Avengers Cosplay
When the Avengers storyline reached an exciting climax on our cinema screens, there seemed to be more and more awesome superheroes added to the team. Here are a few Avengers cosplay ideas to help you and your squad create epic group cosplays.
Character: The Hulk
Lenses: Yellow Avatar Coloured Contact Lenses
Bruce Banner may be a complete softy but once he has turned into the Hulk there’s only one thing on his mind! @rainbowskinz has absolutely nailed the look of the animated Hulk with this ‘Hulk Smash’ expression. One thing is for sure; if you are creating this green giant you will need plenty of green body paint. Take inspiration from this detailed design by @rainbowskinz and add a pair of shorts and green or yellow lenses to complete your cosplay.
Character: Black Widow
Lenses: Air Optix Brilliant Blue Coloured Contacts Lenses
When it comes to badass Marvel cosplay girls Black Widow is definitely at the top of our list. This awesome character is totally independent and fierce. @snarkyjaycosplay has created an incredible cosplay with Natasha Romanoff’s iconic black suit and short red hair. For this look, you can wear a black suit and we can provide the Marvel cosplay props with a pair of coloured contact lenses to complete the cosplay.
Character: Captain America
Lenses: White Zombie and White Mesh Coloured Contact Lenses
@fancymay_makeup shows you Captain America as you have never seen him before. @fancymay_makeup created this look when Avengers Endgame was released but it looks like she predicted the future! If you haven’t already, check out Disney+ Marvel’s What If..? series to see the Marvel characters like never before. Marvel cosplays just got even more interesting and have opened up plenty of opportunities to introduce Halloween coloured contacts to your costumes!
Character: Scarlet Witch
Lenses: Red Mini Sclera Coloured Contact Lenses
Captain America isn’t the only one who has had a zombie makeover. Check out @artbybmazz as the Scarlet Witch Zombie. This terrifying cosplay shows just how powerful Wanda Maximoff is. The red eyes match perfectly with this Marvel girl cosplay and we love the photo editing to show off the Scarlet Witch’s magic.
Character: Thanos
Lenses: Aqua Blue Ice Walker Coloured Contact Lenses
The Marvel universe was completely shaken up by the arrival of Thanos. We had never seen such a powerful villain hit our screens. This much-anticipated character collected the Infinity Stones and added them to his gauntlet. In this look, @avada___kedavra has combined Thano’s purple skin with the Infinity stones to create this unusual Marvel female cosplay.
Character: Gamora
Lenses: Black Mesh Coloured Contact Lenses
Thanos put his adopted daughters in a tricky situation when he set his mind on creating a new world order. However, our favourite Gamora moments are in Guardians of the Galaxy. Zoe Saldana who played Gamora in the Marvel Cinematic Universe shared with fans the process of applying and removing her SFX makeup for the role. @sfx_by_bry has re-created Marvel cosplay women in this cool bodypaint. This is a fun character to cosplay but you will definitely need plenty of face paint to get it looking just right.
Character: Nebula
Lenses: Black Coloured Contact Lenses
Whether you love her or hate her, there’s one thing that most people agree on; Nebula is a cool looking character that is definitely fun to cosplay. To make your Marvel cosplay female it is time to practice with a bald cap and some body paint. @jassilallsfx has put her face painting skills to the test in this Nebula cosplay.
X Men Cosplay Ideas
Character: Mystique
Lenses: Yellow Avatar Coloured Contact Lenses
Mystique is usually depicted with piercing yellow eyes so a pair of coloured contact lenses are the perfect way to complete your Mystique cosplay. Blue face paint is essential for this look. To create an accurate Mystique look, paint on a mottled effect to the skin. This is one of the most popular Marvel cosplay ideas so you will find plenty of examples of our awesome affiliates creating this cosplay. Some makeup artists like to use prosthetics to create Mystique’s skin but in @fx_freak’s version, she has shown how you can use body paint to create this effect.
Character: Storm
Lenses: White Halloween Coloured Contact Lenses
Storm may not be in the limelight as much as other X Men mutants but rumour has it a Storm movie could be on the cards for Marvel. @makeupbycole has created a vibrant body paint of Storm. For this character, there are plenty of options when it comes to coloured contact lenses depending on which version you want to show. Storm is usually shown with blue eyes that can be cat-like but when she is using her powers her eyes turn white.
Character: Rogue
Lenses: Air Optix Sterling Grey Coloured Contact Lenses
Rogue has appeared in many different costumes in the cinematic universe but we love this original comic book cosplay by @snarkyjaycosplay. When you are cosplaying characters with natural eye colours it is always fun to try and match your eyes to the character. For this look, you can add a pair of grey natural contact lenses. If you would like help with the costume you can always find Marvel cosplay costumes for sale and add to the costume with props such as contact lenses.
Spiderman Cosplay Ideas
Character: Tobey Maguire Spiderman
Lenses: Aqua Blue Coloured Contact Lenses
Spiderman is the hero everyone has been talking about after Tom Holland’s portrayal rocketed Spiderman to the top of the movie charts. @rainbowskinz has painted three versions of Spiderman; Tobey Maguire, Tom Holland, and Andrew Garfield. Check out his page to see the differences between the three.
Character: Green Goblin
Lenses: White Halloween Coloured Contact Lenses
The blend of styles in @makeupbycole’s Green Goblin body paint is so cool! She takes the comic book art style and blends it with Willem Dafoe’s costume for the Green Goblin. Pair this Marvel costumes cosplay with white or yellow coloured contacts to get the Green Goblin’s spooky eyes.
Character: Venom
Lenses: White Blind Coloured Contact Lenses
No villain sends chills down our spine quite like Venom. This symbiote has appeared on our screens in many iterations so you can cosplay this character in a range of styles. @claudexcosplay has created the look of Venom merging with Spiderman to create this dark incomplete suit.
Character: MJ (Mary Jane Watson)
Lenses: Two Tone Green Coloured Contact Lenses
@hannah_in.wonderland makes a very sweet MJ complete with a red wig and Green Coloured Contact Lenses. MJ can be cosplayed in many different ways but we do love her original red hairstyle.
Niche Characters For Marvel Cosplay
Character: Doctor Voodoo
Lenses: White Blind Coloured Contact Lenses
The accuracy in this Doctor Voodoo cosplay by @claudexcosplay is incredible. Take a look at all the props and accessories he used to bring Brother Voodoo to life. The White Blind Contact Lenses are the perfect match for creating this magic doctor’s eyes.
Character: Gwenpool
Lenses: Air Optix Brilliant Blue Coloured Contact Lenses
Gwenpool is a character called Gwendolyn Poole and is a Gwen variant of Deadpool. This awesome concept comes from Marvel Comic Books. @snarkyjaycosplayer brings this character to life in her pink suit and blue contact lenses.
Character: Moon Knight
Lenses: White Blind Coloured Contact Lenses
Until the Disney+ series was released you may not have known of Moon Knight. We love all the characters Disney is bringing to our screens and Moon Knight is no exception. @rainbowskinz has done an incredible job painting this Marvel cosplay male character's outfit. We can’t believe this is all body paint! To complete the look, add a pair of White Blind Coloured Contact Lenses for a photoshoot. If you are heading to a Comic Con in this costume we would recommend trying a pair of White Halloween Contact Lenses so you can still have full vision.
