We have Discord now?

The server already exists since a while. It's not the official cgl crossplay server, but most people are from here.

>>9936163
I went as a female character to my last con. It was great wearing a skirt in the hot weather.
So convenient for going pee.

>>9936189
Same anon, I went to a con on last week's Saturday but when I noticed a lot of errors I made I want to ~~cry~~ be better.

Everytime a wind blows I feel naked.

>>9936196
What kind of error?

>>9936204
Forgot to bring contacts and a prop.

>>9936208
Not too bad. Luckily mine was super simple.

I'm sure you still did great

>>9936210
Thank you anon, I did got some praises but on the lines of "you have a great potential", but I was the type who heavily judges everyone else's cosplay, so naturally I'm too conscious of myself.

>>9936218
Who did you go as?

I try to enjoy everyone's cosplay. It's all in good fun. Ther only ones who annoy me are the ones who are blatant attention whores.
But that's life

>>9936223
Rem, would do Ram next but not without tonshit of makeup practice.

>>9936227
Nice! I didnt have to wear makeup. Hardest thing I had to do was toss on a wig and my dance.

>>9936230
I do wear them but I think mine melted because the hot weather. Next time probably will build coverage with powder foundation as I wore liquid one, but supposedly have a medium/full coverage.

>>9936233
Hmm. That def would be a better choice.

My next con is in Oct so luckily not gonna be hot af

>>9936234
For now I'm trying to get an airbrush finish on my foundation. It looks good IRL.

>>9936237
Good shit man. Sounds nice

>>9936237
I might need to ask female cosplayers next time.

>>9936243
I might want to ask female cosplayers on the next available con that I visit. Some cosplayers really get it right.

>>9936163
If you're going to make a new thread as soon as the old one reaches the bump limit, at least link back to it:

>>9936196
>rebbitor trying to strikeout

not crossplaying but I need to get a moustache shadow removed because that shit aint anime, doesnt matter how much i shave it because my fair skin and pitch black hair(thick on top of the head, very thin on the body/face) will always make a contrast.

I was gonna have it waxed but why do I see women get moustache waxed with almost no hair on their upper lip but I see people saying men need to grow theirs to 1 centimeter+ first, then I see youtube vids of dumbasses with full beards having it ripped off and probably causing scarring?

why the fuck dont i just get it waxed 1-2 days after a shave?

>>9936380
Having stubble dressed as a girl makes it more fun

>>9936385
thats disgusting, fuck that.

I was also thinking of having it threaded maybe, lots of pajeets here in the UK and that thing is like, second nature for them, dunno if its better tho

>>9936387
Why? I walked around with stubble last time I dressed like a chick. It's more fun.

But I also dont have a female body type. So even shaving dont help.

>>9936380
Just get as close of a shade you can and colour correct the beard shadow. Use a reddish-orange cream under your foundation to neutralize the blue.

Which one to get? Nubras or detached silicone pads?

>>9936380

Call a salon to schedule waxing and ask them how much hair growth you need beforehand

>>9936233
>>9936250
are you using primer? even a cheap one will makes all the difference. gives your skin that smooth, 'airbrushed' look as you say and it helps your foundation stay on longer and look nicer. liquid + powder is the way to go. also try using a finishing spray as well!

>>9936603
I didn't. I did mosturize with my toner beforehand, but it is still shit.

>>9935390
>how muscular
Okay, not actually that muscular at all, just a bit slightly chubby and with a slightly disproportionately big girly ass. But I'm planning on working out enough to not be fat but not be a big guy either, hoping to strike twink-level.
>wax and shave
Dammit, can't I just cover my arms and legs? Shouldn't long sleeves, gloves and long socks do the trick?
>One piece dress usually looks like shit without additional padding
Breast padding? Where might I find that?
>What are you looking to put on
Thinking of a dress, long socks, boots, gloves, maybe some kind of bandana or face-mask.

>>9936604
Moisturizer doesn't help keep your makeup on. Primer and setting spray do.

>>9937534
As I found it the hard way.

>>9937496
>Dammit, can't I just cover my arms and legs? Shouldn't long sleeves, gloves and long socks do the trick?

Covering your arms and legs to hide body hair is just the last option you should consider when it's absolutely mandatory for you to keep your hair. It will never be the same as cleanly shaving off everything. If it's just your personal lazyness, then you're about to heavily spoil the quality of your own cosplay.

>>9936380
Definitely seconding using an orange colour corrector. Not sure exactly where you're located but you can pick up one relatively cheap. Put it on after your primer on dark areas you want to cover, blend out, apply foundation, etc etc.

As for the waxing, I do my own face as it's cheaper and I've done it when the hairs were way shorter than 1cm but I'm not a dude so I don't deal with stubble the same way. I use the Nair Cire Divine wax which they say you can use on hair as short as 2mm. If you're willing to try and wax yourself maybe it's something to look into? Fair warning, shit hurts especially on sensitive areas like the upper lip but you get used to it if you do it regularly.

>>9936380

This one is easy. Just use hard wax. I'm a girl with mild Hirsutism and I wax my entire face once a week. Doesn't cause any scarring and the hair can be really short and even shaved a day or so prior. The worst it does is cause my face to look red for a few hours afterwards, but it goes away and then I get to enjoy a totally smooth face. And I'm sure you're aware but it hurts pretty bad the first time.

Go on amazon and search for cerepil blue hard wax. It's a little pricey, but it's the best imo.

>Big girly ass
Hmmm anon, I could definitely get behind this.

Is your face cute? And how tall are you? I may have some tips.

I bought a cosplay dress and my upper back is too big for it so I cant zip it up, what options do I have?

https://www.xhamster.com/videos/pink-ranger-masturbates-again-4439566

I wish I met a cosplayer/crossplayer who'd like to do this to me IRL.

>>9939443
Grayson Perry is a legend

>>9939888
None really, you gotta get a bigger size

>>9939968
yeah senpai

>>9939888
Did you measure yourself before you bought the costume?

>>9940709

>>9940800

I did measure it and sent in a custom size I think they just fucked up.

>>9936163
ok, who is this dude?

why the fuck is full body waxing so expensive?

>>9941013
The place I currently go to does it for $60-$80 depending on whether or not I do my pubes. It's really not that much when you think about how much hair they're removing.

>>9940959
your dad

>>9937969
why did the bitch who does my eyebrows tell me I needa grow my moustache around 2 weeks before waxing or threading else it might not remove much? meanwhile I see bitches get a wax on their almost non existent moustache?

ill try that i guess thanks

>>9941020
is waxing or sugaring cheaper?

I have sharp features, a bent nose, deep set eyes, and a big adam's apple. Any makeup tips to minimize these things and make me look more feminine, or am I doomed to look like a drag queen at best? I want to do lolita.

