Hi Lydia!

It depends on what kind of look you're going for =o Are you wanting to look cute, sophisticated, sexy?

Hey Renee! From what it sounds like, it is a time to celebrate Japanese culture and animation =) Many people work hard on putting together costumes and amazing hair and makeup to look like their favorite characters =)! It is about festivities and fun and a great learning experience!

So lucky!! What character were you going to cosplay? You can always do the makeup part and wear a cute t-shirt.

A super easy and cute kitty you can do is one wearing pajamas. For makeup, of course enlarged eyes are a must. Some ways to do that is to draw your black eyeliner thicker in the middle of the eye and putting white eyeshadow or eyeliner on the insides of the corner of the eye. Circle lenses are also a must! Brown is the best to use =)! Keep the makeup girly, like pink blush and peach lip gloss. You can also do a pinkish red lipstick too and wear clear gloss!

Yea!! My bf just had the idea of tifa in final fantasy her costume is quite simple!! But I have glasses and I think it might ruin it what do you guys think?

Tifa

Or misty from pokemon but then again the glasses -_-

You can still make it work by wearing glasses!! Plus, I don't think there's Otaku fashion police. lol I can also understand the pain of glasses in cosplay, which is why I've invested in colored contacts/circle lenses! I can't think of any characters that have glasses, and their outfits are simple...! I think on limited time, Tifa's outfit will be easier to find at stores than Misty's (and her hair color), unless you've got both of their outfits already handy! ;)

Lydia, sorry for the late reply! I kind of lost this thread as I was browsing through other things @.@

One of the best places to go for circle lenses is pinkyparadise.com. They're decently priced and they have prescription up to -10.00. They also provide free cases for your lenses =)!

As for a picture...I am not actually at my own laptop but at work =X! I will post one up as an example and then when I get home I will post one of when I did a kitty look =)!
