Male Cosplay Makeup Tutorial - Persona 5 Protagonist Cosplay

Of course I would cosplay a character from a game that isn't due out for a few months, when we know almost nothing about the character or his personality :')

I'm gonna show you how I did my makeup for this cosplay, this can also be adapted for other characters.

 I'm using Neo Dali Brown lenses I got as a free gift from Honeycolor a while ago. I'm unsure about the actual colour of his eyes, and since I don't have any other lenses suitable I went with these. I started with a base of foundation before starting. I also filled in my brows with brown eyeshadow.

 Next I did some contouring! I contoured the hollows of my cheeks, slightly around my jaw line and under my chin, the temples of my forehead, and the sides of my nose.

 Then it's time to conceal those lips and make them look masculine! I used CosCos lip concealer (ordered though shopping service, see my blog post on this here) but you can also use normal concealer or foundation. Be sure to moisturise your lips fully before doing this as it is very drying!

 Apply just like a lip gloss, just don't add too much.

 Blend out with a sponge or your fingers.

 I used brown eyeshadow in the creases of my lips to add definition.

 I looked somewhat like this after that. If you wanted,  you could leave it like that, but for the anime look I recommend some eyeliner~

 I used a little white eyeliner in my waterline.

 And used my felt pen eyeliner to draw thin lines. Somewhat like this...

 I also used an eyeliner to add little lines on my lids for the classic anime look.

 Be sure to set everything with a translucent powder so the eyeliner doesn't smudge over the course of the day. Mine lasted very well and I didn't need to reapply it!

I also used a small amount of mascara to set my lashes.

And here is my final cosplay! I'm quite proud of this, even though I didn't make it, I sourced the different elements without having to buy a premade costume (which aren't even available yet) There's some innacuracies with the costume, but I'm recognisable at least and that's the main thing!

And here's a flower crown photo because my friend said he needed one :')
