FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

kateordie:

Funny story: I used to be a makeup artist for a living. I went to school and worked for MAC for close to a year. I get a lot of questions about how I wear lipstick, so here’s a little doodle answer. Kisses!

A great tutorial on how to apply red lipstick, courtesy of the lovely Kate Leth.

P.S. Kate, you should totes illustrate more makeup tutorials.

Spotted at Forever 21: a Speed Racer dress?

Coordinate with a pair of lucky red socks (or tights, if you prefer) and a Mach 5.

Best Cosplay Ever (This Week) - 02.18.13

Although cosplay has been present for decades within the comics, anime, and sci-fi/fantasy fandoms, social media has played an integral role in the thriving communities of costuming that exist, such as Cosplay.comand the Superhero Costuming Forum. In honor of the many fans who’ve displayed excellence in the mastery of homemade disguise, craftsmanship, and sartorial superheroics, ComicsAlliance has created Best Cosplay Ever (This Week), an ongoing collection of some of the most impeccable, creative, and clever costumes that we’ve discovered and assembled into a super-showcase of pure fan-devoted talent.

Above: Wonder Woman, cosplayed by nemu013.

Barbara Gordon wears Marc Jacobs Spring 2012, with a bonus Dick Grayson wearing Ovadia & Sons Fall 2012 for tigerlilyattack
Marc Jacobs seemed so wonderfully inspired by 20’s and 60’s attire that I couldn’t resist. Happy Belated Valentine’s Day! Hope you like :’)

_{(Details I missed and didn’t fix because of lazy: her pockets and his right double pocket. Kind of want to do another one later to showcase her blue dress and shoes more.)}