>>9941351
Waxing

>>9941563
>I want to do lolita
Better stick to gothic and classic, for one thing, they're the most forgiving for more "mature" facial features. I can't tell you whether you'll always look like a drag queen, you might never be able to look extremely feminine, but you can probably work with your features to create an elegant (rather than cute) look.
Avoid sharp, cut-across bangs, they'll emphasize your nose and probably your eyes too. It's difficult to suggest other hairstyles without knowing what you look like but I'm thinking wispy, soft side or half bangs with side pieces to frame your face, similar to a hime cut in a way but not as blunt.
There are makeup guides for deep set eyes out there, many of them are centered around western makeup so I suggest looking at makeup guides for gothic/classic lolitas and applying the tips from the former to the latter, to create a look that flatters you and the style you're wearing. Keep in mind that makeup in lolita is usually not very heavy anyway so you don't have to pile on eye shadow that might make your deep set eyes look worse.

>>9941567
Much appreciate the detail in your reply. I'll look into your suggestions. I've always been kind of bummed about having a masculine face since I have a pretty androgynous personality.

A friend of me is a trap and he wants to cosplay as bunnygirl (playboy thing) and he thinks it's not allowed, what would happen if he did? Literally asking for him because hes shy. Thanks \o/

>>9941588
>bunnygirl (playboy thing)
lol
Anyway, he should probably look at the rules of the con he wants to attend, some forbid too-revealing cosplays while others are more lenient.

>>9941591
So... he wont "busted" for a "copyright infringement" like he fears it would happen?

>>9941588
>>9941591
Oh, and as for what could happen if he did this against the con's rules - Afaik he could either be asked to change or be kicked out and/or banned from the con, depending on the situation I suppose.

>>9941593
>copyright infringement
Oh honey. Many cons freely allow people to sell fan merchandise which, in this day and age when people can produce their own acrylic charms and enamel pins, can rival official merch. I highly, highly doubt that copyright is a real concern in this case.
I'm not sure why he'd want to cosplay a playboy bunny specifically at a con, I'm assuming this is an anime convention we're talking about? It seems out of place, but whatever.

>>9941601
No idea, he just likes the aesthetics. Bless you for answering these silly questions, I just googled it and didn't find an answer (because it probably never got questioned..), thanks.

>>9941563
Don't do sweet. I don't know what it is with brolitas and sweet, but considering you have a manly face, it won't look great on you. Gothic is godlike on men, and I rarely see them do it. Just my hot take.

>>9941605
I'm a reformed scene kid deep in my heart anyway, so this is fine.

>>9941260
thanks
thought that would be him, only forgot his name

>>9941052
can't be, cause my dad is way more fat and hairy

>>9941327
>>9937969
asudhaudhaudha I tried to use hard wax and it did absolutely nothing to my moustache, not even a single hair gone (it pretty much cleared any bodyhair I tested it though)

plus it made a big mess. am i really gonna have to cover this with make up my whole life(outside of lasering, or waiting 2 weeks for it to grow then wax... which defeats the fucking purpose) REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>9936163
How do I find new friends to go to a con with that are ok with me crossplaying?

>>9944514
Find other local crossplayers to meet up with. Post in local con groups on Facebook or Discord. I don't think too many people give a shit if you crossplay, just don't be a creep.

>>9944514
They find you honestly.
I don't know what it is, but there's something about trans/crossplayers that they just gravitate to each other and away from other cosplays.

>>9936187
so some random person just plugged their own discord as an 'official" one?
lmao

also why are people other than crossplayOP making these threads?

>>9944984
>so some random person just plugged their own discord as an 'official" one?
not really

>also why are people other than crossplayOP making these threads?
wondering the same about what happened to crossplayOP

Thoughts on the tactical /k/ommando dresses?
Ways to incorporate a plate carrier into lolita?

>>9945209
I'm still here.
Someone just made the new thread "illegally" the second the other one reached the bump limit.
/cgl/ is a slow board, so I usually wait a bit longer, but I guess the temptation of fresh snow was too big for someone.

>>9946325
I wonder if it was the person who couldn't help but plug their own discord as the official one

>>9941563
As for makeup tips, you'll have to do your own research and practice since we don't really know your features/skin. There's a makeup thread and plenty of youtube videos. You're welcome to post here for concrit. Just make sure you actually fucking practice and get feedback. A lot of guys don't bother and end up looking really bad. It makes a huge difference in lolita since the purpose is to look feminine and elegant, whereas cosplay is more forgiving since everyone knows it's a costume.

Also feel free to post for coording concrit, too. Don't look like an ita. Brolitas who don't even bother trying end up looking really terrible, so be prepared to put in the extra effort. Pic related.

>>9941605
Sweet is fine but only for certain facial/body types on men, and for those who can actually coherently coord and not look like a pastel vomit fag. Otherwise, most brolitas I know actually do gothic.

THIS IS GOOD


>>9946521
Never post this shit again please

>>9946544
How did he do the cleavage?
Makeup aside, those tits look quite good.

>>9946617
Possibly a breast plate like the ones drag queens use

>>9946544
I can’t see it, someone post it

Has anyone bought a breastplate they are happy with? My main concern with them is whether or not the color will match my skin tone. Even the higher end ones only give you a few different options. I suppose makeup could help with this but I wasn't sure if using that on breastplates were a thing.

>>9946617
over exposed picture is hiding lines.

Crossdresser mates i need an advise, im searching for a female silicone body suit with silicone breasts an a mask with a wig. All of the ones i found on google dont fit my needs :(

>>9946915
if this is that fetish thing please leave

if this is kig pls go to /jp/

How do you get rid of 5 oclock shadow?

>>9947204
Shave and then color correcting concealer, then foundation

>>9936163
do boys do this so they can get dicked in the ass?
I can't see any other reason for a male to dress this lewdly
I have no real issue with it I'm genuinely curious

>>9948040
>I can't see any other reason for a male to dress this lewdly
>a male to dress this lewdly
>this lewdly

There's a conceptional error in your understanding of why people are crossdressing.

>>9948069
This is why people in this thread have been trying to push the "OMG sneaky so cute" "feminine penis" and other chaser/sissy BS out of here. This thread is for crossplay as a hobby and costume, not a fetish.

Yeah this thread is about beauty.

>>9948040
This thread is about looking cute as a hobby. Fetish shit is not allowed.

ftm crossplayer here, does anyone have recommendations for male chestplates? female ones are very easy to track down but male ones are not

>>9948040
They dress this way for the same reason that women dress that way. It's a cool outfit that they like wearing.

https://twitter.com/OnaDo_Do/status/1020891862687608833


THIS IS GREAT

i'm terrible at posing, but I tried.

>>9936208
I always remember about putting on my contacts like when i've already done half of my make up, damn.
and it's a bother to put them on without smudging what i've already done

>>9952756
Not bad, since you have a longer face I suggest looking up makeup tutorials to widen the face so you have a softer overall look.
Also hand moisturizer

>>9936163
Holy fuck that is sneaky

Been going to AX for maybe 3-4 times by now and have been doing mostly crossplaying aside from my first AX. There was a crossplaying gathering that I was thinking about going but I was too nervous, maybe next year I suppose.

>>9952902
Is it true that you hit women? Also congrats.

>>9952951
Based. I hope he does.

>>9952951
Very true.

>>9952978
Good. Women deserve it most of the time.

if i get fit, i won't be able to crossplay, correct?

