1, facial makeup
Appliances: foundation (powder or liquid), concealer, brush, puff/firming sponge, powder honey, blush brush, blush powder, etc.
The basic order of makeup:
Apply foundation-concealer-blush
Specific operation:
Foundation-COS, especially the COS of VR, is very prone to the effect of "pie face". Obviously thin people have round faces when taking pictures.
Therefore, first of all, we need to prepare two kinds of foundations with different colors, pat the cheeks with a light foundation with a puff, and then use another puff to take a small amount of dark foundation to decorate the high parts of the face, such as the forehead and the bridge of the nose, causing deep color difference and presenting a three-dimensional effect. COSPLAYER advises not to use white powder for special effects, or to paint the powder very thick, which will not only hurt the skin, but sometimes backfire. Finally, gently pat off the floating powder on your face with a sponge.
Honey powder-cover the edema of the eyes with honey powder on the upper eyelid.
Liquid foundation-put the foundation in your hand first. Rub evenly with fingertips and heat with body temperature to improve the softness of foundation. Then apply it under your eyes. Put the liquid foundation on your cheeks and apply it radially. Apply the foundation from the cheek to the outside of the face with your fingertips, and then apply it to the center of the face. Apply foundation evenly from the forehead. Use your fingertips to push the residual liquid foundation around your eyes and on both sides of your nose. Finally, decorate with a sponge. Gently wipe and absorb the excess liquid foundation and grease, so that there will be no uneven tone.
The advantage of using liquid foundation is that it is not easy to have residual makeup, and it is not easy to destroy the original foundation with oil-absorbing paper, which is more suitable for COSPLAYER with dry skin.
Concealer-usually use your fingers directly without borrowing other makeup tools. Apply concealer around your eyes. There are usually dark circles around your eyes. Where there are small pimples or spots, you can directly apply concealer with a brush. Any cosmetic will irritate the skin. Too thick concealer will also block pores, and the more small peas cover, the more.
Blush-After applying all the foundation, you can apply blush. It should be noted that blush is not always red, and the color should be selected according to the main color of personal makeup. Blush cake and powder cake are about the same size, and eye shadow powder can be used instead when needed.
Take a small amount of color with a blush brush, first pat it on the palm of your hand to shake off the floating color, otherwise the color will be too strong, which will destroy the foundation. Even if heavy makeup is needed, blush should be applied layer by layer.
Draw a round blush centered on the highest point of the cheek. Smile and repeat the circle with the center of the cheek as the standard.
Step 2: mouth
Lipstick and lipstick and other similar cosmetics are believed to have been used by everyone. The usual usage of lip gloss is to apply it directly to the lips, sip it on the upper and lower lips, and the color will be fixed on the mouth, and then it will be shaped with a small brush, which is very easy. In order to remove makeup quickly and conveniently, people often apply a thin layer of lip balm before applying lip gloss.
Appliances: relatively simple, lip balm (according to personal needs), lipstick/lip gloss, several small brushes (different colors of lip gloss are best not to use the same brush), paper towels and so on.
The technique of revealing small lips
First, apply the lip color to the center of the lips with your fingers to make the lip peak stand out, and the mouth role is light pink. The lip color painted in the center of the lips is lightly smudged on both sides with your fingers, which makes the lip shape full of three-dimensional sense. Apply lip gloss to the middle of the lips with a lip brush, and a natural three-dimensional lip shape is born.
This method is very similar to the "face-lifting" method mentioned above, which uses the transition of color and the change of light to create a three-dimensional sense. For friends who have studied color, it should be easy to understand the truth.
Tips for keeping lipstick bright:
This is very troublesome, and it is easy to make a lot of mouths. In order to prevent the mouth from blushing, first draw a lip shape with a lip liner, then apply lipstick, gently sip off lipstick, then apply lipstick, and finally dip in blush or eye shadow powder similar to lipstick with an eye shadow brush, which will not only make the lip makeup last, but also create a pink lip makeup. In addition, applying concealer to lips and lipstick can also make lip makeup last longer. Or use a special lip care liquid, apply lip gloss and dip it in lip care liquid, so that the lips are not easy to take off makeup.
Pearlescent bright color final coating:
Special lipsticks such as pearlescent and bright colors should not be mixed with ordinary lipsticks before lip painting, which will weaken their special visual effects. It is suggested to paint "ordinary" first and then "special", which will be more layered.
First light and then deep: lipstick with different shades can't be mixed directly without a lip brush at hand. The method of shallow first and then deep can avoid the future trouble of dark color overshadowing light color.
Deep outside and shallow inside: If you are worried that the lip shape is not beautiful and full, you can use the painting method of deep outside and shallow inside, outline the outline with dark color and fill it with light color. Be sure to brush evenly between the two lip colors with a lip brush, otherwise the boundary will be too clear and unnatural.
Black and white tone: If you like a certain color of lipstick, but its brightness doesn't match your skin color, you can use black and white lipstick to directly mix with your favorite lipstick, so as to bring brightness level to the most ideal state.
Pearlescent bright color works well outdoors or on a lighted stage, and many COSPLAYER like to paint bright colors.
3. Eyes
Appliances: Eyeliner (eyeliner is expensive, so it is not recommended), mascara, eye shadow powder, eye shadow brush, cotton swab, eyelash curler, mascara ... (N strange tools are omitted below ~)
Apply eye shadow first, then eyeliner, and finally mascara. Because eye shadow usually takes a while to smudge, if you draw eyeliner first, it will be scratched. Eyelash liquid is also dizzy and difficult to clean, so put it at the end and don't confuse the steps.
When drawing eyeliner, the effect of makeup, eyeliner and eyeliner is different.
The lines of makeup and eyeliner are more detailed, and the effect is distinct and outstanding. Eyeliner lines are thicker, but most people think eyeliner is easier to use. Some eyeliner pens are specially designed, and the hardness is between the pen and the hairbrush, which is the middle choice.
The tip of the eyeliner is too hard, which irritates the skin of the eyes. To soften the tip of the eyeliner, it is best to be close to the light bulb (baked with fire/alcohol lamp/lighter, which is easy to paste), and the tip will soften after a few seconds. After each eyeliner cut, wipe off the sawdust with a paper towel, so it won't be too sharp when counting the paper towel pen.
Eye shadow always falls out in less than half a day. What should I do?
Apply concealer, foundation and crushed powder to eyes and face, and finally add eye shadow to keep eye shadow all day. Another way is to choose eye shadow with more color particles.
The essentials of applying charming eye shadow
Apply light eye shadow with a makeup brush. First, the eye shadow powder is placed in the center of the eyelid, and then applied radially to the eye socket.
Dip dark eye shadow into the tip of the upper eye with a sponge stick, then slowly apply it to the inner corner of the eye along the edge of the upper eye, apply eye shadow powder to the inner corner of the eye, and then reapply it to the tip of the eye from the inner corner of the eye along the edge of the upper eye with a sponge stick to blur the boundary between light and dark, so as to combine light and dark.
The width of dark eye shadow is generally based on the width of double eyelids. Ideally, when you open your eyes, the halo at the junction of light and dark eye shadow can be exposed to 23 mm So the best way is to always open your eyes to confirm when applying eye shadow.
However, for friends with single eyelid and inner double eyelid, it is difficult to determine the width of smearing, so it is particularly important to open your eyes when smearing. Because the halo of eye shadow shortens the distance between eyes and eyebrows, eyes look deeper and more charming.
After applying eye shadow, you can pat it gently with your fingertips to make it more firmly attached. The key point is not to let people see that there is a clear boundary between the two colors, so that the color of eye shadow and skin color can be fully and naturally blended together, leaving no trace of the connection between the two colors. If you can do this, it means that you have mastered the essentials of drawing eye shadow.
