Oliver Kirkalnd ~ Cosplay Tutorial

So, Being in Britain when you have an obsession with Japan culture and cosplay can be hard. I'm here to teach you all how to look like your favourite Japanese pop stars, idols, anime characters, vocaloids etc. But not look over the top and get made fun of for it. I swear, British people can be mean when it comes to dying your hair blue or wearing huge contact lenses because it seems weird or psycho to dress and/or look that way (personal experience there...) Okay, This tutorial will be on how to look like the little 2p cutie of Hetalia, Oliver Kirkland ~

So firstly, The clothing. Now, Oliver has a tendency to wear cute, child like clothing. Mostly brightly coloured...or red.....depending on what he's done.. ^//^ heehee. So pink is usually a necessity or if you don't like pink, it doesn't suit you or you just don't want to wear it, that's fine, he also has a tendency to wear blue or any bright colour. His clothes are mostly simple, but partially layered. He's usually seen wearing a long sleeved white shirt under a sleeveless pink. So Wearing a waistcoat or sleeveless vest is usually the way to go. Again if you don't suit those kind of jumpers, just wear a zip up jacket or something, but again, make sure it's either pink or a bright/pastel-y colour like lilac. Try to wear a long sleeved shirt of a light colour under the jacket, waistcoat or sleeveless jumper. Oliver tends to dress a little feminine, no offence....but it makes him look so cute heehee. With trousers, he's usually seen wearing blue jeans, like this writing blue...he's also is known for wearing brown jeans or chino's which again make him look super cute. ~
Secondly, the hair. So if you're a guy it's pretty much ruffling it up and/or growing it out a little. He has blonde or strawberry blonde hair (down there) depending....

Or pink to match his attire (Down there)

So for girls like me, you can buy a wig, but that might get you strange looks....for a girl I wouldn't recommend dying your hair pink, red or blonde unless it's natural. If you're hair's naturally brunette, then leave it that way, just wear it cutely. Now to have hair like Oliver, you don't need to have it just like his, you just have to match it with the personality. So wear it cutely, put it half up, add a bow maybe..do whatever you think makes you look cuter.
Next step, the skin. Oliver tends to have freckly skin but uses make up to cover the freckles up.

Now, now Oliver, no need to hide those cute freckles~
So yeah, Oliver likes to hide his freckles, self concious I suppose, but you, if you naturally have freckles that's fine. Sometimes he doesn't even try to hide them . . . but he doesn't always show them, it's up to you whether or not you want to show off your freckles.
Next to the freckles, he has porcelain like features. His skin is clear, other than the freckles that sometimes show. Again, the skin is clear, he has no spots and his skin is pale. Use make up to make your skin so porcelain, or you can use the mask tutorial. Which ever you do, if your skin is naturally pale and clear, lucky you ~
If not..then use a light foundation and cover your face and partially down your neck to make it look normal. Apply a light layer of pale skin powder, and add an ivory or lighter shade of concealer over blemishes, wounds and such that you may or may not have on your face. Apply some concealer under your eyes where bags can be and just under the eyebrows to make your eyes look brighter.
Fourthly, the make up. So to look like Oliver is super easy. The eyes, well, living in Britain it wouldn't be smart to wear pink and blue swirly contact lenses. So if your eyes are, blue or green, great, that's pretty much the colour of his eyes, again depending..But if your eyes are brown or any other colour then that's fine too. Feel free to wear blue contacts if you really want to. If not, then that's alright . . . well Oliver's eyes are big. His eyes are cute and he has gorgeously big eyes. So to achieve this big eye look apply some white eye liner and/or eye shadow just under the eye. Rub the eye liner into the bottom of your eye to make the eyes appear wider. Apply a thin layer of black eye liner on the eyelid and make two fairly big flicks at the edge of your eyes to appear as fake anime like lashes.
So here you have it, How to look like Oliver Kirkland. Hope you guys enjoyed this. Since I act much like him, dress like and look similar, I love him so much . . . He's just so cute ~
