Cosplay/con wise

They were actually a very good friend for a while before they became rather toxic. We still share the same friend group. Best advice if its someone in your friend group:
1. I do not unless we have to interact together while hanging out with other people. I do not pretend to be good friends but I will be courteous and respectful.
2. Yes on social media, no if I am in a friend group and we are all talking with each other.
3. I took several large steps back in our friendship and I have made new friends to interact with at conventions and talk about cosplay with.

They did something to try and provoke negative emotions out of me (muuch more than vague posting). I ignored them completely, they haven't done anything like it since because they didn't get any reaction out of me.

Be cautious of red flags and always try to be mature and level headed when dealing with them.

question about foundation

I currently use tarte's clay foundation and after using it for several months, it is starting to not blend into my skin well and it does not dry down well at all. Even if I use a small amount it appears cake-y, and the brush or beauty blender that I use will pick up the foundation and leave it patchy.

I was thinking about switching to IT cosmetics foundation or Urban Decay Naked foundation. Do you guys recommend anything else that I should consider trying? Or have had similar problems?

I have extreme baby fever right now (I think it's the weather) and these pictures are so cute to me.

I cover up my cherry blossom on my left shoulder, but I never cover up my cat tattoo on my right wrist. I never expose it for pictures and it's pretty small. I know a person who has face tattoos and big dark tattoos on their neck, who cosplay as characters from Free! and Love Live and it's super distracting, they don't try to hide them with foundation or anything.

Now to get back on topic

>buy costume from famous cosplayer
>they bought it from ebay
>do private pics for $$

I get it because money makes the world go 'round.... But it's kinda sad. I've always bought my costumes and I recently started to sew so I can get serious and make them. I remember when all serious and even 100+ fb likes cosplayers used to make their costumes back then.

person you responded to
it VERY recently happened again, but this time with a best friend of five years. so... probably more frequently than we think.
