Some advice from male anon here. Don't use powder or whatever on your sensitive spots. Shave in the shower with female razor blades. We call it 'Gilette Venus' in Europe. Believe me.. that's the magic you need.

[Anonymous No.9574698]

>>9574619
Give me some more tips on shaving.

I never shaved my privates and for the few blonde hairs in my face an electrical razor is enough. So all these years I've never shaved with blades. And the thought alone of letting blades near anything between my legs lets me shiver in fear.
But down there ... oh boy. Let's try not talk about details here.

[Anonymous No.9574706]

>>9574532
Anon you replied to. I'm glad you asked cause I have a big nose as well and actually i'm very proud of my contour skills, so i'll try to explain. Basically you need to do the lines on top of the nose, not on the sides. Your mistake is using your natural nose shape, so you enhance it instead of stretching it. Imagine that you are drawing a new nose. When you have those two lines on top you have to blend them to the outer corners. That's what i do anyway, and it makes a huge difference. I hope that helps!
>>9574552
Also this.

[Anonymous No.9574721]

>>9574698

Male anon here again.
Excuse me for my English grammar that can be very bad sometimes, but I'll explain it as good as possible.

From my personal experience you NEVER use expensive 'shaving foam' on your delicate areas, even when the product says 'can be used for sensitive areas'. Almost every product has parfum or chemicals in it that can irritate your skin. And you don't want to scratch your balls all day long because of irritated skin..(been there, done that).

I was always afraid to use razor blades, especially down there since everything is delicate. I used every brand razor blades for males and somehow I always seemed to cut myself.
One day I forgot to buy new razor blades and I decided to use the razor blades from my gf instead (No worries, they weren't been used be her yet). And oh boy.. that was heaven on earth. I really don't know HOW female razor blades can shave so smooth af, but they do. I always thought; razor blades are razor blades right? No need for the blue or pink package. But yeah.. they work. Especially the brand I said earlier in the thread.

A few tips for shaving down there:
- NEVER use some kind of shaving foam. Just shave underneath the shower. The water will make your skin smooth so it'll make shaving easier.
- When you want to shave your genitals make sure you don't have 'lose' skin. Just hold the skin so it will be tight and easier to shave. Otherwise you WILL cut yourself (yeah... unfortunately been there and it hurts like hell).
- Shaving between your butcheeks is tricky, but you have to stand like a sumo wrestler with your legs spread.. Or just hold one leg up and try to shave. Oh, and hold your butcheeks apart so you have space to shave.

And take your time while doing it. No need to rush shaving there.. only bad things will happen from it.

I think this is good advice from male anon to male anon.

(photo is the blade I use)

What do I use for cinching? I have decent enough thighs and ass but the difference between my hips and waist is not enough.

[Anonymous No.9574955]

>>9574911
Depends on what kind of difference between hip to waist you want to have.

I use a stretchy broad belt I borrowed from my sister (without her knowing that)

It's one of these decorative belts that serve no purpose but to look like a belt. It gives like only 2 or 3 cm difference in hip to waist ratio but its good enough to be worn underneath a cosplay

Conditioner makes a great shaving cream substitute that is almost certainly privates friendly.

Coconut oil or baby oil is great to soothe the skin if you need it and you will need it if your hair is thick enough to stubble. I think the oil softens the hair, whatever it does it makes butthole stubble much less annoying.

I personally have moved to using Veet hair removal cream, the sensitive skin kind. Less work, better results/no stubble. I haven't had a bad experience, but it's something to test cautiously.

I'll be crossplaying a character with large breasts (fully covered so no cleavage illusion needed). Does anyone known an ez way of how to do this?

[Anonymous No.9576369]

>>9576327
step one: properly sized bra
step two: some kind of filling (socks, pantyhose filled with rice, breast forms
step two alternate: get those self-adhesive strapless nu-bras of each cup up to the cup size you want (I think), and layer them like a matryoshka on your chest
step three: pull that extra skin above them so that they're shaped more accurately, and don't look frumpy

another alternate: buy breastforms of the size you want somewhere.

[Anonymous No.9576389]

>>9576369
Thank you very much for writing this out. I'll be keeping it as a guide. As well, what in particular were you referring to with "extra skin?" Thanks.

[Anonymous No.9576423]

>>9576389
if you feel around your chest you should have at least some fat stored between your nipples and your armpits, that you most people can pull up above the padding to create a better shape at the top of the breasts.

