…s a somewhat reluctant ally for the merc with a mouth and one Deadpool sorely needs. You don’t need the X-gene to copy Colossus’ look thankfully. To copy his metal-coated skin you can either use a silver bodysuit and black marker for the body then use silver and black body paint for your face and hands. Or, if you prefer the paint over the bodysuit, you can use just the paint. You’ll need a few paintbrushes to pull off the finer detail, though. Re…

She dreams of following her own path and leading her own life, which defied age-old custom and causes a bit of chaos in the kingdom. Follow this costume guide to replicate Merida’s look, from her fiery orange locks to her green velvet gown. For Merida’s makeup, we recommend this Merida makeup tutorial….

…dorable little race car drivers, all of them sugar sweet in costume even if their personalities are a little sour. Candhead, however, is sweet inside and out. She’s the comedian of the group and loves to have a good laugh. Dressing up as Candlehead takes a little bit of handiwork. A brown beanie, pink felt, and an LED candle can be combined to recreate her hat. After that you just need a pink track jacket, brown shirt, pink skirt, brown leggings,…

…The Simpsons’ Comic Book Guy is notoriously pedantic, annoying, and above all else, lonely. You may want to trim the wig a little bit to really capture his receding hairline. Also: grabbing a slushie from your local 7-Eleven on the way to your event would definitely help breathe authenticity into this cosplay….

…Jake The Dog. This cake costume is pretty simple, but to make it a little bit closer to the actual patterning on her fur I suggest getting fabric paint and painting the large front pocket on the overall skirt yellow with one of the larger flat nylon brushed in the set. If you are worried about making a mess I suggest outlining the pocket with tape first. I also Included face paint. I suggest doing a circle around one eye and then use black for th…

…ination that fuels her adventures. Kelsey’s cosplay requires just a little bit of DIY but is fairly straight-forward. Pink shorts, blue rain boots, a dark blue cape, and a pet budgie are the easy-to-gather parts of the costume. A red wig will replicate her hair but it will have to be styled in a bun that sits at the back of the head. Her shirt is where the DIY really comes in though. The chest of Kelsey’s shirt is taken up by a large, pale heart….
