Amethyst, Steven Universe. C2E2 2019. .I did this cosplay last year as well but never got a good picture, and admittedly had some problems. I was not a fan of the wig I had before, and the gem kept popping off. I think this time around with a new wig and securely putting the gem in place I am overall THRILLED with how this cosplay turned out. I would like to continue to do Amethyst for future cons. Probably one of my absolute favorite cosplays I’ve done.Beneath the cut for more details about how I put this together. My arm socks have seen better days. I made them myself and it was my first time so they were not the greatest. I barely had a clue as to what I was doing and was attempting a few different tutorials last year when I made them. I’d either like to give it another shot or spend a little extra money to have someone make them for me before the next time I wear her.  Still impressed with the boot covers I made. I had never made those before either and think I did a pretty damn good job at them! They were brown/tan boots I bought from Walmart and attempted to spray paint but it didn’t work out, however the white base made it possible for me to use a nice thin fabric for the boot covers so the brown did not show. The leggings were purchased from Hottopic (Don’t believe they sell them anymore) and the tank top was from Walmart and I cut the tears in them. Gem was purchased from Etsy (seller no longer available) and the wig was from Amazon. I did lightly dye the wig by using a mixture of acrylic ink and alcohol. It doesn’t show in pictures well but the wig does have a light purple tint to it. My wig last year I got the color WAY too dark and even the shade of purple wasn’t correct. So this wig makes me much happier.Face paint is TAG in lilac (i believe? That’s just off the top of my head but it sounds right). I noticed online a lot of people complained about the product saying it cracked and did not go on evenly. I have not experienced problems with the paint, long as I do a layer of paint, then a spray of Mehron setting spray, and follow that for a total of 3-4 layers it stays on virtually all day without cracking and it goes on very smoothly. Only place it rubbed off was when I wore my glasses and the nose piece rubbed it off, but that’s expected. One of these days I’ll make a video tutorial. If that would even interest anyone.I made the whip myself (which I would like to try and redo aspects off. The hand guard mostly.) It was a rush job as I made the whip about 24 hours before c2E2 2018 last year and did not have the time to redo it this year by the time I decided to go as Amethyst again. Oh, and the lipstick I used was Jeffree Star velour liquid lipstick in ‘Blow Pony’. Again, had like no trouble with this staying on all day only had to do touch ups just after eating. -- source link
