Calling all cosplayers!!

[bluejeans07]

What kind of make-up do you bring to cons/travels and how many of each type?? Like two tube of lipsticks, or tweezers, etc etc etc! I'll let you know why I need this information after the first week of march! Please reply ASAP!!! Oh, and indicate the shape of the the make up (tube, compact, bottle) as well as how big it is! ...and also include the stuff you use to take off make-up if you bring it!

...and of course I don't know any of this because I don't really wear a lot of make-up ^^;;

This is what I used to take and I've noticed others as well:

1 foundation stick - fat cylinder shaped ~ about 5" high
1 concealer - thin cylinder shaped ~ varying heights, mine is about 5" high
Compact of powder

Ben Nye is a popular brand of make up used and recommended by cosplayers. You can check out the various shapes & sizes of their line:

We bring everything we own!! =D

...
What? We do!

>_>
<_< Ok ok, I know that's not helpful X3 Hrm... you need... slots for stuff shaped like lipstick (short and fat) or lip gloss/mascara (longer and not quite as fat)... and... flatish zippered compartment for thin long stuff like eyeliner/lipliner... hrm hrm... removable mirror? fold-up brush? erm erm erm... a comb!! Oh, and a big compartment to dump foundation, powder, eyeshadow containers, sparkles and any other random sized bottles that don't fit elsewhere. Maybe some smaller zippered or otherwise sealed compartments for other random stuff like tissues, extra brushes/applicators or small bottles of make-up remover. As for how many of each item, that really depends on the person. Some cosplayers, especially if they have a lot of costumes with different styles, will need many different full sets of make-up. But I think the typical person should only really need to bring two or three shades of lip/eye stuffs, and one shade of skin stuff while traveling.
