Tips

Let's dive a bit deeper into Code 002's captivating look! Code 002, also known as Zero Two, is a beloved character from the anime series "Darling in the Franxx." She's known for her striking and iconic appearance, making her a fantastic choice for cosplay. Here are some key elements to focus on when recreating her look:

1.

Skin:

Code 002's complexion is flawless, with a radiant and even skin tone. That's where your foundation and concealer come in. Remember to blend everything seamlessly for that flawless finish.

2.

Eyes:

Her eyes are the real showstopper. She sports a mesmerizing eye makeup look with deep red, pink, and mauve eyeshadow shades. The red eyeshadow creates a sense of mystery, while the pink and mauve add depth and dimension. Don't forget that bold winged eyeliner to make your eyes pop!

3.

Lashes:

Code 002's lashes are beautifully long and dark. While you can achieve this with a good mascara, you can consider adding false lashes for extra drama, though it's optional.

4.

Lips:

Code 002 keeps her lips subtle and natural. A nude or pinkish lip color will work perfectly to complete the look.

5.

Hair:

Although we're focusing on makeup here, it's worth mentioning that her iconic pink hair adds a lot to her overall appearance. If you have pink hair or a wig, that's a bonus!

6.

Accessories:

Code 002 often wears a headband with a pair of small, white horns. You might want to consider adding these accessories to complete the cosplay.

Remember, the devil is in the details, so take your time with the makeup application and enjoy the transformation. With the right makeup kit and techniques, you'll be the spitting image of Code 002 and turn heads at any cosplay event!

How to Apply

1.

Foundation and Concealer:

- Start with a clean and moisturized face.

- Apply your chosen foundation evenly using a makeup sponge or brush. Begin in the center of your face and blend outward, ensuring a natural and even coverage.

- Pay special attention to areas that may need more coverage, like blemishes or uneven skin tone.

- Next, use your concealer to cover any imperfections. Dab a small amount onto blemishes, redness, and under-eye circles.

- Blend the concealer gently with your fingertip or a makeup sponge until it seamlessly disappears into your skin.

2.

Setting Powder:

- To set your makeup and prevent shine, lightly dust translucent setting powder over your entire face. Focus on your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) where oil tends to accumulate.

- Use a fluffy powder brush for a soft and even application. This step will help your makeup stay put throughout the day.

3.

Eyeshadow:

- Code 002's eyes are the centerpiece of her look. Start by applying the deep red eyeshadow all over your eyelids as a base.

- Using a smaller eyeshadow brush, blend the pink shade into the crease of your eyelids. This will add depth and dimension to your eyes.

- Apply the mauve shade to the outer corners of your eyes and blend it softly into the pink for a seamless transition.

- Make sure to blend well to avoid harsh lines and create that smoldering, mysterious look.

4.

Eyeliner:

- Code 002 rocks a bold winged eyeliner look that gives her eyes a fierce edge.

- Use a high-quality black eyeliner pencil or gel liner. Start by drawing a line along your upper lash line, as close to the lashes as possible.

- Extend the line slightly beyond the outer corner of your eye to create the wing.

- If you're new to winged eyeliner, you can use a piece of tape as a guide to achieve a clean and sharp wing.

5.

Mascara and Lashes (Optional):

- Apply a volumizing mascara to your upper and lower lashes. Use a lash curler beforehand if you want to achieve that extra fluttery effect.

- If you decide to go for false lashes, apply them carefully using lash glue. Opt for lashes that are long and dramatic to capture Code 002's look.

- Allow the glue to dry completely before moving on.

6.

Lips:

- Finish the look with subtle lips. Choose a nude or pinkish lip color that complements your skin tone.

- Outline your lips with a lip liner for precision, then fill them in with your chosen lip color.

7.

Final Touches:

- If you have accessories like the headband with horns, make sure to wear them to complete the look.

- Check your makeup in different lighting to ensure everything looks flawless and symmetrical.

With these steps, you'll be well on your way to becoming Code 002 from Zero Two. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be discouraged if it takes a few tries to get everything just right. And most importantly, have fun embodying this iconic character at your cosplay event!
