First things first, I want to thank The Five Wits for sending me this amazing Shiro wig cleverly titled “I’ll Form The Head”. It’s only $30 on their website, and fits me very well—and I have a HUGE head and a hard time fitting all of my hair into wig caps. You can find the wig here (x) (Link will open in a new window).
I fell HARD into Voltron recently. Like marathon-the-whole-series-in-two-days falling. So of course, I decided I want to cosplay every single paladin AND Allura. I already have Lance mostly finished, but... Space dad had my heart from day 1. I knew I just had to cosplay him!
Full tutorial under the cut!
I don’t do anything special to fit my hair in a wig cap. I just use an open ended netted wig cap and just… tuck up my hair and slip my wig on. I do usually secure my wigs in with bobby pins, but for the sake of this tutorial, and thanks to not bringing any to my dorm… there’s no bobby pins. So you might see some of my hair poke through.
Also note. Make sure the wig you are using is elasticated like this one. If it is netted or something, it’s hard to fit a lot of long hair!
Changing gears for a minute, I decided to start with my basic foundation and then go on to the scar. I decided to take my foundation and some dark brown eye shadow, and mix it on the back of my hand until I got the color I liked.
I used a small angle brush to do this.
Then I just sort of painted it on! I didn’t want it symmetrical or anything, as a real scar wouldn’t be, but I did try to make it even in terms of thickness on both sides.
Then I added a little bit of this color on the crease of my eyes as a base coat to work off of later. I added a bit under my eyes too, as space dad is Very Tired ™ and I wanted to look like a very worn out parental unit.
Then wait, let it dry, which takes ages. But the scar can still be a little wet when we do the next part- coloring.
To make sure I was getting the color right, I pulled open a reference image of Shiro, and wondered why the hell the scar was pink…
Anyway. Time to shade. I used this reddish/brown color I had in my ELF Makeup Pallet and dabbed it on, working from the center and out to the edges. I did this to try and concentrate the heaviest color by my nose, where the scar would be deeper.
I realized here it still wasn’t bright enough, so I just used a bright hot pink and dabbed that on top VERY lightly to make the color a bit closer to cannon. I used my finger to make sure that color was firmly on top of the foundation.
Onto the lips! I used a lip balm first, because foundation is a recipe for chapped and painful lips let me tell you. Then after a very nice smelling balm, I put a TINY bit of foundation onto my lips. Now I look ™ manly.
Onto the eyes! I used some dark brown eye shadow on top of the base I put down earlier to darken the crease area, and blended that out.
Then I realized looking at my reference that Shiro wears fucking eyeliner and laughed my ass off for a solid 5 minutes.
Then got to work with my ELF liquid liner in black, doing a VERY THIN line and a small wing. Try not to make the wing super thick and feminine here!
Then for eyebrows. Mine are already very thick and dark, so I used black eyeshadow to help fill in and shape my eyebrows to be more like his.
Put your wig on AFTER you do your makeup, so you have more room to work and there's no white floof in your face. And also pull your wig on from back to front, then work on adjusting all the little flaps.
(Also have your roommate take pictures for you if you’re making a tutorial)
Style your wig and then poof you’re done!
Realizing your mom is picking you up in 10 minutes from your dorm is an optional, yet hilarious, step.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me! Thanks again to The Five Wits for making this tutorial possible!
Review of Creative Colors Rainbow Notes from Five Wits Wigs!
The wig can be found here, and there will be more pictures, as well as the review, under the cut.
The wig I am reviewing is Creative Colors Rainbow Notes from Five Wits Wigs. The first thing I'd say about this wig is that it is very long and very soft. It appears full, though it is a bit thin and if not styled carefully, you may be able to see the netting underneath the wig. I didn't have to do much styling of it right out of the package, it is very curly and wavy in some parts. The bangs are a little long so some may want to trim them, but I chose not to. The colors are vibrant pastel, really beautiful shades of pink and purple and green and blonde. The wig is heat resistant, but when I tried to curl the bangs a bit, they didn't seem to want to hold curl the same way the rest of the wig does. However, it doesn't get frizzy when exposed to heat. The wig is a bit small, it fit well on my head because I have short hair, but if you have a lot of hair to put under a wig cap, it may be difficult. The wig is brushable, though I didn't brush it much out of fear of brushing out the beautiful curls. It got a little frizzy in the place that I brushed it, but it isn't bad at all. I just don't want to brush out the curls. As I stated before, the bangs are a little long, but they are easily pinned back. The bangs are mainly pink and blond, but there is plenty of color throughout the entire wig. I would highly recommend this wig if you were planning on cosplaying the notepad from Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, as well as multiple trickster characters from Homestuck, Jade and Feferi just to name a couple. It would also work fantastically for a lot of different lolita looks.