>>9953446
You can still crossplay if you get fit. But you have to be careful and not get too buff.

>>9952756
Nice! I suggest softening your hand gestures a bit and researching makeup tips to make your face softer

>>9953446
Or, get buff and crossplay buff women. Zarya, illoai, ect..

>>9953446
You you actually have to put a lot of work to get huge. Just getting to healthy point won't actually be that bad.

What are the best ideas for stuffing a bra? It doesn't need to big or look perfect, but I'd at least like to use something that won't risk falling out.
I'd assume using a padded bra as well would be ideal?

>>9959413
socks work with push up bra.
Try different stuff, you could buy silicon breast forms.

is LOPE a boy or a girl?

>>9960149
who

>>9953446
this is as dumb as the girls who ask if they can lift without looking manly
do people think you touch a dumbbell and just immediately your arms swell up? you have to try really hard to get to that point. It doesn't happen on accident

>crossplayed for the first time yesterday
>thought i would be okay, "lol it's a con nobody's gonna give a shit"
>oh whoops i'm actually terrified the entire time
>end up just wearing a hoodie and trying to hide my dumb makeup-covered face all day
>bought a four day pass but not sure i even want to go back today

jesus christ i'm a fucking idiot

>>9960406
No one will really care, it's just you, anon. Go out there and have fun.

>>9952902
Good to see a fellow Neptunia crossplayer. You look great!

The nerves start to go away over time too. In the past I’ve had a drink or two before going out just to get over the nerves.

>>9960416
not today. maybe tomorrow, but i'm still bummed out from yesterday and after trying to get ready and screwing up my makeup a little bit ago, i'm even less eager to try again today.

i should have just waited for a con i could go to with friends instead of trying to go by myself. that would have made me a lot less scared.

>>9960406
why not just wear a mask if you're cross dressing?

Its really easy when half your face is covered, you just need to have nice eyes/eyebrows.

>>9960442
maybe i'm too deep into what i know from my time on 4chan and it's not a perception everyone has, but to me, those masks pretty much scream "i'm a fetishist." i actually did buy one and initially intended to use it, but backed off and just went for makeup.

idk. i think my makeup was actually pretty decent (no good pics, sorry), i was still just super anxious and couldn't get past it.

>>9960444
>fetishist

dude people just wear that because 99% of males absolutely cannot pass as a female with their jaws/facial hair(even shaving/waxing isnt enough, need to laser it out), its not a fetish thing.

youd have to be ridiculously good looking to be better off maskless.

>>9960444
> fetishist
Wait I wear those masks when I'm sick or in heavily polluted areas. This is a fetish thing?

>>9960468
Specifically in the context of crossdressing, it has a lot of connotations with anime traps, especially when they have those cutesy anime face designs.

>>9960472
May not entirely fetishy but just easier to hide manjaw/5-oclock shadow with a facemask so comes with the territory when trying to convince viewers for risque photo shoots. The cutesy anime face just adds a "feminine touch" to it.

>>9936163
I want to crossplay as rin tohsaka, but i don't really know how to tell if a skirt fits me or not, i mean, should the skirt be tight on my waist? should i be able to insert one or two fingers under the waistband comfortably, or is that too much?
I know that it's not going to be visible under the sweater, but i want to do this right.

>>9944514
if your friends aren't okay with you crossplaying, they're probably not real friends desu

>>9947152
>kig is not welcome on /cgl/

?!?!?!?!

>>9944514
I would love nothing more than a friend to crossplay with(unless hes a sailor bubba or looks like duke nukem, well, actually id kill to have a friend that looks like duke nukem).

just put yourself out there.

>>9960472
>bought a mask at the last con I was at just for the heck of it
>have been planning to crossplay Miku for some time

I guess my destiny is written on the walls now

Been looking to buy one of these for a while now, it's not for crossplay but I have zero tits. They look decent in shop stock photos and on some crossplayers I follow but I want to actually hear an opinion before I drop 200$ on them. Also hard to tell how much those photos are edited.
Anyone get one of these before? How natural do they look/feel irl? Do they look okay with the edges uncovered? Is it comfortable enough to wear for a whole con day? Default foam fillers okay or pay the extra for silicone fillers?

>>9968532

I am looking into getting something like this as well. The edges are definitely noticeable, especially if the silicone doesn't match your skin tone. I really wish sellers would sell sample pieces so you know which skin tone to order.

>>9968532
>Not for cosplay
How is this thread relevant then?

>not for CROSSplay
lrn2read. there's a high chance a crossplayer in this thread has experience with these, as opposed to just asking in stupid questions or elsewhere

>>9968532
I've been wanting to do up a Celty cosplay, but need tits as well or it wouldn't look right.
Considering saline, about the same price as that where I live so...

Saw these two at Fanime. They were nice as hell and even had the characters' business cards, which is a great touch.

im a masculine guy so ill never really pass(face and body) but I just want to trap cause its an easy way to make new friends in cons.

what other things should I get? Are there any cute/anime eyelashes that you can attach without external glue? im afraid Ill get some instathot/slag kim kardashian ones since im a guy and i honestly cant tell till I wear it.

Also will get eyelid tape cause dad gave me hooded eyes.

Would a bit of blushy eyeshadow work even though the character doesnt have it? just to brighten the eye area, or should I just use concealer+highlighter?

what about eyeliner? im afraid of fucking things up as it is with circle lenses, eyelid tape and the eyelash extensions

>>9971515
Get a bunch of makeup and do some experiments. In fact, go to a makeup store and explain what's going on. In my experience, they're more than happy to help. False lashes need glue to really stay on, so if you don't like that then go with mascara.

Also, don't worry about that 'thot' shit. If someone is going to hate you for putting work into your appearance, then they're a shitty person who you're better off avoiding.

This stuff isn't easy. It's also not cheap. However, it ain't easy or cheap for girls either, so really it all works out. You will only get results if you put in the work. Even the 'naturally trappy' people put a ton of effort into their appearance. Hell, my girlfriend teases me for the amount of time is takes me to get ready.

Nobody just puts on a wig and a surgical mask and is instantly cute. Life isn't that kind.

>>9971690
thanks, makeup stores dont really have ladies helping unless its a more expensive brand like chanel where i finally got a non caking foundation.

guess ill show her a few pics and ask for guidelines, hope shes not just making me buy all sorts of unneeded shit gor her quota

ill probably still stick with the mask as some things you cant fix without surgery/hormones. i even waxed my moustache off cause i had a shadow even if i shave cleanly(for non trap cosplays), painful as shit

>>9971738
Have you considered watching drag queen makeup tutorials? They have good tips for feminizing your face with makeup and wigs, the ~fishy~ queens like farrah moan courtney act or violet chacki could make for decent help/inspo imo

>>9964529
Skirts should typically be tight enough to sit on your waist without sagging down. Especially for Rin, to get that zettai ryouiki.

>>9971738

what, you waxed your moustache/beard, didn't it hurt and had a ton of blood?

>>9972098
Blood? i couldnt tell I was having my eyes closed. there were red spots and open pores everywhere and it was pretty red for 24 hours. now its mostly fine but there are "whiteheads"or something which is apparently normal and will be gone.

