I just look intimidating at first. I've scared my manager at my
old job just by looking over at him. Since then, I've had to
wonder how many other people I've scared before who didn't tell
me... (I just have to face the facts that my bitchy resting face
and scary piercing eyes are only good for cosplaying big ol'
tsunderes.)
Also, as Vox has so eloquently written, Nezumi's pants are a
visual representation of his emotions. The more you know.

OH MY GOD. Vox's analysis is gold. [s]I have never laughed
harder in my life[/s] XD Can I reblog this??
... and I know next to nothing about cosplay. but I'd say you've
got a good start so far, Kai. :3

That analysis is nice indeed. XD
And thanks.
Though for staying on topic... My thinking slowly goes towards
cosplaying Nezumi first. (Karan may be a nice second one?)
Do you have any tips for the make-up? Would you/Did you do
anything specific to bring out his character?
The way I see it so far there should be enough accent on the
eyes, but how do I make that so it won't look horribly female?

(Yes @Meopat, you can totally reblog that :D)
For makeup... I'm still trying to master mine. It depends on
what I'm planning on doing in cosplay (so con makeup gets a
little heavier eye makeup and just for personal photos gets
less). Definitely waterlining makes a huge difference! That
really brings out the eyes without making it look girly or
heavy. Filling in my eyebrows also helps bring the focus to the
top half of my face. Also this is just something I have to do
because I have a rounder face, but it might work for you as
well, but I contour my nose so it looks thinner and sharper so
it's more to Nezumi's image. Also a "smaller" appearing nose
makes the eyes more of a focus.

The make-up is always the hardest part for me... I barely use
any, so I have no idea. I'm too pale for most make-up brands
anyways, basically... the last time I found make-up that
actually did match my skintone was during vacation in London.
And if you are that pale just a little make up can make you look
like you've tried paining on a clown face. That discourages you
from trying when you're a teenager... For cosplay I'm now just
trying whatever and tutorials on the web and... kinda... look
what I end up like.
Would it be too bold to attach a picture and ask for tips on my
face? (I wouldn't consider my face very round and from the right
angles I tell myself I can pull of a guy not that bad - except
for my lips I haven't managed to make them look thinner so
far... slapping on concealer does not work that well.)

You can certainly post a picture! I'm not a makeup pro as I only
use it for cosplay, but I'll do what I can to help! (Also I feel
you on the skin thing, I have to buy all the lightest colored
products and blend really well.)

Alright, have my probably most female looking picture I ever
managed, but it's the only one where my hair's out of my face.
And one with my current hairstyle, because I'll try using my
real hair for the cosplay. (Don't even ask... I can't pose for
my life that's the next problem... if I'm told to do something
with my hands... why not lean on them, because that makes total
sense when I have a book in my fingers...)
I feel like a huge nerd for that second picture. Really... but
I'll trust you not to laugh.
(I am too old for this... *drops face into hands*)
Bad light is my friend, I am sorry for that.

Hm, I'd say even though you already have a thin nose, contouring
the sides a little will help it show up that way head on (though
that could just be the lighting). Definitely fill in your
eyebrows with a darker color so they show up behind your bangs
(I personally use an eyeliner pencil for mine, but I like having
really bold eyebrows for cosplays). Use eyeliner for your
waterline (the top lid and the outer half of the bottom lid) and
another thin line on your top eyelid with the end extending out
a bit to make your eyes stand out without making them super big
looking. There are also lots of youtube videos on using
contouring/highlighting to bring out your features, but that's
all up to you!
Oh yeah, if you do use eyeliner on your waterline, make sure to
buy a kind that says it's good for the waterline, otherwise
it'll run and you'll look quite scary! (I've done that and
scared MYSELF!) Also as for contouring, you can get some bronzer
that's just a little bit darker than your skin tone. I usually
go two shades darker than the lightest color for mine, so maybe
you'll only need it to be one shade darker.
And all of this is just advice, you can pick and choose what you
want to do! Experiment and have fun with it! And if anyone else
has advice, please feel free to add in. I am certainly not the
queen of makeup here.

The contouring I've already been working on and trying. (Since I
plan to cosplay guys.) But I never dared to go too strong on the
eyebrows (only gently making them a little thicker), my mother
thought it be nice to have someone do it professionally for a
picture when I was 16... I never wanted to look like that ever
again... I looked like a clown, my eyebrows especially. Though I
will try (as Nezumi does not have very thick brows, so maybe it
doesn't look that weird if I darken them more) and I'll
definitely try extending the line with the eyeliner. Try around
there.
And thanks for the tips. It already helps a lot to know where to
try around. ^^

You're welcome! That was pretty fun to do, actually! I've had
roommates want to cosplay and so I make their cosplays and then
they refuse to even try makeup... I mean, cosplay is just for
fun, but... LET ME DO EVERYONE'S MAKEUP!! (I'm fine, I'm fine,
I'm just... passionate.)
