the fact that it's next week kind of snuck up on me.

i mean, the only stuff i actually have left to do is pretty easy and definitely doable in a week but i am still panicking a little.

which is kind of funny, considering in past years i've been still sewing/painting/waiting on a wig to arrive up until the say before?

or day of, in the case of the wig.

I understand this feeling

(the wig was awful and didn't arrive until halfway through the day, i just sucked it up and was a blonde kumatora)

you would think, one of these years, cosplayers on the whole would just learn to get started earlier but this seems to be a thing that happens across the board!

fuck and i should probably do a makeup test too, i have never done troll makeup before and i should probably figure out how before i leave.

aaaaaah troll makeup

what kind are you using?

(I went as gamzee one time and it is A THING)

THANKFULLY nothing as difficult as gamzee, matt and i are going as sollux and karkat. i've got the snazaroo light grey, since that seemed to be the simplest to deal with haha

plus a couple colors for shading.

I'm not familiar with that stuff but yeah, it would be a good thing to try out before the day of for sure

just so you know how it handles, how well it stays, etc.

I had the most difficulty with it staying on my hands

(the stuff I had was ben nye and we used seal-spray too, and overall it worked really well but it's hard to avoid chipping on the fingers, especially if you were holding soda like me ffgh)

we also used the translucent powder and some pax for our hands

prince did an extensive review on the method we used once upon a time

GOOD LUCK THOUGH

ooh, that is useful, thanks!
