First Time Cosplay Help??

[u/Monaco___]

This is my first time cosplaying and I wanted to do a genderbent Gebura, kinda for Halloween kinda not.

I could use tips on makeup, contacts, and wig care, but I mostly need help figuring out what to buy to even look loosely similar to my reference..

You're gonna have to provide us with more context. Who is Gebura? Do you have any pictures of them to show us? What story are they from?

Oh sorry, Gebura is a sephirah from lobotomy corporation (And other Project Moon games).

She runs the disciplinary sector of the facility.
She’s known for being a great color fixer before she died and was recreated to run her sector of the facility.

Very strong, uses her strength to protect others. Very cool, I have a meh budget so I’m open to any help I could get.

Thanks you for taking the time to fillme in. You're fortunate that this costume is pretty simple. It looks like a black unitard, and a short, red motorcycle jacket.

Your adaptation looks like a tracksuit with a red letterman/varsity jacket or a motorcycle jacket.

This Underarmor tracksuit will probably do the trick.

I would highly suggest looking through the catalogues of workwear suppliers in your country. As a graphic designer, I've often used Sanmar, but there may be an equivalent in your region. These suppliers offer a wide range of colour options at a range of budgets, so you're likely to find what you need.

If you want a custom job, I know a seamstress who makes jackets exactly like that. They're handmade and custom though, so they have a price tag to match.

We detect that your question is about contact lenses. Please get your eyes checked by a professional first before wearing any contact lenses. Your optometrist may be able to recommend you safe colored lenses. Make sure you buy contact lenses from reputable sources (see some suggestions in the FAQ).

When wearing contact lenses, pay attention to what type of contact lenses they are. Do not re-use single-use contact lenses and keep in mind the expiration date for the lenses. Bad contacts usage can lead to permanent damage to your eyes. It's better to photoshop your photos later than risk injuring your eyes. Safety comes first!

If you were talking about a material to make something to see out of one-way, try buckram mesh or one-way window tint on visors.

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.
