Illyria and River Tam updates

Possibly going shopping for the make up and stuff with a friend tomorrow.
Will post a list of what i got afterwards.
Don't know exactly what i need other than the list below, will print off some refs tomorrow, that should help.
If anyone reading this has cosplayed as Illyria from Angel before, COMMENT with what you used for your make up, this would be a massive help

I found this vid a massive help

I know i need
Blue temporary hair dye spray (For the hair streaks)
Icy blue lipstick or something to get my lips to look that icy blue like in the show
Icy blue contacts
blue eyeshadow
a darker eyeshadow or something i don't know.....
as for the other stuff, i'm massively confused about what to call it.
and a lighter and a darker something for the veins.
I'm hopeless with make up....
But i think that's everything i'll need

Gonna edit this later with pics and stuff



You know the chances of finding what you want online go down dramatically when your blog comes up on page 2 of the google search... LOL
yeah this happened to me when i was looking for progress blogs and stuff like mine on making River Tam's blue dress she wears in the movie.
So I went back to the visual guide and the movie and tried to get a good look at the dress.
Okay
it seems that it's two dresses worn as one, an under dress, which looks like it could be bought for not much and look right if it was the right colour, and an over dress which looks like i'm gonna have to make, but that doesn't look too hard, just a matter of finding a pattern and getting the materials and just sewing it. Shouldn't take me long, might even get to wear it for school on Halloween, which would be awesome.

Anyway
This will be edited TOMORROW with lots of shiny photos.
I'll try and get some stuff to finish Coraline while i'm out as i only need the yellow gumboots and wig for that.

Happy Cosplaying Everypony and Everyone