2nd worst pain ever, i can still imagine the first 2 times she removed that shit, like every pore and hair was coming off, I was 99% more scared that the skin might come off.

I have an upper lip shadow, doesnt matter how much I shave, bleach or cover it with makeup, it is absolutely insane because my hair is so black and my skin tone is more on the fair side it has such an insane contrast, even without cosplaying I hate it so much ill go through this pain to get rid of it

>>9971690
>ask for advice from a girl who does masquerades
>get financially raped

guess ill have to sell handies and blowies in the con

>>9972907
>£51 is financial rape
lol

Just bought this, can't wait for it to arrive! :D

>>9972907
For makeup, what you paid for isn't that much at all. What were you expecting lmao.

>>9973257
like half maybe, already paid like another 60 bucks for foundation(granted, i love it and use it every day), then powder and primer and eyeshadow.

>>9973302
the amount of makeup that a lot of women wear on a daily basis would be somewhere around 150+ USD to buy it all at the same time. you bought basically the essentials, I've seen my sister go out and spend 500-600 USD on palettes without even thinking.

>>9971177
These are the best. 10/10

>>9973305
even drugstore shit?

>>9973732
drugstore shit dont have girls that will help, at best its just some angry old lady or male black guy whod punch you if you dared ask him for advice cause hed think you was calling him gay

>>9973732
yes even drugstore shit. If you walked into a drugstore and bought the basics in more than tiny amounts, you would spend 50-100 USD.
Cosplay, makeup, etc are not cheap hobbies

>>9973967
>tfw barely own $20 worth of makeup
explains why i look terrible

>>9973976
It's not just the product you're using. Practice! Practice! Practice!

Makeup is one of those things where you pay for what you get. Shit is expensive, but worth it. Get the really cheap stuff when you start off so you can just practice. Over time you'll buy more expensive and better quality stuff and it'll add up. My Sephora card already has way over 500 points from this year alone.

>>9973976
practice atleast once a day for 4 months

which style is better for a man?

Just tried eyeliner for the first time, oh my god this is the most amazing thing ever jesus fucking christ, why isnt this more popular among men? even the sand people(men) know enough to wear them

>>9960406
Just don't give a fuck. Literally nobody cares. Try to have fun. You care too much

>>9968532
where would one get these?

>>9974417
taobao or aliexpress

>>9942127
well if you are going to cover it off with makeup your whole life why not use laser to remove it IMO its cleaner and cheaper.

>>9974600
I actually just had it waxed and it was bretty painful, its not 100% what I expected but its a huge difference now, esp now that I can apply some concealer/corrector on it.

lasering costs do add up a bit, Im literally gonna have to sell handjobs in the cons and find a sugar daddy to pay for my expenses at this rate.

>>9974600
Consider this option. I have blonde hair and fair skin, so laser isn't an option for me, but I'm ~2 years into electrolysis. My entire throat/jawline is almost hair free (1 hour session every 2 weeks).

I'm not trans, and I wouldn't classify myself as non-binary (I don't have the emotional energy to make my gender a political statement), but I also realized that I never plan on growing a beard or mustache. It's a pain now (not cheap either), but my electrologist is cool enough, and every session just brings me one step closer to never having to drag a razor blade across my face/neck again.

Recently my partner has shown interest in twinning lolita with me at a con or a meet so I'd like to help him, he really likes classic and gothic lolita and has surprised me with his good taste, his legs are amazing and I think he'll do fine with me doing his make up (he looks kinda like /f/). The only problem is getting his confidence up and actually buying everything we need to twin; Bodyline/taobao seems like the easy option to break the ice before investing but I'm worried the quality will make him look cheap and fetishy, what should I do?

>>9974721
Secondhand brand - You get the quality for (potentially) less than retail, or even a fragment of the price if you're willing to be patient and actually look for a bargain. Classic and gothic are especially easy to buy for, just be on the lookout for things that'll actually fit him. IW for example have released some gorgeous pieces that are also available in longer lengths if he's tall, and many of their JSKs have adjustable straps to make them longer if needed, and their solid pieces tend to be quite affordable secondhand.

>>9974722
He fits into my brand better than me, I'm a long bitch (175cm) and he's smol (165cm) and we both have 28" waists and 36" chests so at least we can share pretty much everything. Getting secondhand will be a bother but I'm keeping my eye out on wonderwelt, we might just have to not exactly match the first time.

>>9974727
I think you can twin with the exact same pieces if you're really patient but worse case scenario either put together a coord that matches yours in colors and cuts so you can "twin" without actually wearing the same pieces (if that makes sense) or just put together a good coord for him to wear and postpone the twinning for later. The latter might be a good option if he's never worn lolita before, ease him into it before you commit to twinning.

I'm a really busty girl (34F) and I need to bind for crossplay, problem is no matter how much I adjust my tits in my binder down and to the side like FtM blogs recommend, my chest always does an odd, bulgy "shelf" look. Is there a way to get rid of it or am I doomed?

>>9974737
Lose weight.

>>9969508
>exam fee

fucking what. Is that actually a thing?

>>9974743
I'm 167cm at 55kg, losing does nothing to my chest since it's mostly breast tissue at this point. I am trying to drop to 50 but I doubt it's going to reduce anything besides my band size.

>>9974671
its 125 british bucks minimum for a single session of neck plus moustache n beard area.

with our shit economy now im literally gonna need to sell handjobs or find a rich 50+yo (wo) man to pay for my shit

>>9959413
I've had great fun with filling helium type balloons with water
Fill them only enough water to fill the bra cups (350 grams each will fill out a 36DD) and they'll tolerate more abuse than you'd think without popping, but they're not fool proof though so handle them somewhat gently when inserting or removing them

Having said that, my cosplay friends (male or female matters not) take much glee in either groping me or getting me groped since they're bouncy and springy, plus after a short while they'll be warm to the touch having absorbed enough heat to achieve body temp (when they start out at room temp, they absorb a fair bit of heat so it a nice way to keep cool)

The latex doesn't last forever and the water slowly evaporates out of them, but balloons are super cheap so making new ones every con is pretty manageable
Just make sure you get all the air bubbles out before tying them off so they don't make a sloshing noise when you move

>>9974721
Are you on a budget? It sounds like you yourself are already a lolita so you should know about lacemarket and other options. And yeah, I don't recommend bodyline since it will make him look ita just like every other girl who wears bodyline poorly. If you're not on a budget just fill out your own personal wardrobe over time and let him borrow pieces. Then maybe he'll slowly invest in lolita himself.

And there's nothing we can do about his own confidence. That's something he'll have to do on his own. Maybe if he'll realize that we live in 2018 and people don't give a shit if you're gay or trans-trender anymore. People crossdress all the time at anime conventions, too.

i might test out my first crossplay during gay pride parade this weekend.

my thigh hair is really thin and sparse, should i shave or wax them off? ill also be wearing light beige colored pantyhose as well so generally it shouldnt be noticed with either methods.

dont wana spend 15bucks on waxing my thighs for a one off thing(and if it rains i sure as fuck am not going either way)

>>9975200
First time? Just shave it.