Make-up method to make small eyes look bigger
Leave a little white at the end of the eye. When drawing eyeliner, the end of the eye should be slightly upward. Use mascara to make eyelashes look longer, and paint the ends of eyes white. Draw the center of the eyeliner thicker. When drawing eyeliner, thicken the central part and use deeper eye shadow. At the end of the eye, draw it lightly. Draw two natural lines on the upper eye with a black or gray eyebrow pencil to create a double line. When drawing eye shadow, please use a brown eye shadow pen to lightly trace your eyelids in a hazy state-OK, a pair of beautiful and moving big eyes will come out!
eyelash curler
If used properly, the eyelash curler can make your eyelashes look twice as long as before.
Choose a good eyelash curler. If the rubber starts to crack, please replace it immediately.
Don't use the eyelash curler after applying the eyelash curler, because the eyelash curler may stick to it. If you loosen the eyelash curler, your eyelashes will be pulled out. Don't pull hard when using the eyelash curler, it will uproot the eyelashes.
Double pressure method: place the opened clip near the root of the upper eyelashes, and then arrange the eyelashes between the two frames of the clip. After 5 seconds, loosen the eyelash curler, move slightly to the middle of the eyelashes, and repeat this step.
Many people use eyelash curlers as hard clips, which can easily hurt eyelashes. Although it is very inconspicuous, it is a part of your body. Please be gentle, which will also help to achieve the desired effect.
Eyes and mouth are the key to good or bad makeup, because they are the two most important places on a person's face, but eyes and mouth can't stand out at the same time.
4. Eyebrows
Appliances: Eyebrow pliers, tweezers, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow brush, mirror, small scissors, skin astringent water, moisturizing cream, cotton ball, etc.
The main steps of eyebrow shaping
Eyebrow trimming is a highly skilled technique. You need to master the operation method and carefully make the ideal eyebrow shape. The main steps include:
Clean your eyebrows: Brush your eyebrows gently in front of the mirror to remove powder and dander. Use a cotton pad dipped in alcohol or astringent skin water (it is recommended to use Lingke Keli powder, which is easier to buy and cheaper) to wipe the eyebrows and the surrounding areas to make them clean.
Cover the eyebrows with a cotton ball or a hot towel soaked in warm water to soften the tissues at the eyebrows.
Determine the eyebrow shape: you can draw your own eyebrow shape first, and any eyebrows left outside the contour line are redundant. Be sure to write lightly, as long as you can see the approximate scope, and it will be very troublesome to wash it again.
Adjust the length of eyebrows. Trim the long eyebrows that grow vertically downward to a suitable length, and make them slightly shorter and longer as you get closer to them. From the eyebrows to the eyebrows, except for the bad shape, it is not advisable to cut it too short.
Shaping: remove the redundant eyebrows one by one with eyebrow pliers, so as to obtain the ideal eyebrow shape. In order to relieve the pain when pulling out eyebrows, you can apply some moisturizing cream before pulling out. When pulling, slightly tighten the skin of the eyebrows and pull them outward or upward one by one along the growth direction of the eyebrows.
Shave off the hair and excess hair around the eyebrows with a razor. After removing messy eyebrows, pat the eyebrows and surrounding skin with astringent lotion to shrink skin pores.
When finished, gently brush your eyebrows with a small brush to keep a natural position.
Eyebrow trimming can change a person's temperament and make it easier to operate in daily life.
Eyebrows are sparse, how to remedy them?
Smooth the tip of the eyebrow pencil, and then trace the eyebrow shape one by one. Then brush the eyebrow pencil several times in the same direction with the eyebrow eraser, and then wipe it off along the growth direction of the eyebrows, so that the original eyebrow pencil lines become soft.
Note: Eyebrows must not be more striking than eyes, otherwise they will appear stiff.

