Dark Skin Elf Ear advice
Most recommended this website, where you can get your prosthetics in 4 different skin tones:
www.aradani.com/
"Aradani will also paint the ears to look like your particular skin tone if you catch them at a convention and buy ears from them there. :) They're very good at providing different shades."
- Catie
"I basically got a make up sponge and some Ben nye make up and painted. that was, probably almost 10 years ago. they still look pretty decent. I just need new ones now because, I'm a dumbass and I didnt clean the prosaid off of them last time i wore them, so now they're stuck together"
- Diana
"I bought my ears online I think and then a friend who is a makeup expert painted them for me in my skintone. It took sometime but it was worth it. She used Kryolan colors if I remember correctly."
- Anna
"I buy Werewolf ears, they all slope backward rather than forwards though. They are a little darker than me, but way closer than the defualt White/Pink that is the only color I have ever been able to find in Elf ears. It was a sad experience when I realized the only ears I could find in my skin tone were the animal/monster ones."
- Adam
"Swedish edularp company Lajvverkstaden made the same observation years ago and manufactured elf ears in a multitude of skin tones. If your locally available manufacturer doesn't provide maybe they're open to it if asked? "
- Johannes
"would totally look into highlight tutorials.
Becca shimmering skin perfector (liquid) gives amazing dewy-glowy-looking skin, perfect for an elf (their range isn’t great, but have seen the colour topaz work wonders on dark skin). Top it with a bit of powder-highlighter on the cheekbones and nose for full on shine."
- Liv
" I hate prosthetic ears. I hate them because they are generally uncomfortable and they always stick in my hair and look extra fake to me. They take fucking forever to paint up to my exact skin tone as well....So I started creating elaborate wire ear covers that had the illusion of pointed ears. They are a life saver. I can just pop them on and it really looks like my ears are pointed and I get cute jewelry as well. "

Mo Mo: “I’m not talented”
*makes her own cloaks, flower crowns, and makeup*
Me: *Fails at finding her own socks, get stung with roses, and used markers once for makeup*
so true
Same! She NEVER gives herself Enoch credit
the fact that you paused for the elf ears and gave options and linked to help for elves of colours really made me smile. you're a wonderful person, momo. keep up :3
The Anxious Elefant and the first elf picture was actually Allura from Voltron
Even as someone who doesn't LARP, I know how hard it must be finding ears (or any prosthetic) in more than one shade. It's kind of a piss-take at this point.
The base colors aren't even a race, they're someone with jaundice. They match noone
Legit! I was looking for things for my darker tone and got tired of it and came here to refresh my love-
This lady is wonderful and I can’t wait to check it out 💛
@@SharkWrestler the yellow colour is just the regular colour of the foam latex, they're meant to be painted to match the wearer's skin tone regardless.
Depending on the species the deer might nt have died at all. Most species shed their antlers once a year. So antlers are usually 100% ethical.
Deer shed antlers once a year, antelopes have horns and don't shed them at all.
facts
Don't worry about the antlers, all deer shed their antlers every year without hurting them. You can use them without any guilt.
yay
yay
Woohoo
I probably can’t afford them, so imma go look under my tree for good sticks so I can pretend 😂
Yep!
When momo drops a video you drop everything you’re doing.
Sparkle Wink yep
Veay ture
True
'A badass viking who probably stabbed her cheating ex with a deer antler in the name of Loki.'
What a mood.
Mmblergh! It’s me! *stabs ex*
I am in love with this look, it's so magical!! It kind of wants to make me try and make a cloak....but I am honestly the worst at sewing haha!
I believe in you!!
Kelsey Ellison I’m a fan of you!!
😍😍🥰🥰🤩🤩When my favorite UA-camr comments on another amazing you tubers page!
Same and loads of the videos make no sense at all 😂
I love UA-camrs who recommended people who actually know what they're doing instead of giving sub par information
I feel like I'm being so pedantic, but what you did isn't stay stitching. Topstitching is what you did. A staystitch stops the fabric stretching out when you're making things (usually done at a neckline or waist) as when cut on the bias some areas stretch out and distort themselves.
