Welcome to the third edition of Mana Wannabe: A step-by-step makeup guide! I can't believe it has been over five years since this site went online, and this has been the second renewal of both its content and layout. This page all started when I was asked for help on doing Mana makeup on by a fellow cosplayer way back in late 2002. Over the last five years this page has received praises, thanks and online promotion from many Mana cosplayers as well as Gothic Lolita enthusiasts, and I just wanted to say that I was very surprised and grateful for my humble website's popularity. Really, thank you to all of you out there!

If this is your first time visiting Mana Wannabe, welcome again and please use the navigations located at the top and bottom edges of the golden frame. If you have been here before, I hope you enjoy the brand new tutorial with completely rewritten instructions and all new photographic aids. You can still visit the older versions of Mana Wannabe (yes, I have even put the god-awful black-and-white first version back online...*shudder*), which has been linked to in "Guestbook and Links". Whichever the case, enjoy your stay, and please kindly sign the guestbook and leave me comments and critique. Happy cosplaying!

p.s. Clicking that picture up there in the dotted frame takes you to a mini-gallery of my Mana cosplay for this website. :D
