you don't need to change youre skintone for people to know what character you are :=) you are never too dark don't worry you're skin is beautiful and fine.

its not racist at all to be "pale" as reverse racism doesn't exist but you shouldn't have to change your skintone and if people think so they are most certainly not worth your time i know this doesn't help with what you asked but reconsider :00

lol. Thanks for the reply, it gave me an extra boost. Sometimes I get a bit nervous cosplaying something popular in public (because I've seen some people rant about how terrible a cosplay is because they don't physically look like their character). But, I'm starting to worry a little less about that. Thanks ^^

I have a friend that cosplayed Mikasa and she's Hispanic. People knew who she was. Like sausage said, you do not have to change your skin tone to cosplay your favourite character. Just putting on the costume and getting into character is enough for people to know who you are.

My friend actually did Potato Girl for a convention yesterday, and her skin tone is a little dark too. It ended up looking really good! I wouldn't worry about it, it'll end up looking fine no matter what skin tone you have.

The thing is, people don't care what you look like when you cosplay. Most people on the convention/cosplay scene are just happy that there are so many people into it. They don't care the color of your skin or if your body matches the character you are cosplaying. People are people. I've cosplayed Martians before. I'm definitely not a Martian. Personally though, I do like to look as much like the character as possible so I tend to pick characters I look like/can easily make myself look life. If you're really concerned with not looking like Sasha, you could always go for a character with darker skin like Ymir. I totally understand loving Sasha and wanting to cosplay her though. If I were you, I'd watch some videos of cosplayers doing their makeup to get some ideas. Typically when I do cosplay makeup, I use cryolan aquacolor for my face and neck and PAX mixed with acrylic paint for my hands. You can set it with baby powder or ben nye setting spray and it should last you all day. I also know that Ben Nye makes a lot of skin altering makeup so I'd look into that. If you want something cheaper and less drastic, Manic Panic makes a product (I think it's called White Out?) that you can use straight or mix with any liquid foundation to lighten it. So just add it to your makeup and it should lighten your skin without diluting your makeup. I hope this helps. Happy cosplaying!

I am guessing if you were to do one of the Humanoid MLP characters, you might want to use facepaint (like going blue for Rainbow Dash)