Honestly, from someone who has sewn for 15yrs, you did it in the same order I would have done and you did it brilliantly!
oh womp womp! Thank you for correcting me!
Well, lucky for you, I am talentless and broke.

I loved the self-deprecating jokes because I relate
my new year book quote
This quote is...painfully relatable
I can relate100%
Honey! Don’t hate yourself!!! You’re beautiful without make up and beautiful when you’ve made up. Your videos are wonderful, and your adventures are delightful! Be happy with your gifts and talents. You’re very You and that’s what is so great!
Wonderful!!! Thank you for your videos. Side note - deer (& others) shed or naturally lose their horns / antlers each year after breeding season. Walking in the woods you can find these treasures. No guilt required.
Mo Mo, how do you get the cat out from the inside of your cloak 9:04? Or is that where the warmth comes from?
It’s where the warmth comes from (optional) sew a pocket in the back of the cloak to hold the heating device. Otherwise, you seek professional help to remove of the cat.
Cats just get places. Right now my cat is in my kitchen sink, i cant get her out
Buff Natsuki if your cat is still in there call the plumber
@@buffnatsuki7204 i mean if she wont leave might as well give her dish soap and sponges so she can wash the dishes.
Buff Natsuki Is she still there?
when making flower crowns u can also wrap the wire in florist tape to hide the wire and add some more green to it
Ajax Infinity oh good idea !
I'm so excited to make a cloak now! It doesn't look hard at all 😁
Literally inspired me to dress up for Easter tomorrow with my new Merida lace front
You are the reason I started larping and I was subbed to this channel when you made the basics video for larp
The flower crown instructions were so helpful thank you!
dude, I've actually been looking up so much on makign cloaks the past couple weeks because I'm trying to make one for me and one for my friend before we go to Scarborough soon! And thef act that you, who I look up to so much and love, had it as a part of this vid just makes my day even more.
Hey momo! I know you might not see this but so many of your videos have helped me know who I want to be and who I am, and I've decided to do something to give back to you. I know you may never see them but for now on I will always comment. Not alot, just something to remind you how amazing you are!!! Your comment today is telling you how much of an amazing inspiration to us all you are!!!!!! Keep going momo!!!!! ♥️
I'm so excited you're getting to go to several LARPs this year (and getting to have fun at them, not just workworkworkworkwork). YAY! Also, with the sewing: it'll be easier if you cut the curved seams *after* you sew the two layers together (and also reduce risk of cutting through the seam allowance)- aside from that, as a novice sewer you have an excellent grasp of sewing techniques and whys. YAY!
Mimi momo cloak was a huge help. 10/10
I love the cloak and flower crown!! I'm definitely going to make them, though I'll probably put less stuff on my crown, I also might try the beaded elf crown that she mentioned.
It really makes me so happy that you want to get back into LARPing for fun ♥
Hey mo mo, as a new fan of yours I would like to say hellooooo
Would you be willing to do another cloak tutorial, more in depth and with more measurements?
That would be amazing! I have only ever sewed a couple of times and am actually better at hand sewing than machine, so it would be awesome to see you demonstrating exactly how you make your cloaks. (I can never find ones that fit me right 🙄)
A really easy way to make cloaks that I personally used a lot (I had one week to make a full costume basically) is to just take a big square and gather it to the width that you want it to be on your shoulders, and the hood can basically be two rectangles if you want a pointy one or you round them off. There's a pretty decent tutorial of it on UA-cam, they use fixed measurements though
Love you Momo ❤️ the notches help with a couple things. On patterns, notches are sometimes used to keep track of where pieces will be sewn together. Along curves, notches help cut down on bulk so fabric lays flatter. Also, what you called stay stitching is actually top stitching.
You're so amazingly beautiful and creative Momo, your videos give me this...warm and comfortable feeling. I don't usually comment but I've been creeping around your channel for a while now and everytime I'm blown away by your personality, creativity and love you have for larping 🖤
I used this video-specifically the Flower Crown portion-to make a flower crown, flower bracelet, and flower arm piece for a Butterfly Fairy costume I made for Halloween after this came out. Stumbled upon it and it reminded me of my first attempt at making my own costume instead of buying one. So, thank you. Many a costume has been made thanks to this.
