this is the straightener i have, ive always been on a tight budget and this one is actually amazing for only being $17 dollars. i have extremely curly and frizzy thick hair and this does the job perfectly. i use a heat protectant and then go for it, with my old straighter it would take up to two hours to get my hair straight but this one does it in about 30 min. definitely worth it if you struggle with thick curly hair like me. (just make sure to use heat protectant so it doesn’t damage ur hair or make it look even frizzier when ur done) :)
Hi, here are a few things I recommend! Keep in mind I’m not a professional so take this with a grain of salt.
First off, wig care is a big thing that will help, I recommend checking out Alexa Poletti’s series on how to care for wigs. Styling will also bring up your cosplay game. Teasing brushes, crimpers, and straightening/curling irons work wonders! Just make sure your wigs are heat resistant so they don’t melt or burn.
As for as makeup goes, there are some pretty cheap eyeshadow palattes you can get on Amazon that last a while. I also getting concealer/ eyeshadow primer so that way the color pops more!
For costuming, there are two things I recommend. You can either go to amazon and try to buy costumes from there ( be careful with this some of the sizes can vary so measure yourself to cross compare) or try to put together thing you already own for closet cosplay.
Remember, progress isn’t always linear, but take it one day at a time and you’ll get to where you want to be! I wish you the best of luck!
