Hello every one of the cosplay community! I am Ally, better known as Unexpected Link Cosplay, and I am here to show you how to become the rough and tough Corporal Levi & Ackerman from Attack on Titan!
Before we start, you will need;
- Cleanser
- Plenty of cotton swabs
- A variety of makeup brushes and Blending Sponge
- Eyebrow Brush
- Glue
- Pallet of eye shadow (mostly blacks and browns)
- Foundation or Concealer
- Eyeliner- Liquid or Pencil- I use both (BLACK and WHITE; but white is optional)
- Loose or Compact powder
Face Prep

When you are finished, they should look like this:
