Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms.

Cosplay Feature: The Amazing Makeup of It's Raining Neon!

One cosplayer I had the pleasure of finally meeting at NYCC this year was DeAnna Davis. On the internet she's mainly known by her page name of It's Raining Neon! On that Saturday she was wearing her Mara Jade Skywalker from the extended Star Wars Universe created in the books. DeAnna makes incredible outfits ranging from a World of Warcraft Death Knight to characters such as Black Widow and Catwoman. I wasn't able to pick a favorite outfit of mine to show but instead I also remembered she's absolutely incredible in makeup.

One of the albums on her Facebook page is devoted to close up shots of her face showcasing the makeup which makes her look like one of the characters she either has cosplayed or hasn't. Let me tell you that these are SPOT ON! Some of them Final Fantasy characters like Ultimecia to ones she's tackled before like Mad Moxxi from Borderlands 2. Some of these shots make me wish DeAnna would just go ahead and create the rest of the cosplay because she would look so amazing in it!

Ultimecia from Final Fantasy 8
I definitely am interested in knowing what materials Neon uses to capture the look of these characters. Makeup is definitely one of her strong suits and I hope she does something like this again in the near future! Below are some other personal favorite shots of other makeup shots she did!