>>9959413
I've heard that if you fill a stocking with rice and stuff your bra with it, it gives you a nice and realistic shape.
I've never tried it myself tho.

Here's a video that explains it better
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvwyW_evlxM

>moustache waxed last week
>already have mild coloration, but not nearly as bad as it used to

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK? THAT WAS THE 2ND MOST PAINFUL SHIT EVER AND ITS ALREADY LOSING EFFECT

moustache only lasers are 50bongbucks minimum and they have this test patch bullshit faggotry that they even have the gull to charge 10-20 for sometimes.

you fucking cunts why should i waste travel money and time for a fucking test patch fuck

>>9975427
Because not everyone's skin reacts well to being burned with lasers, so they have to test. However, they're still putting in the work of lasering you, which costs money.

>>9975427
You should be able to skip the laser patch stuff and just start on low power.

Also if you want to remove it laser is probably the best method followed by electrolosys which is more painful.

>>9975508
Electrolysis is the only method that's permanent. Laser still grows back, just at a much slower rate than waxing.

>>9966549
This. My friends embrace the hell out of it. They even want me to run a crossplay panel some time because 1) I've been doing it for 5 years & 2) the only crossplay panel I went to was TRASH. They just kept laughing about the idea of taping your junk.

is there such a thing like pantyhose but for your upper body?

Like if you want to do a felix but aren't comfortable with your back and shoulders.

>>9975984
Hm, I suppose you could get a skin colored zentai like the Kigu people and cut the parts you want, but the edges would be visible (as opposed to the pantyhose, where they are hidden under you skirt/pants).
It might be easier to use concealer if you can manage to apply that there.

Tips for changing the voice to become a more convincing woman

>>9976929
general lgbt stuff you're better of asking /lgbt/

help me on my makeup, gulls. im awful at this.

My eyeliner skills suck, this is my 6th attempt. is it too thick/dull? i can only sharpen it buts never pointy like a pencil. I want to use eyelid tape but having all that makeup and false lashes plus circle lenses and hair possibly brushing my eyes if theres wind .. that seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
I hate my undereyes, even with strong concealer and a light pink blush it wont go away, maybe I should use a stronger beige/pink blush?

eyebrows still feel too chunky even after a ton of waxing, I guess I could bleach to make it easier to colour, i shouldve bought some pink liquid eyeliner maybe?
perhaps my skin tone could be lighter, dunno if itll look bad if i go too many tones higher.

not removing the mask until I get lasered.

>>9976972
Look into a liquid eyeliner if you want a really fine line. Liquid eyeliner definitely requires more skill but I’ve found it to be easier to get a thinner line. Maybelline’s Line Stiletto works well and is pretty cheap.

>>9976972
Not bad but I second the idea to get a liquid eyeliner and get one in a pen form not the pot/brush ones- way easier to hold and control like a pencil.
If you want to go even further get one with a brush tip not a felt pen tip, those are always the best for line thickness control.
Japanese ones are great they’ve always got brush tips.
You’ll probably have such an easier time using a liquid eyeliner pen

so uh is it acceptable for somewhat pointed toe flats to have space in the front or is it oversized

>>9977682
>>9976983

aw man i just spent 25 bucks on these as well, will my practice on this at least help out when I get the liquid ones?

>>9977751
sure they do help, they also give a different look.

>>9952756
Aww! You look so pretty!
Do you have a FB? Then again I can probably find you through Kika Photography's im sure lol

>>9977751
It will help and don’t worry you can still use these.
Pencil is good for under eye while liquid is for top eyelid and winged liner, so it’s not a lost 25$ you’ll get use out of them still.
Another thing pencil liner is good for us for smudging or smoking out.
If you have decent control with a pencil you’ll have a great starting point for using liquid pens. Just try it out and see I’m pretty confident you’ll be good anon.

>>9977741
Space in what way? If you can see the lines between your toes showing in the open part then it’s too big for you.
Likewise if the flats feel like they’re going to slip off.
Pointy toe flats are slightly uncomfortable when they’re properly sized but not so uncomfortable that your feet are crushed.
You can save it if you have to by stuffing the toes with some tissue paper to make a good fit and prevent slipping off, but this is if you have no other option.
Don’t ruin your feet by using too small shoes though too small is a million times worse than too big.

>>9952756
I agree this is pretty good anon.
I also agree with some other anons it would help you soften your face by doing some light contouring around your jaw to get a more rounded V-line especially for this look. It will feminize everything

>>9975984
Yes it’s called a skin colored bodysuit.
Look up the drag queen Kameron Michaels, he’s got tats all over but he wears a skin colored bodysuit when in drag and it’s even got a painted on belly button. No clue where he got it from but I’m sure someone who you can commission good bodysuits from might be able to do it.

>>9978170
space in the pointy part but you're not supposed to go all the way in it right? i can see a little bit of a toe cleavage in the small toe side and if i really force my feet towards the front i can create half a centimeter of space in the back which is what really bugs me
it does feel like it's going to slip off but it has buckles so that can be mitigated

>>9978201
Then it sounds like it’s mostly alright, a little bit of toe cleavage is fine, and again if you’re worried just stuff the toes for a closer fit but from what you’ve said it sounds like a good fit. As long as it’s not completely slipping off or crushing your toes into a lump of triangle flesh then you’re probably in the right size.

>>9978186
damn, if thats unedited(or mostly unedited) then I seriously absolutely need that

>>9978186
>>9978241

Even if it contains some shoop, that's still a remarkable transformation.

>>9974949
I was on a bit of a budget for his first dress and as convenient as it would be to share my stuff he isn't really a big fan the frilly oldschool stuff I wear and likes elegant classic stuff with no ruffles more. BUT I got lucky and found something we both like (a basic black Moite dress) so if he doesn't like it at least I can keep it!

Why try to be something you're not? If it's a gag thing then I can understand that, but if you're trying to be convincing just know that NOBODY is convinced. Anyone who says otherwise is lying for points

>>9936163
I'd fuck Sneaky. I bet he's a total sub bot.

>doomed to look like a drag queen at best

Hey, looking like a drag queen is 1000x better than looking like an obvious man with foundation and subtle makeup on. Heavy drag makeup is what helps feminine masculine faces.

>>9979191
Yup, it’s fun that why.

>>9979191
You know, I still feel anxiety regularly when I'm dressing, and wonder just how many people see through the disguise. It's really hard to tell most of the time, but I've been in a few situations where there was just no possibility they "fell for it" intentionally.
Having said that, if "trying to be something you're not" is something bad in your mind, maybe cosplay isn't the right hobby for you?
Am I responding to a strawman?

>>9979414
You're responding to someone trying to shit up your thread, it's best to ignore anons like this to not get the thread derailed.

>>9979191
its amazingly fun. being a fit boy trying to look like a girl is awesome, all the young girls love it especially as well as middle aged women and all the guys are secretly thirsty.

now if you look like a giga testosterone filled man like duke nukem then maybe you should stick to something else

>>9936163
is this sneaky during a photo session during this pic?
>tfw someone suggests me the idea of a photo session when i can't even properly put on eyeliner

>>9980115
>is this sneaky during a photo session
Yes, it is.

when will it end

>>9980269
Those are Brendan Frasier eyes.

