As a cosplayer I think makeup/skincare/beauty is very important. Make up helps a lot when taking photos. Now I don't wear a lot of make up but even just A LITTLE bit helps with how you look and how photos taken of you turn out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnYKdYFD9S8Q:Buying Stuff?
A: DRUGSTORE. There the best. Don't splurge on expensive make up brands. Go to stores like Wallgreens, Wallmart, Target, Freddies etc. to get your make up. Everything I list is basically from a drugstore. (And this is the stuff I like to use :3)
Eyeliner:
Pencil: Cover Girl Perfect Point Plus Eye Pencil
Liquid Liner: Wet n Wild liquid smudge proof liner (also available in water proof)
Gel Liner: Mabelline Eye Studio
Foundation, Powder and Concealer: Cover Girl
Mascara: What I like to you is Maybelline's Pulse Perfection Vibrating Mascara. It actually works REALLY good. Any mabelline mascara is amazing BTW. Also proper mascara application is important.
*on a side note DO NOT, I MEAN DO NOT use Mabelline's Great lash Mascara!!! As cheap as it is it really sucks. A LOT. I tried using it after hearing all the negative comments and its totally true. Believe me. Go spend your money on something better.
Eyeshadow: Im not really sure on this.... I usually by you know drugstore stuff thats all
Make up remover? OLIVE OIL
ALSO SKIN CARE IS VERY IMPORTANT! Having healthy skin is important! Also gettin rid of acne, scarring and all that yucky stuff
Flawless Skin makeup:

Washing your face every day helps too!
Need to get rid/ prevent acne? Try using an asprin face mask.

What I like to use to keep my face clean and free of acne:

Olive oil is good for your skin! :3
***MONEY SAVING TIPS***
*CHECK THE CLEARANCE SECTION*
Yes I always check the clearance section of a store. Sometimes I find great stuff there for cheaper. The other day I found my favorite mascara in a clearance section for 2$
it was originally around 10$ STEAL there was only a tiny tear on the packaging.
*CHECK FOR SALES*
*ONLY BUY WHAT YOU NEED*
For Skincare going natural = cheaper and cleaner!
Thats all I have folks NOW START POSTING XD
also IDK on body make up etc. XD
