Ok I am working on one of the last pieces of my Mr. Popo cosplay and it is easily the one I have spent the most time tinkering with. The eyes! Originally considered doing just make-up, but I wanted the big rounded eye effect. So I started with some small glass circles I had that were around the right size and I used markers, and nail polish, and even considered fabrics. The best I got was with the nail polish. There they are in my pic lookin pretty Popo-esqe, but I didn't want to have to build a frame to hold them on my face and things were pretty blurry. Then I tried some acrylic opaque sheeting which was far blurrier than the nail polish. Lastly I was just gonna give up and paint a pair of round frame glasses and use them only during photos with the make-up on underneath. Most recently I have been looking into translucent/transparent stained glass paints or frosting techniques.


I like the round glasses idea, but I would prefer to be able to wear them all the time and be able to see.  Any ideas/suggestions? Anything at all would help!

Ah how could I forget.*hits self on head* My vision is bad so I will be wearing perscription contacts and even more unfortunately I have an astigmatism so I have to use special contacts which I haven't seen in specialty contacts. XP But if anyone knows of a good brand for astigmatism that does that solid black doll eye contact that could possibly work.

Just a friendly note-- if you're going to get all white contacts (special or not) try and get mesh contacts if you'll be wearing them for an extensive amount of time. If it's just for a photoshoot then all while contacts are fine, but all white contacts greatly obscure your vision and make it nearly impossible to see :> But I wish you luck on your search!