>>9980269
When chasers stop posting the pictures in here with creepy comments.

Heyo :3 I want some feedback please try not to be too nasty , what things on my face do you think I’d be able to improve?

>>9980370
Change the blush to a more warm toned pink, maybe even a peachy tone; the cool pink doesn't flatter you at all. Also, if you're going to use it right on the apples of your cheeks, use less blush.
Don't do winged eyeliner in sweet lolita, it's a more "mature" look that doesn't suit the style. If you have to do wings do small ones, and I suggest making your eyeliner thinner in general, it's a bit too heavy. Also, a question: Are you wearing mascara in this?
If you wear a light wig like this, you should cut your wig bangs in a way that they're still long enough to cover your eyebrows, and please wear something other than that dress, I can tell from this shot alone that it's a cheap monstrosity.

>>9980378
Thank you :p, I’ll try them changes, the wig normal does cover my eyebrows, but I messed up on the day :(, and i’ve just got some brand in :D, but I need to lose weight first :’(

>>9980370
Other than what >>9980378 I think you should thin your eyebrows a little, or lighten them, and remove the nose ring because it doesn't quite fit sweet lolita. Dunno if it's just angles but you have a good face shape for sweet.

Let us know how it goes and post yourself wearing brand and your new makeup attempt. Also don't stick your tongue out in your next photo.

>>9980370
diffetent coloured circle lenses.

destroy the fuck out of your eyebrows, get it waxed very thin.

>>9980370
nice work fat faggot you look bad also dont :3 or :P or :D or :(

>>9980385
Please stop typing with emoticons, it make every adult here cringe so hard.

>>9980370
I’m impressed with your liner wings but yeah for sweet Lolita smaller less noticeable eyeliner is more suited for the look.
Also agree that the eyebrows is what gives you away as men have much more bushy brows than even “bushy-browned” females and if they care enough to do their makeup they usually care enough to keep their brows done up too.
Just some waxing to have them shaped , thinned out a bit and cleaned up a bit should do. Blush is a little bit heavy, warmer tone to match your skin would be better and not as harsh. Other than that great job anon it’s not bad at all just small differences that will help the believability.

How in the utter fuck do I wear heels at a con and not hate my feet for like a month afterward? Literally a month sometimes till my toes stop feeling weird/numb from a weekend of occasional heels.

I'm 215 lbs but just cause I'm tall/broad. Is just becoming less heavy the answer?

>>9946521
>this pic
me irl

i'm a former army soldier and am quite fit (87kg at 189cm) but i want to crossplay so fucking bad, i've got muscle clevage and pretty huge chest, thicc arms, and a good posture, . I feel confident my legs and ass could pass

i wont settle for looking like a drag queen, am i fucked lads?

pic related is what i want to cosplay, but i'd have more luck cosplaying jojo

>>9981066
well son, you are going to be thankfull you look like a dragqueen first,
Second start practicing and you are going to have to loose some muscle mass.

How do I go about buying girl stuff at a store without looking like a faggot?

>>9981256
Drive an hour or two away and buy girl stuff at a store (looking like a faggot) but you wont run into anyone

>>9980269
If this is sneaky i got one of his pictures put on the sissy website he watches

>>9981274
>the sissy website he watches
is this a meme or a proofen fact

>>9981274
>the sissy website he watches
is this a meme or proven fact

>>9981289
In one of his streams he tabbed to his browser but had left some trap/sissy shit up and tried to play it off. You can easily find the video on youtube.

>>9981256
Ask for help from sales people saying it’s a gift for your girlfriend/sister , even if you don’t need help it makes people get the idea that you’re just trying to get a nice gift. Look super masculine when buying and I guarantee you nobody will think other than “that’s a guy buying a gift”

>>9980992
Heels are hell even for girls.
It doesn’t get better until you grow some calluses but the pain is constant. You just kind of have to put up with it if you want heels.
You can minimize some of the pain by using shoe inserts for the balls of your feet and the edge of the shoe on heel areas so look into some heel shoe inserts at least to make it slightly more bearable.
Ensure you have a good fit /proper size to minimize pain as much as possible too, but even with these tips heels will never be comfortable, but they’re not comfortable for women either is what I’m saying.
Any time you can get away with a wedge or chunky heel instead of a stilleto heel, go for it and after wearing heels for long periods of time treat your feet to a soak to relax some of the pain/muscles in your feet.

>>9981066
As a muscular guy you can pass off more for sexy woman look easier (like Kameron Michaels mentioned earlier in this thread) but if you want to do more of a kawaii young girl you’ll have to lose some of your muscle definition because women already develop their muscles differently and further, kawaii younger girls rarely if ever have much muscle definition, so you having too much will throw it off.
Nothing wrong with looking drag queen-esque but if you mean looking “overdone” by that then that means go lighter on makeup than a drag queen would. Their tips might actually be the most useful for you to listen to because they’re the ones who invented many tricks to feminize strongly masculine looking bodies that would be helpful to you, like padding, contouring, etc.
When people say “I don’t want to look like a drag queen” I don’t think they realize drag comes in a scale and many queens actually look believable but they achieve this by knowing their features and aiming for a more realistic look vs an over emphasized comedic “man in dress” one.
Also, it’s better to look like a drag queen rather than a creepy exhibitionist cross dresser, especially in today’s world where drag is pretty much mainstream accepted.

>>9981256
Why the fuck does it matter if you look like a faggot when you actually are one irl?

Sales clerks don't give a fuck, they're just there working a shit job and need money. Are you afraid they're going to call the police on you or something?

>>9981400
You weren't even lying. Kek.

I want to get into crossdressing for Jfashion but I have a chad thundercock jaw almost exactly like
>>9946521
is there anyway I could hide it with hair/makeup accessories?

I'm interested in toned down classic lolita or things similar. I'm lucky enough to know a tall girl with a big jfashion/cosplay wardrobe who said I can try anything out, but I'm still worried I will only look like shit because of the whole jaw thing.

>>9981541
A good long wig that can frame your face and soften your features + getting good at makeup. Look at drag queen makeup tutorials for examples, you don't want to look like a drag queen of course but their tips for feminizing the face are very useful.

>>9981541
i wish i had your jaw.

>>9981256
What i'm afraid of is not looking like a faggot but looking like a creep
it's like i can feel women's disgusted looks in my peripheral vision because normally women don't look at you that blatantly

>>9981574
who cares theyre fat and ugly, you probably look better than them in your half assed crossplay

>>9981579
they're not though

>>9981541
Contouring, a wig of decent length and the right hairstyle should help a lot to soften your features

>>9981608
>>9981555
I see you are both saying wigs. I'm just unsure as what style? I've tried a blunt cut straight wig and I ended up looking more masculine than usual

>>9981614
>blunt cut straight wig

Straight lines will do the opposite and amplify the sharpeness.

If you want to soften your features, you will need a style with waves, curls, roundish soft lines that take some of the sharpness of your face.