[Anonymous No.9576433]

>>9576423
I'm having a hard time imagining how I'd get the skin/fat to stay there. How does that work?

[Anonymous No.9576441]

>>9576433
with tape and will power

[Anonymous No.9576447]

>>9576433
you pull it up, and inward, then you tuck the padding under it, and into the bra. As the skin tries to return to it's original position it pushes against the padding, and can't move past it due to the bra keeping the padding in place. Which is why it's vital to have a proper-sized bra

[Anonymous No.9576448]

>>9576447

[Anonymous No.9576449]

Sorry for all the questions, but just to be safe for sizing since I'm going out tomorrow, what should I measure right now to find the right bra size?

[Anonymous No.9576453]

>>9576449
measure all the way around your chest, right across your nipples. That is your band size. Cup size, in the case of crossplayers depends on how big the character's breasts are. Then after you get a bra, you get to mess around with the shoulder straps to set it at the right height.. In a previous thread, (about a year ago?) a kind anon taught me that the middle of the breasts should be around halfway between your shoulder and elbow.

[Anonymous No.9576494]

[Anonymous No.9578634]

[Anonymous No.9578637]

>>9578630
Depends on how much shape you need. I have these and I'm not a fan of them because they don't really add a ton of hip imo. But I also prefer a more exaggerated hip area on myself. If you crossplay alot, you should look into making your own. More cost effective and more customizable to what shape you're looking for.

[Anonymous No.9578643]

>>9578637
Thanks for the tip. I'm trying to avoid making them for now but I'll definitely consider it once I get more experience crossdressing (I'm trying to aim for a natural look, if that makes sense). Do you wear custom hip pads too? If not, what do you use?

[Anonymous No.9578654]

>>9578643
I made my own, yeah. Those that you linked should be fine for you if you're on the thin side and want natural though. They work well enough for me when I'm wearing a more toned down/less body crossplay. Though just an FYI you can get the same ones on ebay for cheaper.

[Anonymous No.9580230]

Is contouring for male to female crossplaying the same as contouring for male to female 4real?
Also to feminize the face beyond contouring I'm doing eyeliner/shadow/mascara and foundation/concealer of course. Is there anything to be done to the lips? Anime characters tend to have no actual lip color, so maybe just keep them at max health/hydration?

[Anonymous No.9580238]

>>9571188
If it's a character like Felix from Re:zero where they just drew a girl and called it a boy then you're probably best off asking questions here.

[Anonymous No.9580517]

>>9580230

Yes, you will need to find references for the shape of face you are aiming for, not forgetting that you have to take into account your own features. Find those who cosplay these characters and how they contour, if they do, if you are cosplaying a character with strong features, you will have some fun.

For lips, you will obviously need a pencil so you do not have wonky lipstick/gloss if you intend to use it. Make sure to prep lips first by also applying foundation to them. What I normally do is when I get to lips, I apply balm around the working area, line across my lip line then colour in (always colour in), then on top of that, apply lipstick. Applying pencil all over and then lipstick allows for lipstick to stay and retain its colour for longer.

In terms of anime character lip colour, you have to assume they have lips so you will need to use the appropoate colour.

I used to live with a professional "female impersonator", i.e. a drag queen, and he made his own hip pads by cutting up some upholstery foam and just stuffing it into some nylons, and he wore multiple nylons in layers to help keep it secure. I thought that sounded ghetto as hell, but when he did it he would suddenly have rockin' Kardashian level hips, plus the layered nylons had the added affect of making his legs look better. You might want to look into doing something like that, it turns out it's a pretty common trick.

It's expensive and useless if your hair isn't light. I have dark brown hair and while it indeed melted the hairs, it didn't stop or even slow down regrowth.

I used it for 3 months, went through about 16 replacement heads and then gave up.

It only burns about the first 2 weeks of using it. After that it's fine, just not effective.

Also the technique to getting the head to jump up takes some getting used to.

One thing I do remember that this guy doesn't mention is that it's actually better to put the rounded part you carve inward against your skin, not outward like he says, that way it smooths out better and doesn't look like cellulite. My roommate use to also create the illusion of not wearing pads by wearing opaque dance tights that matched his skin color as close as possible first, then a few pairs of sheer tights over those. It seriously made it look like those were his actual hips and butt, shit was nuts.

Your jawline can be sculpted quite easily with contouring and I think the nose isn't a game breaker. No real reason why it wouldn't work I think. I think the next question you need to tackle is if your character's haircut is flattering and helps soften your features as well.

