Cosplay 101: Updated Cosplay Makeup Tutorial || MangoSirene

[@ziviarich220]

The other video: ya so I'm using this 50 cent eyeshadow I bought from a shady man in an alleyway This video: ok so we're gonna spend 800 bucks at Sephora but it's gonna be lit ok

[@MangoSirene]

Let this be the legacy of my character development

[@spork861]

My make-up advice for eyebrows if you don't want to shave them off: Try as good as possible to get near the shape you want by plucking or carefully using a razor, then when applying foundation use plenty on the eyebrows, which will makes them less visible, but still visible enough to use. Then use eye-shadow in the color you want the eyebrows to be, and use a wet angled brush to draw on the eyebrows. This works damn well for me, I have nicely super colored eyebrows in the shape I want, and after I remove the make-up I still have mostly normal looking eyebrows.

[@crobutts1230]

Ive heard that the nyx angel veil primer is a dupe for the hourglass one in case anyone doesn't want to pay the price for the hourglass one! I've never personally tried both so don't take my word for it, but that's just what I've heard.

[@missylyttle]

Watching the last makeup tutorial and then this one is such a cool then and now! I'm so proud of how far you've come, and it's been so cool watching your videos (for like 5 years now or something omg) to see updates! 'Better Than Sex' is my ride or die mascara, and if you ever find it getting clumpy (especially on lower lashes) or leaving little black bumps underneath the eyes, I've found that a primer for the mascara really helps me out to keep it in place (even with the setting spray!) Dior has a nicer primer with a plumping effect, or even Maybelline has a 'Voluminous' primer that I've had success with! Thanks so much for this video, Nina! You make being a patron so fun and worth it every month!

[@MangoSirene]

Ahhh, gosh, thank you so much for sticking with me all these years~! ;A; And thank you for the product rec, I'll be sure to check out that lash primer if I ever need it! I usually only have that problem when my tube is running low but it'd be helpful for avoiding a disaster at a con xD

[@missylyttle]

Thank you for continuing this channel and for opening Patreon! It's been a blast :D

[@dreamlesswarrior4571]

Let me just say: Your channel has helped me so much to upgrade my cosplay skills this past year, and I really can't thank you enough. Your probably one of the best things that has happened to my cosplay career.

[@nicolelikeshetalia2614]

I'm cosplaying as a white haired character _I GUESS I HAVE TO DRAW ON MY EYEBROWS GREY_

[@amandagillen-ford2970]

can u do a video on binding

[@carolinehope2638]

yeah

[@maxskellington910]

Really binding IS NOT HARD. Just buy a chest binder online, it's easy. There are like $15 dollar ones online. Just DON'T use ace bandages, they can damage your ribs and make it hard for you to breath. As a trans person I know basically everything about binding that a person would need to know, and tbh the biggest rules is to not be stupid about it. It's always much safter to buy binders then to make them, because you never know If the material you used might be damaging.

[@amandagillen-ford2970]

Ferret Child thanks

[@InnerUtopia]

Can I just say how much I love the background music in this video?? It's so sweet and adorable! ^.^ I also love seeing how your makeup skills and techniques have developed over the years. I don't think your routine from all those years ago is bad at all (in fact I still do pretty much the exact same thing for cosplay nowadays) but I've never even thought about drawing lashes with eyeliner or anything like that before. There's always new stuff to learn!! :D

[@MangoSirene]

Drawing lashes like this isn't something I'd do for *every* character, but yeah, it definitely helps when you're going for a more cartoony/anime look! Really you just want to pay attention to the way the black lines are drawn around the character's eye in your reference art, then use eyeliner to translate those black lines to your own eye shape. I hope that makes sense! xD

[@ZombiesEatRaiyne]

You've come so far, Nina! I'm so proud and happy for you. I remember watching your first couple of C101 videos for wigs and makeup. Thank you for inspiring me all these years, I've enjoyed watching you grow!

[@cahayarosenberry]

I can't wait for that room tour! I've always loved the parts of your room that you show in your videos, and I really wanna see how you set it up!

[@XenoCosplay]

Hi Nina, I've been watching your videos for years and I remember watching your original cosplay makeup video! Back then I had very low self-esteem and I always WANTED to cosplay, I just didn't have the confidence. But thanks you youtubers like you I finally went out and made my own costume, and now here we are years later and I'm in this amazing community and have this weird, wonderful hobby that makes me so happy! I even uploaded my first ever KZbin video yesterday. I just wanted to say that I really love this community, it's so welcoming and encouraging and I honestly think it helped me become the person I am today! ❤️

[@BloodMoonFairy]

It's so weird, I started watching your channel way back when you came out with that first cosplay makeup tutorial! You've come so far!!