>>9981256
>Hey, i would like to buy this skirt/stockings/thigh high/whatever-the-fuck
>yes, i will pay with cash, thank you.
It's not all that fucking hard dude, the first time might be a little awkward, but after that, it's not different from buying a fucking shirt.

How does one buy a bra for padding with help of gf or something like that?
Also what type of bra is better for crossplay?

>>9981776
Know your size before you go, you won’t have to try them on and feel awkward that way.
The band size is in inches so if you’re 34inches around your chest where the band should be, you need a 34B/D/A etc, since you’ve got no boobs already the cup size doesn’t really matter since you’ll be stuffing it but stay to smaller sizes if you get a 34DD when you’ve got no real tits you risk it looking weird unless you’ve got silicone tits to wear under the bra.
In the case of silicone tits, put them on and look up bra size measuring guides to figure how to measure around the boobs to find the cup size.
It helps if you know what your size is ahead of time if you don’t want to have to try on in stores and get weird looks.
When you pay if you’re ashamed and not sure it will fit, ask for a gift receipt, then return it with it if it ends up not fitting.
If you want lots of padding go for bras that say “Push up” or “Double Push up”- Victoria’s Secret has Double Push up bras that are HEAVILY padded.

>>9981574
If you go in with a written out list of items or a list/pictures to refer to on phone, and women see you asking for help/checking that list while shopping, they will think you’re buying for somebody else, especially if you don’t dress anything less than average “masculine casual” while shopping, trust me.
They might be looking out of curiousity since makeup/bra/shoe/clothes sections for women usually only contain women and occasionally their boyfriends who tagged along, so a man alone is unique to us and we may look for a second but at least for me I don’t think anything other than “he’s probably trying to get a gift for a girl” or as far as makeup I might assume he’s got acne or scars he’s trying to cover, just mundane average shit like that. I’ve never assumed a guy was buying because he’s trying to crossdress and I know a few male crossplayers so if anything I should get that idea but I don’t.
It’s mostly in your head anon, just don’t give a fuck and if it helps use the tricks mentioned to cosplay “a guy buying shit for a girl” while in the store.
Gift receipts/ lists/ asking help from salespeople/ mentioning your gf/sister/friend/whatever you’re buying for. You’ll be fine as long as you don’t go into a store in a ghetto area, dressed in woman’s clothes, and screaming about how you’re a sissy- nobody will give it too much consideration.

>>9981614
Contour your jaw and wear wavy/curly wigs that have a good length to frame your face.

>>9982005
so you never assume that he's a buffalo bill type person who wants to wear women's skin or dresses up his rape doll or uses the stuff as masturbation rags or maybe tries to swallow it while jerking off?

>>9980992
Who are you trying to go as?

>>9982506
Not unless a guy looks greasy, unwashed, and generally weird to begin with.
If a guy walks into a store selling lady things looking like the average guy, in clean jeans and a T shirt, I barely notice them other than to think yeah he’s probably shopping for someone.
I didn’t even realize that it could very likely have been the case that many of the dudes I’ve seen could have been buying for themself until anon brought the topic up, I highly doubt normie women who aren’t aware of crossplay being a thing will think anything unless you draw attention to yourself.

First crossplay. I don’t really know how to do makeup well, so I wore a mask.

I’m really enjoying cosplay. I’m going to invest a lot more in my next one

>>9982807
Fuck I’m Australian.

Also excuse my glasses. I forgot my contacts in my excitement

>>9982807
Is this supposed to be feminine? It's just the wig though. Where's the cosplay

I took shit pics. I’m sorry. Again, I’m new.

Here. IQ from R6S

>>9982506
That’s a lovely visual but no anon it hasn’t crossed my mind unless I see a dude who looks like a creepy stalker to begin with, but then I’d think that without him even having to be buying female stuff.
As long as you don’t look unwashed, greasy, and stalkery then you’re good women won’t really think too much about you being in their sections.

>>9982904
sorry anon but i dont think a single person on earth would think "crossplay" if they saw that pic

>>9981256
So many options
1. Ask about gift wrapping/bags
2. Buy online
3. Drive far away
4. Just don't give a fuck
5. Actually make a female friend who would be willing to join you

>>9983194
>>9982904
Tighter hoodie and tighter jeans

Props for IQ but the GSG-9 are mainly plainclothes with strapped gear. Look more like a chick trying to be tacticool and amp up the thicc iq

Do you guys do something about the way you talk as well? I have a pretty feminine body and face, so I'm quite sure I could pass as a girl, but if someone heard my voice it would be really obvious and kinda awkward.
I'll probably have friends talk for me in the convention, are there better choices? What are your experiences?

>>9983352
This

>>9944946
>Post in local con groups on Facebook or Discord
Where do I find local Discord con groups?

Not even crossplay specifically, just generally.

Is there a site that lists them or do I just gotta google that shit?

>>9983352
I did need a tighter hoodie. I just threw this cosplay together on a bit of short notice (1 week) and it was my first time at it. I’ll definitly put more work into my next cosplay. I was just testing the waters to see if I liked it.

So what bathroom should I use? I'm kinda a small guy so I can crossplay pretty convincingly.

>>9986148
Go to the male bathroom and see all jaws dropping with smug

I actually cosplayed IQ when playing airsoft

>>9986173

>>9986148
male for the urinals because its easier
female for the immersive experience

>>9986148
The one for your biological sex. Don't be gross.

>>9986148
I've cross dressed for years (cons, nightclubs, etc...) and always used the mens' room, even when I'm just in there to touch up my makeup. I know what I'm about.

Unless you consider yourself a woman, stay out of the fucking womens' room. Same with the other way around. It's a bathroom, let people shit in peace.

>>9986148
>>9986286

Agreed. Don’t creep out the actual women or you’ll have a bad time.
Guys will mostly ignore you other than the initial shock of seeing you walk up to a urinal and unzip.
If you don’t have a vagina you use the room with urinals in it Or gender neutral ones if available.

I have a deep voice that is impossible to mask, not TYRONE deep but definitely deeper than the vast majority of guys ill see on youtube if I compare recordings.

unless you have a fetishist chaser male or something then its kind of pointless and stupid to even try. I just roll with it, plus im top anyway so theyll have to deal with it.

Im about to purchase a custom sized UMP9 cosplay, and provided my measurements to the seller. They seem confused that my height is 187cm, but my bust is 89cm, and they're asking my gender. UMP9 is pretty flat, so even with the small cup bra I'd wear, my bust becomes 91cm.
I'm worried if I say I'm male though, they'll make the costume to male standards and it wont look feminine.
Any experience dealing with this when ordering cosplay?

>>9986886
>9
>flat
Just say flat out you plan on crossplay or female measurements

>>9987248
Sorry, I dont follow. I measured with the bra on and thats the measurement I got. I'm not worried about saying I'm male or female, I'm worried that the answer might affect how the clothes fit.

>>9986886
Besides the fact that you’re not going for 45 instead of 9, you’ll be fine if you give your actual measurements. I’ve never had any vendor give a shit about gender, they just wanted to make sure stuff fits.

