Is makeup required for cosplaying? I really want to start going to cons and cosplaying, but I only ever played with makeup as a kid and never got into it as I got older. I am not super attractive either, so I think wearing makeup could greatly improve my cosplay in terms of appearing to be a cute anime girl. Can anyone give tips on getting into makeup with little to no experience? I've tried watching a lot of tutorials, but it seems like I have to buy a lot of products to get started.