I don't really have any other important notes when it comes to wearing heels. Those 3 were things I got told when I was practicing with heels. But there is one thing that a lot of people might want to keep in mind: heels are noisy, and the sound is distinct; other people in the house will hear, and most will know. So if for some reason you need to keep this stuff hidden, wait until no one is home, or try them out somewhere else, like outside during the later evening/early night when most other people are inside.
Or if you have cash to spend, practice with a nice unisex pair of platform boots that have some heel to them, last I checked those weren't completely out of common fashion

The problem is that with my facial hair growing so fast, a bunch of it gets stuck to that and it's HYPER obvious. Is there some sort of application method which would hide it, or am I just gonna have to suck it up and get that laser hair treatment I've been eying?

[Anonymous No.9605315]

>>9605281
You can pluck it, it'll take some time to grow back since you remove the hair from deep inside. Also, plucking is semi permanent since it can damage the root of the hair follicles and, just like laser, make it impossible for hair to grow back, but it almost doesn't happen, so laser is the most permanent for sure. Sometimes good deals appear on groupon and shit, just look for it and don't buy the portable ones, those don't work most times.

[Anonymous No.9605316]

I never actually thought to go check places like Groupon, I know there's somewhere local which does it but the number of treatments required makes it pretty extortionate. Plucking in the meantime might be for the best; that area gets pretty inflamed on shaving too, thanks.

Ru paul's drag race made drag part of pop culture so a lot of younger straight women are starting to like it for different reasons. Either because of the sassy attitude, the glamour, or just for inspiration to be different.

Women generally like gay guys anyway since they're harmless, are probably better looking than straight men, and might enjoy doing feminine things with them like shopping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-YCdcnf_P8

As for straight women liking crossdressers I guess it's just their personal preference. Like, why do you like the things you do? Although I was actually surprised how intensely some women like crossdressers after I started crossdressing myself, and I'm a straight cis male.

[Anonymous No.9608106]

>>9608015
Are you doing actual gothic lolita, or your own version of jfash? I'm just asking, because there are very few "made my own" lolita dresses that actually end up looking good. Especially if you stand next to people's burando.

If you're looking for styles, outside of gothic lolita I guess there's aristo and ouji but those aren't too "gothic", and male gothic jfash doesn't seem to exist except maybe viz kei or brands like h.naoto?

If you're just looking for broad shoulder tips, maybe just style the top like a jsk or even a halter top and wear a long sleeve blouse or cute outerwear. Broad shoulder is a body type problem that can usually be solved with tricks, not by finding specific styles.

Otherwise post pics so we can get a better sense.

The different lolita styles haven't changed. And it hardly matters what's recently trendy as long as your coord is good.

You can do your own research on lolibrary for inspiration, and look through brands like moi meme moitie, atelier pierrot, antique beast, etc etc, and figuring out the different substyles yourself. Go lurk the coord threads and look at archives, they have good content.

Thanks for the info. The ftm thing is just more about finding something to compliment my body type. I still have wide hips and a narrow waist. But I now also have very broad shoulders and thick arms. The fat redistribution has done a number on my body shape and I'm not sure how to find a top style to compliment that.

[Anonymous No.9608205]

>>9608184
Ah. No problem.

As a brolita I just steer clear of shorter sleeves, puffy shoulders, or things like capes. Longer sleeves and wrist/hand accessories can detract attention from arms/shoulders.

Attract attention to the center, which is really easy with lolita as your main piece is the most eye catching especially if it has a border print. Wear curly wigs that help cover your shoulders. Lolita is pretty forgiving for large shoulders, so don't overthink it. However, learn to pose at an angle for cameras.

Otherwise just google broad shoulder tips.

People (more often girls than guys) tend to think it's okay to grope my fake breasts in public.
It's not that the touch itself is unpleasant - I'm not going to pretend this is actual sexual harassment - but I'm worried every time that any onlookers will do a double take on me when they see it.
I feel like if I react like a normal girl would they'd think I'm overreacting, since they just touched some fabric and silicon pads - I don't want to be a drama queen, so I mostly try to play it down.
This is easily enough explained to friends who are used to seeing me dressed, but regularly friends of friends and new acquaintances seem to think this is appropriate and just go for it without asking.

