Cosplay questions from confused dad, please don’t hurt me. đ Trying to help finish my daughter’s cosplay last minute since we found out last night we can make Connecticon after all.(r/homestuck)
I can help!!!!!!
It sounds like your daughter is cosplaying Aradia Megido
Ok, I have a giant post on makeup [here] (www.reddit.com/r/homestuck/comments/1fb1df/cosplay…) that may help you (sorry about the profanity). But I’ll try to condense it down to points for a younger cosplayer.
In your situation, I would 100% recommend Snazzaroo brand paint. It’s a water-activated makeup that you apply with a damp makeup sponge.
To seal it, she will need a sealant. This is necessary for anyone wearing body paint. If not, the paint gets on everything, and other people get very, very angry about it. Seriously, if the sealant is unavailable, I would really highly suggest that she not wear the makeup at all, which is completely understandable/common for casual Homestuck Troll (the species of the character) cosplays.
EDIT: haha wow I wasn’t expecting gold. Thank you to whoever that was!