[@MangoSirene]

You've been missed in the streams! Hopefully we'll see you in chat again soon

[@MoonBerry22]

Hourglass is also my favorite primer!! I've been living off of Sephora samples though since the actual size is so expensive >,< I'm still not brave enough to shave my eyebrows off, and like your problem, my brows are super dark and thick, so I just wax and pluck and hope for the best because there's no covering these bad boys. It's definitely great seeing how far you've come from that first makeup video!

[@benrhines9406]

I just have to say that I love this video! I found your channel for the very first time by watching your old make up tutorial and I loved it so much I subscribed. I watch every video you post and for me you're an inspiration when it comes to cosplaying. You've helped me so much with so many subjects and you're one of the first sources I turn to for when I need help with my own cosplaying problems. I've had my very first photoshoots just recently, even though I've been closet cosplaying at conventions for almost one year. I absolutely love this hobby and spend many hours of my time tinkering away with various materials. I hope that I can really give back to this amazing community one day and inspire others, just as you have inspired me. Even though I know I have a very long way to go, I feel confident that I'll get there one day. Thank you so much for doing this, and keep being awesome! Love ~

[@birb.9684]

It would be totally cool to see a tutorial of face/body paint or just simple tips on the subject! Have an awesome day!~

[@claire-9709]

I've only recently started experimenting with make up for cosplay (I used to just stick to my normal routine) but you and your friends always look amazing it's very inspiring!

[@spork861]

At 3:18 when you pause at the moment she looks down it reminds me of Junkrat from Overwatch, extremely similar hair.

[@YukiSilverFox72]

Yay room tour! And dudes, I am so excited to test out some of these make-up tips!

[@50ShadesofFandom]

Watching your videos is always so relaxing! Your music choices, voice, and video quality make your videos a joy to watch. ♥!

[@kaisla7446]

Aaaaa I'm cosplaying ginko too and this and your other cosplay video on her are so helpful thank youuu

[@scrapingskies]

aw I remember watching that original makeup video when it first came out! baby nina :'D this video looks great, btw!

[@ccanzius]

When you blend the foundation down your neck, how do you keep it from getting on your shirt collar? Especially when you're wearing like white button down shirt for a school uniform.

[@PastelKidd]

You are so talented and amazing! I love your cosplays and you! Thank you for being an encouragement of mine to keep cosplaying.

[@JellyBearsz]

THANK YOU FOR THIS I'm still trying to find what fits for cosplay makeup (right now I do so little) but I always looked so washed out on camera, thanks for the tips!!

[@ellebow1500]

I actually didn't know about not using glittery highlights for photoshoots. I am addicted to shimmery highlights, but I've never had //real photoshoots done before. I do have some coming up so I'm really glad I learned that lol great video!

[@MangoSirene]

Yeah, glittery/shimmery highlighter looks fantastic in person (or even on video), but camera flash can reflect *too* much light off it and actually make your skin appear greasy/oily, especially in dark con hallways. I found that out the hard way over the years. xD

[@eyesonmarymahaney1731]

The contacts that you put in are they prescription or nonprescription contact lenses because I’m trying to see if my eye doctor can order me a set of brown circle lenses for my cosplay so that way I won’t have to worry about trying to find brown circle lenses and then messing my eyes up because my eyes are so unique I want to be able to see when I go to the anime con in May

[@Manifestwit]

WOW! I'm so happy that you improve over the years i've been watching you. ^^ one of my favorite youtuber cosplayers! Love you!

[@le_blehblehbleh]

Not what I was looking for, but still fun to watch. Nice Video :3

[@ViolentOrchid]

I did Lulu from yuri kuma with a group of friends a year ago, so glad other people are doing it too. super fun!

[@MangoSirene]

Yeah! I wore my full Ginko cosplay back at Katsucon this year~ :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5y6l6N8br6HjMk

[@TaraFYW]

You look amazing! I love how you did the eyeliner; very unique! :) xo

[@tweetspie06]

This is so perfect! I can use most of these products for my Rose Quartz cosplay and I don't have to start from zero not knowing what to buy

[@danielleannefortuno6169]

you actually remind me of Alice from the Twilight Series with this look. love your vids tho, I subscribed !

[@MindOverMatter841]

My heart broke when you said "I shaved my brows" lol Makeup looks great.

[@soapi3112]

Pretty sure you're first Cosplay Make up video is what helped me find your channel. Oh how your cosplay make up has changed. Glad to see you're not using make up that might give you cancer XD Honestly I do get more expensive make up for cosplay because it's a good investment especially when it comes to foundation. Though cosplay make up can sometimes be my favorite part cosplay... And when con season starts for me I'm highly considering shaving my brows because curse you black, thick hair! *waves fists*

[@jodineutron]

Oh I love this tutorial! Yuri Kuma Arashi destroyed my life because i love bears and you're the perfect Ginko!

