Clothes, makeup, hair, and other such things

Oh no, those are all gorgeous. Nilla's is my favorite.

 

Is this the place to talk perfume? Cause I'm testing a bottle of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Dionysia that I got from Facebook and while I shouldn't be buying perfume, i am made of caffeine and bad decisions, and Dionysia sounded so good. So good.

and it is so good i'm tearing up a little.

 

yes, it is
and wow, that sounds nice.

 

pops into this thread
I used polyvore to come up with some outfit ideas for Adara, my Percy Jackson oc

Spoiler

(I have established that she likes shiny things.)

 

i really love seeing people's oc outfits it's really interesting

 

I really love making them because it just...gives me a better idea of who they are? I guess because I put a lot of who I currently am into my wardrobe. I use it to express myself and who I am. so my characters do the same, and so making a bunch of outfits for them, I come out going "I understand them so much better now!"

 

Adara still super adorbs
Andddd now I need to make Lark's clothing.

 

i'm the same exact way! part of it is getting to live out fantasies of ways i would dress if i had a certain body type/infinite money, and part of it is exploring someone's personality through clothes and also visually representing my ocs in some fashion since i can't draw

 

do it do it do it
Adara dresses in lots of silver and gold and turquoise and purple and white, I've decided
her wardrobe is mostly those colors, with some gray and black mixed in
and she plays video games :D

yes, exactly! I love to explore the personalities of my ocs through clothes, and since I am not super imaginative when it comes to clothes, I enjoy getting ideas for things to draw them in in the event I do draw them. it's also fun to be like "ooooooh I would wear this if I had infinite money/the right body type".
.....like those nebula galaxy boots in the second picture. I would so wear those. if I had ninety bucks. which I don't and probably won't for a long while.

 

so ngl but part of the reason i named my cyclops oc nilla is because she's me as a cyclops who can afford to dress how i would, thus Chocolate and (Va)Nilla

ahahahaha i'm so clever

 

I like it, this is a good
man if I could dress the way I wanted to.... it would be amazing...

 

(pst @chaoticArbiter its really easy to paint your own galaxy shoes)

 

GASP
IT IS
HOW
HOW DO I DO THIS
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO
I HAVE A PAIR OF BLACK BOOTS DOES THAT WORK

 

Well there are like fucking millions of tutorials online for like, sneakers that you could ref off, but basically you get
blues, purples, pink, and white paint
sponges
toothbrush
black shoes

firstly TAPE THIGNS YOU DONT WANT TO PAINT, AND REMOVE LACES
then you sponge on different blues and purples to look like nebula dealios, thats your big oll basic background, and add white cloudy stuff where you've put lighter colours
add different space start/nebula stuff, whatever the heel you feel like, and the finishing touch is dipping a tooth brush into the white paint and flickingthe paint onto your shoe to make tiny stars
if you get a big glob somewhere, edit it into another star thing
seal it with something (idfk, i know this in theory, less practice) (you could probs find stuff online quickly)
done!
make sure your seal stuff is water proof so they dont get wrecked

 

:D :D :D :D
I am going to make so many pairs of galaxy boots

 

the nice thing about galaxy print is that noone is gonna go "THATS NOT SPACE DO IT RIGHT"
so you dont have to worry about fucking up

also this works for basically anything you want to make galaxy print, though stiffer bases work better since they wont be wrinkling/folding and cracking the paint

 

:DDDDDD
I will make ALL the galaxy things

 

A bit late, but @chaoticArbiter I made some galaxy stuff a while ago, here's the specific tutorial I used: http://www.autostraddle.com/how-to-own-it-the-queer-grrls-guide-to-the-galaxy-149697/ (scroll past the other fashion advice)

And here's the vest I made:

If I did it again I'd go for more color variation, and also start with an actually black item of clothing instead of a medium-grey one.

(I did my Converse too. Their state of advanced disrepair was not helped by the bleach, but I do get compliments on them pretty often.)

 

gesp
it's so prettyyyyyy
I WILL MAKE ALL THE GALAXY THINGS

 

I am attempting nail polish. I bought a couple of things on amazon, with a variety of colors, does anyone have any advice for me?
