The foundation looks so smooth and natural from the pictures.
Maybe a lip liner to add some definition to the outside of the lips? A slightly darker blue/black/brown/purple perhaps?
Absolutely amazing! It’s so even and smooth. Along with the lip liner like someone said I think you could play around with some color variation. For example: you’re blue, try using some purple around your darker areas and green/yellow around your lighter areas. If true blue is the way you want to go however, I think you nailed it.
Are you using a purple blush? It would match the undertones.
Contouring is good but you could do even more. Unnatural skin colors are going to need tons of carving to differentiate with that level of coverage.
Do your lekku ever rub against your cheeks/jaw? You should test that out with a prolonged makeup test if you haven’t yet. It probably needs a couple coats of sealer instead of a regular amount if they touch your face a lot.
I tried a purple/blue but it backfired so bad so I didn't even include it
And yeah this bad boy is so heavily sealed
I got my translucent setting powder, and a couple coats of cheap hairspray (because weirdly that's nicer to my skin than alcohol setting spray)
And that's holding for now
Seconding the part about the lekku rubbing paint off - I cosplayed a tiefling with kinda poorly secured (ram-like) horns recently that ended up rubbing against my face and they took my face paint clean off in the spots where they touched my face. Even well sealed paint still falls victim to friction
IMO it could use some heavier contouring though. There are two kinds of make up: one that looks good in person and one that looks good on pictures. In cosplay, always choose the pics! First, you have better keepsakes and second, a costume-y look is not frowned upon, but often even enhances the look
it may just be the lighting but the contour is a bit hard to see, don't be scared to be super dramatic with it! lots of contrast would help this look I think but you look stunning
It might just be the photos, but I'd say add a little more dimension. Heavier contour and highlights can help your makeup look less flat, especially around the eyes! You can try layering eyeshadow to create a more 3d look around the eyes instead of just eyeliner.