Dont hate yourself. Your awesome. I like your realness
Ahhhh I needed this so much!! I moved away from home and tonight is my first night living on my own, so having a Momo video just made my night so much better :) thank you for creating amazing videos that always brighten my day!!
This look is so fetching! You look great with black hair.
I love this look so much! I sew, I'm not that good, but this video makes me want to make a cloak! You're amazing Momo!
Yaaaay! The only things that are keeping me sane while I wait for my first larp in May are yours and Cheyenne's videos, and creating my costume. I loved seeing how you make your beautiful flower crowns!
When you used the song FeHu for the Viking I got so excited I nearly fell off my chair cause’ I love that song
Saaame, the Wardruna soundtracks are so lovely and catchy!
I know right?
Add a thin layer of red to any pre-colored prosthetics before you put makeup on them, to simulate blood under the skin. It makes it look more realistic. (I am not a makeup artist, I just love Mykie's videos and have watched many FX artists including Face Off)
MOMO HOW DARE YOU CALL MOMO TALENTLESS. YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND AMAZING AND WONDERFUL. You're Glorious & Gorgeous! You not only made a beautiful cloak, but also a FABULOUS dress, AND A FLIPPIN' LYRE/HARP/INSTRUMENT!
This was a positively Lovely video! I enjoyed it very much, and am inspired! I cannot wait to see more about all of your adventures, from Chronicles, and all future endeavors! I do hope we'll get some cool tidbits from Post Mortem at least, I'm quite intrigued!
When yo fav UA-camr puts a vid out well i'm re-watching the entire channel
I swear,Your videos are my link to happiness (i have watched these vids for the 1000th time now)
The cat just chilling in the cloak :') Baby get out there! haha
"lucky for you I am talent-less and broke" never related more to a sentence in my life.
There and Back Again is actually the perfect name for a Larp tour, though! Also I love that flowy-sleeved pink dress, it's so pretty and fantastical!! :)
Omg Momo, you are just the purest little bean. Hope you have a great time at Post Mortem, you deserve it
I’m going to be sewing a cloak, but the event i’m going to is in Arizona... so maybe not a warm and snuggly fabric lol!
I was searching this for outfits, then screached when i realized it was momo
(shh i came from tiktok because im boring but i literally love ur looks)
“Like a badass Viking who probably stabbed her ex with a deer antler in the name of Loki”
I just wanted to say that ever since finding your channel I feel like I have new energy. You make me want to go out and experience a better life. I can't thank you enough, Mo mo.
I really like that this video is a mash up tutorial of everything you'll need! I thought it was super helpful and really inspires me to design all these different characters. I love it.
1.1K likes and 0 dislikes. Mo Mo we love you and it shows.
Hey! I just wanted to let you know (white tail and mule) deer actually shed their horns seasonally, so while the deer who's horns those were may have been dead (who knows) he mostly likely just lost them in the natural process of shedding. Some people actually hunt for sheds in the woods and collect them :D
Going as a faery to my closest ren fair, (the Texas Renaissance Festival!) This was super helpfull, as are most of your videos! I have subscribed! :)
HONEY OH MY GAH
Larp House wheres that picture of will smith with his arms wide open showing everyone his wife
That’s what I’m tryna be
Yay new video! Thanks for your beautiful online presence and vids Mo; you uplift me during rough times
OH MY
I just got really into your channel two days ago and you just uploaded half an hour ago, not to mention its a great vid. I love you girl.
For contacts, make sure you know what curvature you need. Eyeballs come in many different shapes, buying a pair that doesn't fit you can cause air to get caught underneath leading to general discomfort and... eye infections or other potentially blinding issues :D speaking from experience. Don't just walk in and buy them like I did :( Also even on the same person, the two eyes can be different.
