Bronzer: Hoola Deep
Eyeliner: Nyx Epic Ink Liquid Liner

Dressing for my Body Shape!

I have no idea what my body type is (I feel like it's either triangle or rectangle) and I'm struggling to buy properly fitting clothes as a result. Any help would be appreciated!

My measurements are 34-29-42

Cosplaying As Him, How to Do A Full Face With Red Face Paint?

As the title says. I’m DIY'ing the outfit and the claws (tips for the claws are also appreciated), but am stumped as to how to do my makeup.

I have a face paint in mind already. I have a black
makeup pencil to draw on the hairline and chin, and tons of red eyeshadow. What colors should I use to contour and make the blush?

Made Some Improvements, Any More Tips Before I Move To Eyes?

First pic is my most recent attempt (yesterday), second pic is my look from last week when I made the last post.

I took the advice y'all gave me last time and got a darker foundation and concealer. I did listen to the comments as well, and have decided to focus on my more natural features instead of looking sharp. I do think my recent attempt is an improvement but am open to any more suggestions before I start working on eye makeup.

I did not use any eye makeup because I am unsure of what fits my eyes best, I believe I have round eyes but I am not confident in that answer. I can use mascara well, but am a newcomer when it comes to eyeliner, lashes, and eyeshadow. Any tips on this would be extremely helpful! As for my eyebrows, I get those threaded professionally and will be going back next week.

Here's my current lineup for everything I have on:

Moisturizer: Cetaphil
Primer: elf Power Grip
Foundation: Clinique Even Better (WN 122 Clove)
Concealer: Juvia's Place (I Am Magic, 12)
Blush: MAC Mineralize Powder Blush (Happy-Go-Rosy)
Highlight: benefit glow-la-la (Nova) (powder/cream mix)
Contour: Fenty Match Stix Expresso (contour stick)
Bronzer: Hoola Deep
Setting Powder: Innisfree
