DAKI MAKEUP TEST

I got inspired after the livestream last night and took these photos at 1am in front of my closet, lol! It was so much fun putting all the Daki elements together and I’m now more excited for the full cosplay photoshoot than ever!!!

A huge thank you to @sayakatcosplay and @plexicosplay for letting me use this gorgeous wig and hair accessories that they created for their tutorial videos!!

Yes, you can watch exactly how @sayakatcosplay ventilated, dyed and styled this wig!
And how @plexicosplay 3-D modeled and printed Daki’s 11 hair accessories!
Video l!nks !n my b!o!!

I also want to shout-out @kinpatsucosplay for designing the face tattoos! They are available as a digital download on her website! I used tattoo paper to print them out and they look so nice!

My demonic contact lenses are from @uniqso! I replaced most of my cosplay lens collection with #uniqso lenses and couldn’t be happier!

Since this was a makeup test, I didn’t draw the demon veins and mostly focused on the eye and lip makeup. Main take away: Much angrier eyebrows next time lol!
I have also decided that I won’t do undead body paint for Daki because it would require so much coverage/time and the process would dampen the fun aspect of this cosplay for me.

Now I will push to finish the costume in the next week and do a photoshoot this month! Super pumped to bring it all together finally!

Progress report! My current cosplay project is Daki from Demon Slayer!
As an Upper Moon demon disguised as an Oiran in the Entertainment District, her outfit would have been made with opulent high quality fabrics. Thankfully, my fabric line is coming out with a gorgeous pink and yellow brocade which are perfect for this costume! I created the design on her obi and sashes using the fabric on fabric appliqué method and Heat-N-Bond. In fact, all the fabrics used in this costume except for the lace overlay are part of my @cosplayfabrics collection which is available in @joann_stores!

For personal comfort, I’m making this costume a tad more modest which mostly consists of the panty not being so low-slung on the hips, the top having a bit more coverage and the obi being more structured like a garment.

I had the foresight to order a pair of Oiran geta shoes months ago and they are hella cool but absolutely terrifying to walk in. Oirans always have attendants to lean on during parades so I will only use these shoes for a studio photoshoot. Don’t want to break an ankle or anything

Most of the costume is finished as of now, but I have to begin the arduous task of making a wire frame and back harness for the sashes so they can suspend around me.

If all goes well, I can do a photoshoot as Daki in the next couple of weeks!

What costume are you working on right now?