All I want you to do is to sit back and really think about what you're doing. You're playing dress up for your tv show character. That's it. You may say, "oh but it's expensive" or some thing, but I've seen more expensive and autistic hobbies where the hobbyists don't act like their whole lively hood has been destroyed when someone makes a snide comment. You're not pushing some social boundary, you're not making a statement, I didn't even know there was a dedicated trap shit place until I glanced over this board. I said 6 words and you guys are giving me paragraphs about how I want to join your game or some shit?? Loosen up, literally don't get your panties in a twist.

I know this is feeding the troll, but I'll keep it to one post.

From one visiting /r9k/ anon to another, nobody seems to be doing the things you're saying. From what I see, nobody is trying to push some social boundary or make a statement, and nobody is acting like their livelihood is destroyed because of you. They're just trying to partake in a hobby they enjoy, but then you come in with the sole purpose of shitting on them for some reason I can't fathom.

Would you like it if you were watching your favorite anime (or whatever it is you do) and some nigger came in and started talking shit about you and your anime? If you don't like their hobby, then you can always go back to /r9k/ or to a /cgl/ thread that does interest you. These people don't have to justify their hobby to you. If you're trying to find someone to blame for the trap crisis on /r9k/, you should direct your blame at /lgbt/ since they're the degenerates pushing titty skittles and openly doing kinky shit. At the very least be more creative and tone down the exaggerations if you stick around to shitpost these people.

Alright, tried the second batch of it today.
It -does- work, surprisingly well in fact, but it's messy as hell and it seems like it'll need multiple applications to get everything. Apparently it took multiple tries to get anything with my hair, which isn't a surprise.
Bonus is that epilating legs afterwards doesn't hurt anywhere near as much because of how weak the hair is.
Maybe after a third application, if it cleans up the rest, I'd be able to recommend it. Was nice to see hair literally just falling off my legs and butt.

The top had a somewhat weird cut, when I added padding the loose area appeared -above- my chest like I tented the whole thing out.

You might want to go for some hip padding. Also, keep your shoulders down, smile and relax! You look tense and unnatural.But overall- good job!

[Anonymous No.9624663]

>>9624599
Part of the reason for the tense, not smiling thing is that that's an action pose, with weapons drawn and whatnot - but yes, the reason I chose that one is because when I smile even slightly I get bags under my eyes that are the size of Neptune and Uranus respectively.

Pic related, and also for padding - I guess some subtle pads would be beneficial, I'm just somewhat cautious of making my hips plump when I'm already lanky overall, I'm worried that would look out of place.

use amazon or say it's for your girlfriend if that's the issue.

If that's not it you can fake it till you make it. Get a bra used from goodwill if they carry them, use some sock stuffing and maybe a little bit of contour if you need the cleavage line itself to be seen.

[Anonymous No.9625753]

>>9596437
I think that evening your skin tone with light foundation and / or just with powder would be the right balance. Mild contouring at tops but nothing very noticeable since Naoto seems very "neat" and clean faced.

>>9624927
You could buy several pairs of bras to create an illusion of bigger breasts and cleavage. Basically buy atleast 3 pairs of them with the smallest fitting your chest comfortably (or get slightly bigger ones so that you can fill them with socks to achieve them oppai) then the 2nd pair would be slightly bigger that gives the effect of bigger breasts and the 3rd pair would be push up bras that help you get the cleavage and again bigger looking, lifted breasts. You could also try contouring a cleavage but if you draw it on a flat surface it will look funny from different angles.

Planning of doing a Lust crossplay from FMA and I have a dilemma with her makeup. She seems to wear little to almost none except mascara and lipstick but my mug needs a layer of cake to look feminine. Would it be too crude to do a full blown makeup with false lashes, drawn eye crease, glitter etc instead of trying to look more "fresh" ?

I'm also interested to know people's opinion regarding minor changes of character designs that help cosplayers look more feminine or masculine if that's one of the major points of the cosplay. For example adding paddings on waist and chest to seem more hourglass shaped and feminine even though the character looks slim or not that curvy. Also wearing clothes in a different manner or cut them differently to accentuate your best points.

I'm interesting in crossplaying as a genderbent Hakan (from street fighter).

I've been having fun thinking about what a girl Hakan would look like, and eventually I wanna try doing it. Any advice on the following?

-Body paint that can make me look like a red person without the paint peeling or coming off when I pour olive oil on myself.

-Lightly padding a makeshift leather bra so I can wear only the bra and have it look okay. Like, no shirt, only bra. If I can't figure this out I'll use a tank top style instead to make it easier.