[@evarush2161]

Do you think you could make a cosplay 101 video on making your own patterns?

[@afroeccentrix]

Okay but when you're looking down to put on your eyeliner can I just say your lashes are popping--holy shit you have nice, full, dark lashes!

[@OpheliaCyber]

Your makeup looks awesome!!!!

[@OpheliaCyber]

I like the eyeliner idea of drawing the lashes in. Good tip!

[@katiememes8693]

Question? Will you be going to Fanboy Expo in Tennessee?

[@allisondowns9631]

I just realized I bought those same false eyelashes yesterday. x3

[@87Mippy]

I like to use model in a bottle to set the makeup. a little goes a long way and lasts all day!

[@cosplaygeeky6017]

How did you make her costume and it would cool to show us how you did it

[@maddy7001]

Honestly though, you look amazing without make up :D

[@Alistair.Althea]

I followed your old makeup video and just use a primer and BB cream. But I splurged and bought a covergirl powder foundation for a little more coverage. Would that be ok to use as well as the BB cream? Because I usually use the Coty airspun power to set my foundation.

[@kikirisu9201]

ah the wig is awesome, from where did you buy them?

[@Muse041]

You're such a beautiful Ginko ahhhh I cosplay Lulu and I was wondering what it's like to be at the convention in the paws? I'm worried about walking around but I really want to go as Lulu

[@MangoSirene]

It was a little tricky to walk around but honestly really fun~! xD

[@peridot_179]

Your amazing ❤

[@synthiasparkle6482]

Wow :o this is amazing!

[@shrimptrash2274]

I don’t know why I’m watching this since I don’t wear makeup with cosplay, and don’t any makeup, but this was still helpful for future references.

[@rosexeno6151]

Idk if it's just the way you look in this video, but you would make a fantastic mercy from Overwatch!!! You already have blonde hair, and you have similar. Facial features to her!!!

[@aeriellemitchell9382]

You're silly. You were gorgeous then and you're gorgeous now.

[@maskedfoxx7173]

How much commit. I don't have it in me to shave my brows. I maybe clip them if I'm performing, but otherwise just color over them.

[@Rakned]

Are you going to make / have you already made a video about makeup for male characters? If not, do you have any advice on where I should look?

[@user-rw1ft1sp2e]

Parker Sprague she did look in the playlist

[@snowbubblemonster]

Thank you for sharing an updated version of your cosplay makeup routine. ^__^ What is your skin type? My skin is really oily, so it's difficult to find matte makeup that stays matte during sweaty conventions. Y__Y

[@sarahdykhuizen5501]

Hey, I know you are very busy with other displays and have a whole bunch of other cosplay 101 videos. But if you could do a how to make weapons cosplay 101 I would love that. If it could include how to paint and style them that would be great too! Thanks!

Awesome video! Do you have any plans of doing a makeup tutorial for male characters? :)

[@MangoSirene]

I've already done a crossplay makeup tutorial! :3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5-lZ4lopcxrqLc

[@XxTrineyxX]

Omg, I had forgotten about this video. Thank you! :D

[@magicalrandomness9468]

That video was my first one of ur videos :)

[@Ronanmil]

You're so amazing very big fan 😍😍

[@GamingSuccub]

Your routine is so similar to mine, right down to the products!! I also use Make Up For Ever Ultra HD in the shade Y225 or 117 and omg, its so great for my skin. And with the Ultra HD Concealer, both products just make my skin look soo much better and make it glow. ^///^

[@kirby_tardigrade]

Hey! I really enjoy your videos, not only are they helpful, they're pretty fun to watch. So, I'm working on a cosplay and it would be the first time I'd do makeup, ever (obviously I'll practice before the con though, haha). I don't have any family members who I can ask about makeup either. What products would you recommend an absolute beginner with a tight budget to start out with? If you or someone else could help out, I'd really appreciate it!

[@kirby_tardigrade]

I have bought things and I think they're okay--

[@amly7046]

I know I'm a bit late, and I'm in the same situation as you. I'm also not MangoSirene, but I would like to help out a bit. So, I don't want to really awkwardly ask my parents for makeup, so I'm doing it subtly. As for places to GET makeup, hush.com or hush (the app) seems to be working out for me so far, though I haven't made any purchases. When you sign up you get a free product of your choosing as a gift. Wish.com works too, though again, haven't made any purchases (specifically makeup, and I was quite happy with my other purchases), and Wish does take forever to ship things to you (A month or two, depending. Sometimes they will come early, but what can you expect from a Chinese website?). Working with Wish can be hard because unless you have a ton of reviews on a product, it's hard to count on the website/app to give you good stuff. With Wish its sometimes a 50/50 chance but it's usually decent stuff, considering the VERY cheap price, and you can find just about anything there but food (And I don't suggest buying clothing, just look at the Wish hauls haha, though I've seen really nice clothing). Both Wish and hush can get you things very cheap and you can try out a bunch of stuff with them because of their low priced-ness, you can also dig around the internet or KZbin for different websites, apps, and stores. Anyways, I hope I was helpful to you!

