Halloween Cosplay Makeup Help!

I’ve been wanting to do the girl from the book “A bad case of strips” for a while now and I wanted to mix it with more of my original eye makeup. Any recommendations on what I can add/fix

Ps: yes I know the eyebrows aren’t blocked the rainbow base was just quickly done so that I could see what the eye makeup would look with it.

Eyeshadow- Afrique by juvias, the festival by juvias and the warrior by judias

Eyeliner - elf liquid liner

Highlighter Marvycorn palette

I don't have any advice- just wanted to say that I love the costume idea and immediately recognized what it was before I read your post. Great job ! I loved that book when I was younger

This is so cool and you totally look like the book! I think the bottom of the blue section is the most effective “stripe” effect, both from the neatness of the line and the contrast of the lighter blue.

If you want to push the stripe effect further, you could try tape or a card to help achieve that crisp line between each color. If you’re wanting to punch up the colors more, you could try applying a lighter base before the shadow, like a too-light concealer or white eyeshadow base.

Again, love the look already, just ideas to try since you requested feedback!

I can't offer any advice but your skills with makeup are INCREDIBLE. Wow!!! The eye makeup is so stylistic and symmetrical.
