And of course, it does in fact matter to know what makeup does to your face in shape and whatnot. If someone had the knowledge and skill, all it could take for a Caucasian to achieve this style is a different approach than the Asian one. Add something here, take away something there...

Besides, not all Caucasians have the same eyelids, and neither do all Asian's. Like I said....it may still be my opinion, but I highly doubt it's the race that makes it look good.
And you missed my point. I'm not saying that the photos I posted are what the artists can create themselves. I'm just pointing out that this is the typical VK look that many cosplayers try to achieve.
And I'm no pro, but I can do it better than many- and I was simply sayin' that I don't think people should ''just'' go for it, if they have no clue what they're doing and then flash is about in public. They WILL get criticized. Practice makes perfect - but it doesn't look better out and about than it does in front of your mirror.

Don't be a picky now. You know I'm referring to the standard Asian eyelid vs. the standard Caucasian eyelid.

I'm not all against Caucasians cosplaying nor dressing up as Ruki from The GazettE - as long as they can do it RIGHT.
