Inosuke Hashibira wannabe cosplay make-up tutorial #2




Hey there! Today I tried to make a tutorial that no one asked me to do, but my Inosuke cosplay arrived and I'm beyond myself, so I tried my best to improve my make-up game for him.

Starting with my skincare:
- cleaned my skin with MUSK soap
- toned with Soaphoria Witch Hazel flower water
- applied eye serum from Revolution
- applied face serum from Revolution
- face cream from COSRX

Continue with my base:
- Primer Catrice Prime and Fine
- Foundation Urban Decay Stay Naked
- Concealer Revolution Conceal and Define
- Powder Revolution
- Setting spray Essence You Better Work
- Eye Base Essence Colour Intensifying

After that I finally switched to my eye make-up.

1. I applied a white eyeshadow from Revolution all over my eye, in multiple layers under my eye - on my bottom eyelid, since I like to use eyeshadow instead of the kajal pencil to make it look more soft and less messy.
After that I drew my eyebrows (click here for tutorial), and outlined the "double eyelid" which Inosuke have.


2. When I'm satisfied with placement of my double eyelid, I'm creating shade using three different eyeshadows - first I use very dark neutral brown eyeshadow, then blend the harsh line with a lighter neutral brown, and in the end I blend harsh edges with skincolor eyeshadow.

3. To make lines more "anime-like" I paint them with liquid eyeliner and then clean the bottom side of it with either skincolor or white color eyeshadow (if I want to make it look more pronounced).

4. (OPTIONAL) After I finish all eyeshadows on my top eyelid, I place double eyelid lace sticker. I have hooded eyes so they're helping me to support my skin so I can create more visible eyeliner. Even tho many people are using them before applying an eyeshadow, I tried this method and sticker always fell off when I was blending my eyeshadows, so I'm using it afterwards.

5. Now the bottom eyelid - I decided to place only very light neutral brown shade in there, since Inosuke have only small line and eyelashes on the bottom eyelid. I'm doing it because I want to separate the white eyeshadow from the rest of the face without any harsh lines, just to make it look more unite. I'm always blending any harsh bottom edges of the eyeshadow, because it is only supposed to create 3D effect of fake bottom eyelid, not a visible line.

6. Adding liquid eyelinner in the same shape as Inosuke has it.

7. I'm finishing my top line and filling my lashline with black cushion liner only after I apply lenses. Eye fluids may smear it if I would apply it afterwards. You can also use mascara in this step, but I recommend very watery and natural-looking type since I'm adding fake lashes afterwards (it may be more difficult to apply top eyelashes if you have much mascara on them).

8. In the end I'm applying top and bottom eyelashes. I use to apply top lashes in one piece, but I'm cutting the bottom ones into small pieces (3 lashes at most) to prevent them from rewinding.

FINISHED!

Review - i.fiary Jinnie blue

Today I would like to show you a little more vibrant variant of natural blue lenses!




Brand: i.fairy
Origin: Korea
Water Content: 55%
DIA: 14.5mm
B.C.: 8.6
Duration: one year


Design: 💙💙💙💙
I was going for less natural look with these, but overall I liked the design. Usually I like more uniform and visible black ring, so I ended up using these lenses for casual looks instead of anime cosplay.

Color: 💙💙💙💙💙
I did not expected it, but even tho these lensess look natural, color is very vibrant and have a great coverage!

Size: 💙💙💙💙
I thought that they will be a little bit smaller to be honest, but they are little bit eye-enlarging. If you want your eyes to pop up more they will be a good choice.

Comfort: 💙💙💙💙💙
Ultra comfy! As usual, i.fairy lenses have a high percentage of water, so if you have sensitive eyes, these are a way to go! I can recommend them for daily wear too, especially if you don't mind using eyedrops as well.

Application: 💙💙💙💙💙
Weren't hard to apply, especially if you like to use silicone applicator which is absolutely great for softer kinds of lenses.


Photo time!


 Natural indoor direct light - one lens in

Natural indoor direct light - both lenses in


 You can see in both (straight and side) views that lenses blended perfectly with my natural eye color. That's one of the reason why I would recommend them for natural wear, for light and dark eyes too.

Sun was already setting so there were a little bit less light, yet the lesnes remained nice and vibrant.

You can see that with a little bit of effort you can make these lenses work for both natural wear and cosplay.



Pros:
- eye-enlarging
- makes eyes look more vibrant
- natural
- good for everyday wear

Cons:
- better for game cosplays than anime

Overall I found a use for these guys even tho I already bought new, more artificial lenses for Chuya cosplay. I wore them when I went out with friends and realised that they are great accessory in everyday looks, so if you are searching for something like that (or if you are planning cosplay of the character with more natural yet vibrant eyes), I do really recommend these! Especially because they were so comfortable!

Where you can buy them? I bought mine from ifairycon.com.
