COSPLAYERS PLEASE READ
I finally did a makeup test today. I've never worn eye makeup before, and I did this in a huge hurry, and I mean HUGE hurry. So be aware it's not as smooth a makeup job as it will (hopefully) be on Saturday. Also, I don't have any eyeliner, I'll pick some up before I go. But beyond that, I'd like a little feedback if you have a moment, especially if you do cosplay or acting or photography or anything that involves makeup for costuming purposes. Also here you can see some of my new wig, and the new choker I made and the lovely necklace the lovely Ashaela made for me. :)
Beware, fat cosplayer ahead, yadda yadda...

I forgot to put the forehead sigil on, but it's just as well since I was really pressed to hurry and do this without ending up being late for work. Up close... I dunno... but it's passable, IMO, being that in most people's pictures it's going to be a smaller size like this:

And it looks a lot better from a distance. ^^; I didn't put on my gloves for this photo, either, but I do have them and they do cover up my fat arms, thank goodness. :P I will also (hopefully) be making earrings tomorrow afternoon.
Comments/tips? Too much/not enough? Bad lipstick color? Etc? I'm a bit concerned about the wig, it seems smaller and thinner than the first one I made. :\ I may bring both to the con just in case. The bangs, also, need a little fixing, I didn't have time to do it today. And one of the shoulder decorations on the dress came unglued over the winter; I'll fix that tomorrow.
Thanks for your input :)