[@amandahigirl]

Random question... is there anything wrong with only wearing one contact? because I want to cosplay a girl with one brown and one pink eye and I'm not sure if there are really any dangers or anything like it looking weird from wearing only one contact (because I have naturally brown eyes)

[@ElizaArika]

Just wearing one contact will look very weird especially since contacts are usually larger and look very different from your real iris. It'll look lopsided. It would be better to wear two contacts of different colors but the same design.

[@doukzu]

It's a good thing I'm watching these videos because I didn't even know that prepping your face for makeup was a thing...

[@Moggleberries]

Honestly cosplay make up is just my normal make up but with foundation and powder added XD (for me)

[@celestekittie]

Does BB creme count as a primer or am I just being a derp using it as one?

[@keicie2743]

It counts as a primer even maybe a foundation +Celeste Kittie

[@bubbleteaifyable]

it doesn't count. primer is used to help the foundation/bb cream adhere to your face and go on smoother. bb cream just acts acts as a lighter coverage foundation with skincare benefits :)

[@celestekittie]

Thanks

[@cielducklings4819]

I NEEED A BODY PAINT TUTORIALLLLL Mango, pls help

[@olyvyaboatright7238]

Okay, so I've got really golden skin and have a hard time getting it to look pale without making the foundation look cakey. Tips?

[@illybenjamin3836]

Olyvya Boatright Why would you want it to be pale tho? If the foundation does not match your skin color it will look really bad and ashy. Just embrace you skin color and use a foundation that actually matches!

[@olyvyaboatright7238]

Illy Benjamin because like every anime/game character is super pale, and I've seen people do it without it looking bad and ashy, I just don't know how. Most characters don't have skin the color of a chicken nugget.

[@PUNKSLUDGE]

I'm too scared to shave my intense brows, so I'm going to experiment with making some sort of eyebrow bald caps when I get the funds. If it works out and people want to see my methods maybe I'll document it for the community.

[@allisondowns9631]

HollyTheHylian did it work out?

[@laurenpierre-louis8320]

is makeup so easy to vanish that primer is necessary

[@HawkssmermaidArt]

I went to two comic cons. I go to next year's comic con and I'm go as a Character from Space Pirate Captain Harlock. Character I made for the show. My character name is Rosanna Maya Harlock daughter of Captain Harlock.

[@if1u1gone1]

i wish you did more videos on youtube :(

[@MangoSirene]

I upload a new video every week! If I gain more support on Patreon (patreon.com/mangosirene), that would allow me to quit one of my six jobs and focus on making more KZbin videos. :)

[@if1u1gone1]

+MangoSirene wow that's a lot! good luck and I really hope for you to come that far :)

[@zipa-cha1478]

"eyeliner is the most important" oh god I can't put on eyeliner at all my eyelids are so weird they're like almost hooded and my eyebrows are so close to my eyes. ughh it's so frustrating that my sister has to do it for me all the time haha

[@voidedmuffin]

i feel you with the THICC eyebrows

[@kendrapoisson7513]

What anime is this character from?

[@mangledvlogsindiepunkgirl3056]

My eye brows are too dark to draw on the new brows or hide them

[@user-rw1ft1sp2e]

Mangled Vlogs Indie Punk Girl use a basic gluestick

[@annapuccioni7899]

Hi,i have a lot of mole in my face ,and i have to cosplay an anime character that Dont have any mole , how can i cover them? Actualy i have a really pale skin and i can't find any foundation that can cover them 😭 P.S sorry for my bad english but i come from italy 😰

[@laurelhobert3941]

While I guess it's a little bit easier for me as I have freckles which are more flat to the skin than moles would be, what I've found to work quite nicely is color correcting and concealing. You can use a color wheel for help with this. A little bit of pale blue should be the opposite of brown like a mole or freckle. But make sure this is underneath your concealer and foundation or it might look a little like a bruise! For concealer, IT cosmetics has a lovely one with both a concealer and a brightener to even out tone. I hope this helps! By the way, your English is fine. I'm learning to speak Spanish and it's not easy to pick up a new one

[@annapuccioni7899]

Thank you :)

[@kellywhite3501]

Why do you shave your eyebrows?

[@MangoSirene]

I explain in the video, lol

[@kellywhite3501]

I had to shave off half of my eyebrows when I did Starfire

[@SaramewTV]

Is your girlfriend dressing up as Kureha or Lulu?! ;o;

[@asurin_6411]

excuse me, but why "101"?
