Hello, dear! You are lovely, and such an inspiration to everyone.... I'm terrified, because I really want to cosplay this girl (Maggie, from Ava's Demon) but her skin is darker than mine. She doesn't have quite the African glow, so I would place her just with either a spray tan gone wrong, or almost black. I hate my skin, it never tans, it burns if I'm in the sun for more than a second. What do I do?? Can I just not cosplay her? Thank you, for being a beautiful smile when I need one. xxx
You can cosplay whoever you want, anon :) I know nothing about tanning and spray tan and things so I can’t give good advice on it, I would just say don’t go too far with it. I remember seeing someone trying to do a black character and it ended up looking more orange than anything, and it was coming off on her costume :(
Just remember that there’s a difference between tanning and like… this and this and on the flip side this. And just in case, here’s an awesome video on the topic.
