Trap cosplay is hard to pull off, unless you have feminine features.
I've seen a few really good traps and they really take care of their face, skin and... hair? :V

>feminine features

Most traps are awful. If you think you're a trap, you're probably not. I know tumblr hates the word, but I always saw "trap" as a compliment, the cream of the crop for males crossplaying women. If you can't fool people and make them think you're an attractive girl, then you're not doing it right.

I've been meaning to trap crossplay for many years, I actually might have been able to pull it off back when I was 18-20.

I'm turning 24 this year, and started growing hair on my legs and stuff, so probably not going to happen anymore...

I remember one of the happiest days back in the days was when I borrowed a maid outfit from a friend and could actually fit it and pull it off.

Being a trap has less to do with your age and more to do with your features. I'm 23 and I feel like I can still trap. Only difference between now and when I was 19 is I need to take better care of my skin and constantly improve makeup skills.

Get a photo of how you want them, take it in and get them waxed or threaded professionally once or twice. Then pluck weekly to maintain them in that pattern. Worth the investment and they will look good. Lots of Metro guys get theirs waxed often just to keep them looking neat, it's no unusual thing to the salon techs.

The legit biomale traps look horrible every time. They might take photos from flattering angles and photoshop the fuck out of themselves, but in real life they always have a square jaw and very strong facial features that makeup can't hide. Usually they don't even attempt at contouring either.

Im thinking about going full brolita, as I have a feminine body,and I love the dresses. It helps my hips are wide, and my waist is girly, but not skeletal, cause muh genes.

For me, its not a thing of sexuality, its just I love the dress patterns, coordinating styles, layers and the makeup all in one package.

Accessorizing and pursuing a fashionable image while coordinating pieces to match my taste is a liberating aspect that you cannot find in male fashion.

dying and haircare/messing with long hair and fingernails is probably the messiest part for me.
fuck wigs, my hair is natural

dropping 200-300 a dress set, while it breaks my wallet, is exciting, it gives me something to look forward to.

took me forever to build up enough confidence to try my hand at any crossplay, but once I did it's actually done a lot of pretty good things for me. Basically I went from being a giant fat rolling neckbeard to someone who looks like a regular human being just because wanting to crossplay gave me the motivation to exercise every day, eat healthy, and take care of how my body looks in general. Just for the few days out of the year that I can go to a con and go through the process of emulating some of my favorite characters.

It's always really weird when I have old friends ask me what my motivation is for getting back in shape and becoming healthier overall, since the answer of "I wish to be the little girl" isn't really one that makes a whole lot of sense.

I dont mind being a male.

Ive always thought "its the clothing that makes the man/woman"


In unrelated crap,
When people moan about 'being a woman trapped in a mans body' it always never fails to go over my head completely.

Maybe because I dont particularly care to "identify" as anything, because I am simply me, or that I've accepted the fact that I'll never be a strong man, or a busty woman.
Having a body like this is as much a curse as it is a blessing.

Oh well as long as the dress is gorgeous, the makeup properly applied, and the accessories match for coordination,
thats all the 'identity" I need.
If people constantly mistake me as a woman until I open my mouth, so be it.

I feel you on the "being a woman" thing, but I definitely don't think 'it's the clothing that makes the man/woman'. I don't identify as female at all (ever) even when I'm in crossplay, I just enjoy cosplay meant for females so much more than I enjoy cosplay meant for males. There's just so many more options and the makeup and clothes matching choices are just so much more fun! It is funny when I'm at cons with friends and some people who hear me talk will ask me what it's like to be trans/self-identify as a different gender and I have to explain to them that I still self-identify as male.

I've gotten a bit lucky though, since I'm still able to keep my hair cropped short, put on a suit, and go to work and just look like a skinnier version of every other dude there, I don't have to deal with a lot of problems that people who do have gender identity issues do (or even the problems that effeminate men have to deal with).

This was me about 3 years ago. Broad chest is an obvious giveaway and my face is kinda round. Also the makeup sucks, the shoes don't coordinate well, and I'm wearing the pochette like a belt. Gained a lot of weight after that after I got sick and I didn't know what the hell I was doing so I stopped. Lost all that weight a few months ago and now I weigh less than I did back then. Chest is still too broad from all the lifting I did, though. Also, I've done a lot more research on lolita since then so I think I can put a decent coord together. Still need work on makeup, though.

Can you be more precise? I'm only a beginner myself, but I noticed that choosing the character and outfit is very important. Shoulder-free stuff generally looks horrible; having puffy sleeves will greatly help hiding broad shoulders. Having (a dress with) a wide skirt (basically anything with a pettycoat underneath) will hide a narrow hip.
And finally, I guess choosing a character that looks a bit male helps, too, but that may be out of the question if you want to look “girlish”.

For me, the next think I really need to improve on (besides making cosplay outfits) is fully getting rid of my beard shadow. I hope waxing works; covering it with makeup didn't work out very well so far.

Buy from reputable stores and don't be afraid to ask about them. Arda-wigs is well known for having great cosplay wigs, but they're super thick so buying long ones isn't always the best because they tangle easily.

Also take care of your wigs, especially long haired ones. Brush them and use product if you can. Don't forget to trim them (especially bangs!) if they're not the right length. A lot of guys tend to just throw on a wig right out of the bag Take the time to adjust it on your head correctly, brush it out neatly, and style and cut it to your face (there are a lot of tutorials on how to trim wigs out there, if you're willing to I'd recommend even buying a super cheap wig and testing out how it feels to trim it before trying it on your good wigs.)

We don't know how fast your body hair grows.
Just try it out for yourself.

Hey anon, I dunno about you but I have some serious scumbag hair genes. A year ago I shaved two days before the con and was starting to get it growing back the day of already. This year I shaved the night before and was good to go when I needed it.

If your hair tends to grow back fast (take your facial hair for example), then wait as long as you can before doing it, then follow-up every other night if you can.

It depends on the trap, but it's not like it's an instant turnoff or anything. Traps are usually guys with cute faces or the ability to pull off cute faces, and I like cute faces.

Can you use this on facial hair?
I get razor burns everytime I shave, and while plucking works fine, it takes a ridiculous amount of time.

If your beard density is really sparse, like leg hair, then it would probably work.
Any denser and it would probably rip your skin off.

I would not do it. As >>8496810 said, it will probably cause damage if not rip off your skin. I personally just shave my facial hair and use the epillator for everything else.

On the internet anon, Its not like you are going to find some local boy at your favorite hang out and ask him "Hey do you enjoy being a degenerate and cross dressing."

On second thought try that, it may very well be the best pick up line ever.

I see... guess I could try on a small spot just to try. The epillator will be a good buy even if I don't use it for the facial hair anyway. To be honest I'm just being lazy and want to get rid of plucking.

I've been crossplaying for a little while but i know i could be a lot better (i've fooled a few depending on the character, like i've been called miss by some not by others) i think the key is makeup i need to learn it better any good tutorials that aren't like drag?

I feel like jaw line isn't something that's as easy to hide, but that might just be because I've never had to deal with it. I do know a lot of beautiful women with well defined jawlines though, so it might not be that big of a deal