-The hair. Hakan's hair looks like it's got stone octopus rings on it. I was thinking to make it girly I could have two octopus tentacles, like twintails. I like that idea especially because Hakan's wife has sort of twintail braids, and I think it'd be a good reference. No idea how to make that though.

I have a fairly feminine body to begin with so the somewhat revealing nature of this isn't a huge problem. Fuck, Hakan's so cool.

You know you're not crossplaying if you're cosplaying a genderbent variant of a character, right? You're just regularly cosplaying a OC based on a character of the opposite sex.
For you to crossplay him I'd suggest getting something like this in red (http://www.flexdesigncostumes.com/standard-muscle-suit.html)), getting/making the shorts, armband and leg band as needed, paint your face & feet, and make a low profile helmet sort of thing for whatever helmet / hair thing he has going on.

Not sure how many FtM crossplayers lurk in these threads, but I'll shoot anyway.
Recently I've started listening to The Adventure Zone, and I'm planning to cosplay someone from it for my next con. Initially I was planning to do one of the females, but my bf and my brother mentioned cosplaying it as well, and I love the idea of doing a tres horny boys group. I'd love to cosplay Taako, but I have a very large chest (around 110 cm). I've been looking into binders, but I'm wondering if there are any larger busted girls who have experience with different brands and how they work. Right now I'm looking at GC2B because they have a really good size range.

[Anonymous No.9640237]

>>9640013
If you want to get as flat as possible, do underworks. My friend has huge tits and they get her as small as possible. I use underworks when I want to be super flat, but I do love my GC2B binder. GC2B is more comfortable for all day wear.

Just understand that even at your flattest, you have a lot to work with and you will still have mass around your chest. When arranging your tits in the binder, try and keep them round and don't let them pancake. Think about where your nipple would sit if you didn't have boobs and try and keep the extra fat closer to your band area/armpit because it's easier to hide. Figure out what works best for you! Keep your chest in mind when choosing your top for your cosplay so you don't emphasize your chest.

I hope that helps! Good luck!

Also, thanks for the tips on being a good crossplayer, it really enlightened me on how decent I should be to work on a hobby which decency is of little concern, as you can see on cosplaying as a whole.

>>9641529
You're probably right, although I'd say the percentages of lurkers from other boards here greatly overwhelms the one's doing it with respect to the character (if you think that exists). See, this is the only helpful thread in regards to crossdressing on all 4chan for all I know, it's bound to have a great number of fetishists that want to do it right instead of posting their hairy, fat selves in panties, dresses and stockings on /b/ or /soc/, maybe even doing it so they feel better with themselves.

I wouldn't mind you bringing actual advice to the thread, decency or not, but your "facts" about this are both unhelpful and give lurkers a wrong impression.

A cage is rigid thing, the shape it makes under your clothes is big compared to wearing tight fitting underwear (regardless of if it's intended for boys or girls).
It smooths out the shape and doesn't involve making your dick inaccessible.
Literally the only advantage a cage has is for fetish play. I won't have you run around and make people think that they either have to learn to push their balls back into their abdomen or purchase sex toys in order to safely wear a skirt in public.

And let me empathize this again: I have no issue with anyone who chooses to engage in any kind of fetish play, but please don't make it look like that's a prerequisite.

What do I need to know/do when buying pantyhose/tights? My only experience is with some Homura Akemi costume ones from Aliexpress.

Those were onesize and fit fine, but I'm a bit confused by the sizing and varieties on Amazon and other western retailers. I just want some generic black and skintone tights/pantyhose and I expected they'd mostly be onesize but there's like a million different kinds in different sizes.

Sizing is based on height and weight. If one size doesn't match both, pick the size that matches the larger of the two.
For example- Size A-B fits 4'-11 to 5'-7 and 95 to 140#. Size C-D fits 5'-4 to 6'-0 and 120 to 165#.
If you're 5'-2 and 110#, pick size A-B.
If you're 5'-6 and 135#, pick either size.
If you're 5'-2 and 150# or 5'-9 and 130# pick size C-D.

And if you're wearing any hip padding, pick a size that would fit someone 10-20# heavier, depending on how big the pads are.

Did my first crossplay yesterday, how bad was I? It was more of a more mainstream gaming convention than a comic con so there weren't many who recognized me or were cosplaying at all.