How to use nail polish correctly
Dressing a
According to the needs of COS, the oval, square, pointed and so on are trimmed.
Trim the nail surface
Use nail file to remove the unevenness on the nail surface.
nail polish
Apply primer first (transparent nail polish is ok, and many places also sell cheap nail polish), and then apply it evenly and smoothly from the middle of the nail to both sides. Note that the brush used for nail painting should be painted at a 45-degree angle with the nail surface.
Step 6 remove makeup
There are two kinds of dirt on the skin, one is sebum and water-soluble dirt polluted in daily life, and the other is oily dirt such as cosmetics. Water-soluble dirt can be easily removed only by ordinary facial cleanser; The grease of cosmetics can't be cleaned unless it is a makeup remover with oil as the main component.
The basic method of choosing makeup remover must be based on the adhesion of foundation to skin. If you don't completely remove makeup, the dirt left behind will lead to bad sequelae such as pigmentation, black spots and acne. The first condition for removing makeup is that you must never be stingy with the amount of makeup. I bought a brand-name makeup remover, but I can't bear to use it more. I might as well change into a cheap makeup remover. If you can't do thorough cleaning because you lose weight, it will damage your skin health. Isn't it a penny wise and pound foolish?
In addition, remember not to massage while removing makeup, so as not to put the cosmetics that have surfaced hard back into the pores, which is simply not worth the candle. If you really want to massage your skin, you must remove makeup first, and then massage with makeup remover or massage cream.
There are many ways to remove makeup, and only a few representative methods can be provided here. Therefore, before using the new makeup remover, please read the instruction manual attached to the product carefully.
If you want to remove makeup quickly and thoroughly, it must be cleansing oil. Cleansing oil will be oily after dissolving the foundation, and it will change when it meets water, and it will be emulsified into white. If the dirt is emulsified but not dissolved, the cleaning effect will be greatly reduced, so please keep your face and hands dry when using cleansing oil. In addition, because the oil can't be washed with water alone, it must be thoroughly removed with facial cleanser to avoid the sequelae of acne and dull skin color.
Liquid makeup remover: suitable for oily skin and light makeup with a little honey powder.
Gel makeup remover: for medium to oily skin, use only honey powder and liquid foundation for makeup.
Emulsion makeup remover: neutral skin, only use honey powder and liquid foundation for makeup.
Cream makeup remover: for moderate to dry skin, make up with honey powder, liquid foundation, persistent liquid foundation and persistent liquid foundation.
Oily makeup remover: for moderate to dry skin, make up with honey powder, liquid foundation, persistent liquid foundation and persistent liquid foundation cream.
Eye and lip makeup remover: strengthen the cleaning of key parts, suitable for cosmetics in specific parts such as mascara, eye shadow and lipstick.

Small ways to make up in summer
Tools: Cotton swabs and oil-absorbing paper are necessary.
It is easy to make up on a clean face. In order to ensure the cleanliness of the makeup, use paper towels to absorb the excess oil and powder on your face, and the dirty face makeup will become more and more dirty.
Sweep away excess makeup, and use a cotton swab with a round head to wipe off the overflowing colors of eyebrows, eye shadow, eyeliner and lips. Note that extra lipstick should be applied from the outside to the inside.
Cover the mottled marks, dip a little powder with a wet puff and gently press it on the scratch. Never rub the parts of your nose that secrete more oil repeatedly, otherwise it will destroy the original makeup.
The complementary color should be the original same color or coordinated color, the damaged eye shadow should be repaired with a slightly pointed cotton swab, and the eyebrows should be dyed evenly with eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder. Take a little lipstick from the lip brush, cover it on the original lipstick, and then sip it with your mouth. Complementary colors should be the same color or coordinated color.
If it is a bare-backed VR COS, it is recommended to sprinkle some loose powder on the back. There is so much effort ahead. Without a unified effect, all previous efforts were in vain. Only this, oh, no picture ~
