wore it. I've tried for hours at a time to untangle the dang thing but have been entirely unsuccessful. Any ideas?
