Welcome to Mana Wannabe: A Step-by-step Makeup Guide! Here you will find my little project on imitating the makeup of the Queen of JRock: Mana-sama.

This page all started when my sister asked me to help her on doing Mana makeup on her friend for cosplay. Since I am overseas (and have too much time on hand), I decided to help her by making a guide of some sort. After lots of picture taking and some time at the computer, the guide magically morphs into the pages you will be reading soon.

There are three versions of Mana Makeup that I will be demonstrating in these pages. Version 1 is the "original" tutorial, which I did last year for helping my sister. Version 2 is what I did for a Gothic Lolita magazine in US, but of course there are far more pictures here than in the magazine. Beast of Blood is, well, how Mana's makeup was done in BoB.

Well, I don't waste your time by babbling on now, go ahead and pick a topic from the menu on the left. I hope you enjoy your stay, maximize the window if you can, and please sign the guestbook if you have time!