Some issues, some of which I already solved, some I'd love help with (but any feedback about anything is appreciated):

1. I avoided tucking thinking the huge skirt would hide it (along the sneakers) and that backfired a lot as it didn't hide either. Tried some tucking stuff tonight (tape+feminine panties) and seems to work, friend of mine also suggested some medical panties made for men with things like orchitis, giving some limited tucking with the possibility of peeing if necessary.

2. The shapewear I have is far too small, there's a huge bump between my chest and my waist. Just ordered one with more "coverage", up to the sholders, hope that will help.

3. I noticed the 5oclock shadow is quite visible, I wonder if I can solve that with stronger foundation?

4. Gotta get better shoes

5. I'm junk at moving/acting feminine, the spreadsheet section on the matter is empty, does anyone know what I should search about that?

Are overly tall crossplayers off-putting? Suddenly I'm self conscious about it. I didn't think it would be so noticeable until I actually put them on.

I'm doing my best to be as fit as possible and use padding and shapewear to at least cut the same figure as the character, or as close to the same as possible for a guy anyway.

Unless you're one of >1000 out of 7 billion people who somehow lucked out and has 100% flawless skin, it's going to look kinda gross regardless of what you do. And testosterone actively makes having decent skin nigh impossible anyway, so I'd suggest getting that morphsuit and not worrying about it.

NTAYRT, but what the hell sort of heels did you even get that would take you from "ok" to "oh fuck I'm tall" with her? Shiny's doesn't even look that tall in the image you supplied.
Then again, I value being accurate to the character quite a bit, so maybe if you went even an inch extra I could see how you feel anon.

Oh sorry, forgot to mention, it's supposed to be Rose Lalonde from Homestuck (Black Squiddle dress).

> that's some man in a wig tier stuff
Could you elaborate on that?

> your face just screams man
Is is the 5oclock shadow or are you also talking about the shape? I thought my face was round enough to not seem obviously masculine, so maybe there's something I'm missing.
I also fucked up the lipstick quite a bit so maybe that's part of the problem too? (and no eye makeup at all)

[Anonymous No.9649855]

>>9649845
Not that guy, but,
>You say you thought your face looked round, I'm not getting that at all from the photo.
>Double chin / neck/lower jaw flab not helping matters either.
>No beard shadow would help, but not by much.
>No chest.
>Hip to weight as it is, is completely square.
The last two points might be because of whatever character your trying to crossplay, but you need all the help you can get when doing so.
Also, contouring makeup might help things immensely in the face department.

[Anonymous No.9650145]

>>9649855
Thank you! I'm actually amazed you don't find the beard shadow to be a problem, it annoys me a lot every time I glance at that photo.

>You say you thought your face looked round, I'm not getting that at all from the photo.
Might have used the wrong words then, maybe what I meant was more like.. not-square? My jawline isn't sharp and the fat is probably smoothing some of the rougher areas.

>Double chin / neck/lower jaw flab not helping matters either.
I hope that gets better as I keep losing weight. Would that be such a dealbreaker for passing though?

>No chest.
I avoided that because, as you correctly thought, the character is supposed to be flat or almost flat. Might try making some up and seeing if it helps with passing as you suggest. I have some nubras and shit around.

>Hip to weight as it is, is completely square.
Could I solve that with pads? I have some foam I got for making diy hip pads but never came around to actually doing them.
Friend of mine said that my chubbiness would take care of that but if anything I think being fat means that my hip must be ever bigger to compensate.

>Also, contouring makeup might help things immensely in the face department.
Will try that! Never considered contouring, but I think I know a friend who should be decent at it.

[Anonymous No.9650166]

>>9650145
My point in saying
>No beard shadow would help, but not by much.
was more that the other problems were overshadowing (mild pun completely intended) your 5 o'clock shadow.
Your face, shape wise, could be way worse, but needs something (contouring) to be passable.
Even if the character in question is completely flat chested, not every woman who'd want to cosplay the character is. Even having A, borderline B cups and a obvious bra would help in passing quite a bit.
Pic related was a attempt I had made for figuring out the hip / waist issue, and I'd say it looks slightly better in person than the pictures show because of the angle I took them at and the wide angle lens. So yes, with foam pads and shapewear you can solve that as long as you proportion yourself right.

Laser hair removal reduces regrowth. Had it done just the once (had to get a refund for the rest due to having it overdone) and now it grows back finer and at least 50% slower overall.

Generally speaking though, shaving every day or two is normal.