>>9936163
I'm so jealous of you who can pass as a girl. I'm 6'5 and have very broad shoulders. I tried a dress once and it looked terrible.

Greetings from a former crossplayer! I stopped crossplaying early last year.

>26
>Balding so I would need a wig
Do I just give up or give it a go?

eyeliner is so good, but at the same time I hate it.

it takes so long to learn how to use properly and you dont even know what style suits you at the start, fuck i hate eyeliner but i cant even leave home without it now.

my upper lip looks really bad and small, maybe from overshaving?

how do i get a slightly fuller upper lip without going drag queen mode? im not even gonna crossplay without a mask but this is just for every day life I guess, it just feels so small.

>>9988363
>crossplaying without a wig

Why would you do that? Even in regular cosplay, cosplaying without a wig is frowned upon, unless you don't care about how it looks and just want to have fun.

So yea, the fact that you're balding doesn't matter (I am balding too, btw). You'll be wearing a wig anyway, if you're tryhard enough.

>>9952756
ma sei luca e posti su 4chan kek

>>9988502
This. Even when you're doing regular cosplay, you're nearly always going to want a wig if you want it to look good. Pretty much all the good cosplayers are wearing wigs, you won't be anywhere near alone.

Tips on hiding a bulge?

>>9952756
I suggest wearing skin tone tights to give your legs and knees s much smoother look. Like the other anons said, look up some makeup tutorials for your face shape. Other than that you look really good!

>>9980370
You look cute! Big false eyelashes would do wonders though!

>>9988491
you are beautiful

>>9988491
general crossdressing/trans stuff is better suited for /lgbt/

>>9989122

i guess, but they feel small even by normie standards, not even fagging it up since im straight irl

>I'm 6'5 and have very broad shoulders.
I'm 6'0 with broad shoulders, and i can still pull it off.
>I tried a dress once and it looked terrible.
This is the problem, if you want to see if you can pull off crossplay/crossdressing, then you should start with skirts, dresses are not easy to pull off as a male because they're designed for the female body (narrow shoulders, wide hips, etc. You get the idea).
With skirts on the other hand, is easier to "add" and "substract" from your frame.

Chapter 3 and 4 from "Kagayaku!! Otoko no Musumejuku" actually explains this in depth.
In fact, here's a link.
https://mangadex.org/chapter/88702/1
Just ignore the obvious fanservice.

>>9986802
Just find a character that you like and work from there, there's no rule saying that you HAVE to cosplay characters that look like you.
But if you're dead set on that, then valmet from Jormungand, Biscuit (muscle form) from Hunter x hunter, Stella (muscle form) or Amazon from Arakawa under the bridge, Matrona from Nanatsu no taizai.

What's the best way to deal with facial hair, especially around the chin/neck around the chin?

my skins super pale and I feel like it becomes noticeable super fast after shaving, I'm sick of wearing those le epic masks, should I just use makeup?

>>9990888
makeup maybe?

>>9990888
bite the bullet and get laser. my moustache lost patches after a wax, but that takes a lot of time and extreme pain (and like 3-4 days where you just grow puss or whatever bumps and white stuff on your upper lip)

>>9991028
that shit does not work with pale skin/dark hair unless you REALLY cake it up and it looks awful.

>>9990888
Shave before everything else and use color correcting concealer

>>9990888
Shave right before the event, and use a concealer that's heavier on orange tones (this balances against the natural 'blue' tone that dark hair makes underneath our skin. Once you've got the concealer down, THEN you can put on foundation, then contouring.

Speaking of contouring, watch this video. It will seriously help.

>general crossdressing is better suited for /lgbt/
they don't like it either

>>9989223
I mean, asking /lgbt/ trans or MtF thread for makeup advice isn't going to turn you gay, anon

>>9989223
It's always amazing to me how people want to do this stuff but they get so defensive and uptight about not being gay or doing anything that might seem gay.

We get it. You're not gay. Now go put on your panties and makeup.

>>9992015
that should show you how obnoxious crossdressers are when /lgbt/, /fa/, /cgl/, and other boards don't want them.

>>9992635
that includes this thread also then

>>9992592
good point, my astolfo cosplay has a ridiculously short skirt, do i stick to my black boxer briefs that resemble spats or do i buy some shimapan?

>>9992662
If you had shima boxers that'd be best but I can't find them anywhere

Has anyone tried a corset to get a better hourglass under the costume? Did you buy one just for girls or crossdressing?

>>9992638
that's true too, also the discords that get posted on cgl eventually amass a critical mass of trannies, crossdressers, and sissy fags to the point where that's all they talk about and the server dies. I can't fathom why trannies can literally only talk about being trannies. It's like any guy who puts on a dress makes his entire life about it.

>Breast padding? Where might I find that?

do a search on ebay. You can get fake asses and tits and hips.

I'm thinking about buying some for like a vampirella costume.

Which reminds me, has anyone here actually purchased and used any of these expensive girly parts on ebay?

>>9946771

>>9993144
>>proper legal channels and medical restrictions on life-altering substances is gatekeeping
>w-wew

kinda, yeah.

something doesn't stop being gatekeeping because one side feels really justified.

Those fucking old cunts that got alcohol banned for a while were still gatekeepers, regardless of how justified they thought they were.

Crossplay always make me sad because I know I can't be as cute as other guys. What's even the point if people can immediately tell I'm male and everyone just sees me as a freak?

>>9993251
>What's even the point if people can immediately tell I'm male and everyone just sees me as a freak?

if it makes you feel better, most anime fans and cosplayers are freaks.

>>9992989
i think the problem in that case might have been that you went on discord

>>9993186
It's blocked for your own safety idiot, it's so someone with a fetish who doesn't really need it doesn't completely irreversibly change their body and then 10 years later regret it when they look like neither gender, don't have functioning genitals, and decide to kill themselves because they weren't stopped.

Thank god we have gatekeepers to prevent us from harming ourselves.

I wish we cared this much about other forms of mental illness.

I'm looking to buy/make a crossplay costume for my ... friend, but I have no idea where to start, how to get into this. How does one translate mens measurements to women's clothing.

>>9993702
you can buy a woman's piece of clothing and just pad it, or you can have one custom made for example here: https://www.cosplayshopper.com/

For 15 bucks extra they'll customize it your specifications and you can specify either male or female fit

>>9992638
>that includes this thread also then
Nayrt, but yes, it does. /cgl/ didn't and to some extent still doesn't like. It got slightly better after the crossplay general thread established, but generally it is wiser not to mention you're a guy (unless you're f.e. greentexting some stories and mentioning crossdressing is necessary for context).


>>9993702
>How does one translate mens measurements to women's clothing.
You don't even try to translate fixed clothing sizes, because it's almost certain that they'll look ill-fitting since there are no standards how sizes should fit. Get a measuring tape, properly measure your height, shoulder width, bust, underbust, arm length, waist, hips and leg/inseam leg.

The only size that may include some trial and error is the shoe size. Measure your foot length (heel to big toe), the width around the ball of your foot, and try to find a pair that fits. Foot width is important if you have big feet and need wide sizes.
Also OP, please make a new thread. This one's already dying.
