Secret Cosplans

Lately, I've been getting a lot of questions for my social media accounts. I found it to be somewhat overwhelming, because suddenly people are asking me things about makeup, fashion, music, my opinions and so on. I want to thank all of you for the support and love and I'd be happy to answer any question you have for me.

I particularly wanted to write a lengthy blog post about this one question that I've been getting for quite a long while now, simply because I think that most cosplayers should be aware of this and that this somehow addresses an arising concern in the cosplay community.

"Why do you keep your cosplans secret?"

Cosplay Challenge 4 (July 21, 2013)

Such a nostalgic event.

Megurine Luka Trial (Yuegene Fay Inspired)

So I've been feeling quite down lately..

Cosplay Photoshoot: Megurine Luka (Casual) in Tagaytay

So my brother and I was on vacation in Tagaytay, Philippines. Before we left, he told me to bring my wig and wig cap, because he wanted to do a photoshoot there. Since it was a good location for nature and forest-themed shoots, I agreed and brought along my Luka wig~

Location: Nature Discovery Camp, Tagaytay, Philippines
Photographer: Gabriel Felix (My bro)
Wig: Vogue Royal Cosplay
Minimal makeup and no contact lens.

First shot. My brother said, "look moe".

Cosplay Photoshoot: Megurine Luka (Matryoshka)

I know, it's a late post. -_-

But last Halloween, I dressed up as Megurine Luka of Vocaloid, Matryoshka version :D Had a photoshoot with Paulo-kun and Sai-tan around our Subdivision.


Jacket made by my uncle.
Wig from Vogue Royal Cosplay.
Make up was done by me. :D

My reference photo.

Me XD

We had encountered a few problems on the way..

1. Paulo-kun's camera malfunctioned, so most of his shots are blurry.
2. Lots of people and kids were around.
3. It was near-sunset and the lighting wasn't that good.
4. It was my first time to participate in a photoshoot. :P

So pardon the photos. (-/\-)

Boo! Haha :D Photo by Paulo.

When I first heard Matryoshka, especially Lon's version and Hashiyan's version, I fell in love with the song. It sounds crazy and all, but I found it awesome.

Hihi :3 Sorry for my eyebags =_= Paulo's photo again~

I originally wanted to go as Matryoshka Miku, but I saw that a lot of cosplayers already did Miku. >.< So I went for Gumi. But~ I don't have the guts to have my lip pierced (it's not allowed in school), so I said "oh what the hell. Go for Luka."

This is Ate Sai's bike >w< I don't know how to ride one, so I don't have one. XD

Lon's version of Matryoshka :D

By the tennis court.. Paulo took this shot.

Shot by Ate Sai :D

My (poor) edit.

People around were giving us dirty and confused looks, probably because of me cosplaying >.< But overall, I had a really fun shoot ^_^

Anyways, that's all..
Thanks for reading!~

Trial: Geisha-inspired Makeup and Megurine Luka Makeup

So I did a makeup trial earlier. >w<  One, geisha-inspired and two, for Megurine Luka.

Sorry for the bad quality photos. T^T I did the trial in the bathroom, and I only used my phone's camera. So pardon for the bad photos! (-/\-)

My attempt at a geisha-inspired makeup. Eye shadow only, no eyeliner/mascara.

I used violet first to add a slight tint and then used brown to create a slight wing. Then, from the wing, I used purple and colored it to the inner corners to have a 'gradient' effect. Then I used midnight blue to darken the area near my lashes.

Megurine Luka trial.

Ok, I want to improve my Megurine Luka cosplay, especially because she's one of my favorite Vocaloids. Therefore, improvement of makeup. No eyeliner/mascara here too, eye shadow only.

I used beige for the base and then deepened my lids using pink. (Now I just realized the pink doesn't show much orz) I used white at the inner corners as highlight. (Works well if you're wearing contact lenses.)

So.. comments? Suggestions?
I'm quite new to makeup so pardon my nonexistent skills.. please do share your opinions so that I may improve~
Thanks for reading~
