I've been trying some of the tips, though it's still a bit of a
lucky shot more often than not to get the eyeliner to not look
funky.
But here are some of the results. I don't mind more tips or
ideas!
The first one I was rather proud of, though I didn't intend to
do the make up for Nezumi, but it would fit more for him then
the character I had aimed at. I'm wearing a pair of blue contact
lenses for that. (If you can even tell, I have a tendency to try
things out later at night and then only have the option of bad
lighting.)
The second one is a bit more subtle and actually something I am
comfortable wearing going out on the street on an everyday
basis, but I think that's where I'll be aiming towards for a
Nezumi cosplay, subtle but enhancing. No lenses or anything, I
still need a pair of grey lenses. I haven't yet seen a pair
where I though 'THAT' is what I want.
I still absolutely can't do any 'wings'/extending the line of
the upper part out. That always ends up horrible. Make up is no
easy art.

Omg wow! Those both look so intense like Nezumi's eyes! And I
totally feel the "late at night cosplay test" issue, I usually
do that too. I'd totally direct you to some contacts for Nezumi,
but I have yet to see any that look perfect for him. Anyway,
looks awesome!

ooh the way you did the eyeliner looks really nice and intense.
your eyes are so pretty, they definitely have a "nezumi" look to
them with how thinly shaped they are

... now I removed my last post instead of editing it. Way to go
with not reading what the warning says.
But the last one wasn't anything proper anyways. I did comment
on how after the visit to the hairdresser my hair was partially
too short for a pony tail. But it's long enough again! And I'm
pretty happy with it no need to cosplay book version Nezumi
anymore.
There was also a thank you for the compliments!
Still haven't got any proper contacts, the one's I'm wearing
here are way too blue, but I wanted to see how something really
light would look so I put them in. What I'm really more happy
with now is the hair, a little bit of a trim for the bangs
maybe, but that's almost more of a tiny detail left. (I do want
the deep black, not the anime-version colour, it's just personal
taste.)
I think I might try taking a picture with the leather jacket and
scarf as substitute for the cape next time (I don't have the
jacket with me right now or I would have experimented with that
now...) for now it's an old way too big T-shirt that made me
take the liberty of lounging around. Maybe I should have picked
up a book while I was at it.
But now I can actually call this a prototype for the cosplay to
come.
I'm excited.

Omg very nice!!! Your hair looks super cool, much better than I
could ever make my ponytail look. And I do think those contacts
work well personally. They look natural enough and they don't
scream "BLUE!"

My cosplay is getting more and more complete. I'm still trying
around with make up though. But I just rediscovered this on my
phone and I wanted to share. What do you think? Any tips?
Klick here, because it's not exactly small.

I finally remembered to come back and view this... I couldn't
open the link on the phone app and I didn't have wifi at the
time. Anyway...
So I'm super loving the lower lash liner to make the eyes pop!
Your eyes definitely look stormy gray like that. I do have a
couple pointers on making that work without making your eyes
look any smaller (which lower eyeliner does tend to do), and
usually with cosplay it's best to make your eyes look as
naturally big as possible. Because anime
(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟϪ

I just found this video yesterday and I am definitely using it
for future reference. It has a bunch of tips that apply to
cosplay makeup, especially for characters like Nezumi who have
narrower eyes (so no need for falsies, thank god). I definitely
recommend trying out the extended inner eye as well as the tight
lining techniques. That will totally bring out your eye color
and achieve the "intense Nezumi eyes" look.

As for products, I tend to go cheap and get this one super low
price brand called e.l.f. but I'm guessing it's not an
international brand. I haven't had much issue with cheaper
pencil liners, but the liquid liner and waterline liner have
been problems for me. I'd recommend doing a little research on
those products before buying any. My eyes water constantly, so I
have to use the most waterproof liner available if I don't want
it running down my eyelids. My eyes water so much that I have to
clean off flecks of tears that my eyelashes flick onto my
glasses, and sometimes when I lie down on my side tears just
fall out of my eye. Very awkward when I'm around other people.
("why are you crying, Amanda?!" "I'm not, my eyes just do this."
"right... so really, why are you crying?") Also for the liquid
liner, I haven't found the best stuff for me yet. Mine tends to
flake off and look kinda crummy once it's dry. I'm not sure if
it's because I have oily eyelids or if it's just junky makeup.
So yeah, experiment and have fun! And of course, remember to set
your eye makeup once it's done! I really need to invest in some
quality makeup setter myself... Someday lol.
If you'd like to make your nose look a bit narrower, there are
easy methods of contouring to get that look. I personally have
to do this for nearly every cosplay, the only exceptions being
Armin from Attack on Titan (he's got a round button nose lol)
and my Journey cosplay which I wear a mask for. So here's a
video all about how to do that.

I know she uses fancy products for this, but the only things I
use for this are cheap bronzer and some white eyeshadow. The
reason I go with white for highlighting is because I have super
pale skin... The lightest shades of foundation in stores makes
me look tanner, but I'm not gonna spend more money special
ordering any online. I'm not that dedicated. Feel free to use
whatever you'd like for that, whether you're cheap like me or
going for higher quality stuff that's actually meant for
contouring and highlighting. Bottom line is that the highlighter
should be one shade lighter than your skin and the contour
should be a shade darker than your skin. Also this step should
be done after applying your foundation, and make sure to set it
when you're all done!
I'll attach a photo of my contour makeup, before and after
comparison.
And one more thing... Your hair looks PERFECT. I internally
screamed when I opened the link to your photo and saw your hair.
And you're using your natural hair, aren't you? I'm so jealous
;_;

Coincidentally I watched that exact video on eyeliner about two
days ago. But I never manage to make it look like that, I've
never practiced, so I have something to catch up there. I still
just do the waterline most of the time. As for contouring I'm
working more and more with that, but the lighting and the camera
is not exactly optimal, I think it was light from the laptop
screen and my phone? Although I am glad my phone kinda clears
out the skin.
For the eyes, I still have to get contacts, those are my plain
eyes and to get that bigger anime eye look... it's better with
slightly larger contacts, because otherwise you have too much
emphasize on the whites? At least that's how I feel. And that
make up brand you mentioned, no that doesn't exist here. But
I've discovered this one named catrice that is fairly cheap but
quite alright and another one called essence usually hase some
good stuff. The only thing I'm struggling with is foundation,
because drugstore brands are not light enough for me. I mostly
use a BB cream that has decent coverage that I got on ebay (from
Korea).
As for the hair, yes, that is no wig and I want to keep it that
way, even though there have been others who think I'm crazy if I
want to pull off a cosplay without a wig. But I still think a
tight ponytail looks better when it's real and I like my hair, I
have a lot, straight and healthily silky hair so I don't feel
uncomfortable. (My hair is that one feature I actually like
about myself XD) Also Nezumi's little ponytail is actually how I
run around at work as well, the time it takes to style that
isn't even a minute. Grab, pull up, shake out the fringe and
tie, done. So for a convention I guess I'd just set the front
with hairspray and so I can redo the ponytail if it gets messy
without having to fuss over it for an hour in the bathroom.
Sadly the haircolour I have been using and liking seems to have
been discontinued and now I need to find a new brand that I
like. (Being naturally dark blonde...) Not quite satisfied with
any new one so far...
I've been daring and tried this blue-black that barely had a
shine of blue though. (Picture attached, please don't look at my
face, I'm not wearing make up at all)
But I think I'd rather look further for another one that is just
really deep, dark black, because that also works a bit smoother
with my very pale skin tone. More of a neutral to neutral tone
instead of a cold one.

It's a double post, but to bring it back after woah, two years!
I like to think that my cosplay game has progressed a little
bit. Unfortunately however I no longer have my own hair black.
So I will have to look for a wig. I never got around to get
proper grey circle lenses... I did try with bright blue ones -
that is one of the last pictures with my real hair but the blue
is definitely not really Nezumi. And the next one is with a
short wig, so it would be book-version... but I like the warmer
light and softer angle. (I do have a narrow slightly edgy
face...)