Hot tip, use derma-wax to make a neat transition from latex-ear to skin instead of liquid latex since you can get like chemical burns by applying it directly to the skin, I'm pretty sure. If you really want to use latex, (i get you) - make sure it is cosmetic latex, yes there's a difference.
You can get special scissors for the triangle bit and it’s so that the seam doesn’t get bulky when you turn it and so it lays flatter once turned
AAAAAHHHH BICOLLINE!!!!
You worked so hard on this! Im so proud of you! 💜
Larp Girl I am proud of everything you do always ❤️
I find that it's easier to put them in leaning forward, dipping your chin down to your chest (preferably you want to be in front of a mirror), contact on your index or middle and the finger after pulling your lower lid down, your other hand will be pulling your upper lid up and you will want to put them on while looking ahead. I tried the leaning back method and could never get them in.
As always love the content MoMo
I love how you make a tiny model of the cape to make it easier to ya watchers to understand.
Great how to :D
Feels like a I got a 2 for 1 deal lol
Keep the videos coming.
Beautiful video and it’s super clear how hard you’ve worked on this!! Can’t wait for your next every day adventure and as a UK gal it’s awesome to hear that you’re coming here!! 💞💞💞
All hail the return of based momo
Love you MoMo u r living my dream can't wait till I can larp but there are not a lot near me
Thanks so much for the tutorial video! I really wanna learn to make my own costumes for a Larp or any Cosplay event.
I would recomend buying elf ears from MadhouseFXstudio on Etsy. They're cheaper and better quality than Aradani, and their silicone styles even come in darker shades. I own 3 different styles of ears from them, and I love them (thinking of buying two new)
Honestly, what an angel
I'm so glad that you're going to Bicolline! I was inspired by you to sign up for this year. And I thought it would be super cool to actually see you there!
Wow so many tutorials in one video! Kudos!
Talentless and broke, ME!!!! 😂😂
Also I’ve missed your videos so much! I was so happy when I got the notification!
you're so adorable mo mo. this video ligit made my day
This video is so going to be useful for me and my two best friends costumes
Great Video. Was going to say: don't forget to enjoy the experience. But you already thought of this yourself by the decision to not bring a camera to one of your larps. So don't regret that decision and have fun.
This is the most relaxing video ever
Momo you are a fantasy character. Cuz you are too pretty to be a human♥️
So glad my middle school allows Halloween costumes 8th grade me will be happy in life... finally!
Always interesting and lovely. Please video all of your LARPing, and upload them. I love living vicariously thru your adventures.
Love it! I adore the video's you make so much and love all things fae
I always put my costuming on back burner cos I'm broke-thanks for inspiring me to do what I can with what's available💞👏 Love MO MO
Have fun Momo!
This is so detailed ! Really did your research
I absolutely love the look of cloaks.
Only problem is, i live somewhere that almost never gets cold enough to warrant the use of one.
U are the only larp channel so far that i like
I love cloaks they’re my favorite
I made a flower crown the exact same way for a costume a few months ago, except instead of wire i used a "fall" wreath, which was really just some dried twigs in a circle.
I clicked so fast the sound barrier broke. Your video was lovely, momo. Also- how do you do capes that good without a pattern?? Like omg I aspire to have that skill!
Okay, while I think being a cosplayer or whatever it's called is wicked cool, and would be TONS of fun, I am definitely not that. BUT! I HAVE HALOWEEN!! This costume would be literally perfect because I have time to make the cloak, am able to style the outfit my own way, it can show my more fun, feminine side, and the cloak will keep me warm and dry while we trudge around in October weather! Mo Mo thank you so much, I am going to have a wonderful time with this.
Also! You made me want a Scott Pilgrim Larp by using that music :P
Momo, you are so beautiful, and the besttt ❤️❤️
OMG I’m so happy I got this in my recommended!! Your voice is so pretty and you’re so charismatic and this looks so fun to do!! I might try it if my mom allows me to :D
Oooh, pretty!
omg I'm so excited to hear about Marked---I hope something like that pops up in the US soon!
This is awesome! Shoutout to the Bone Store, I literally bought a whole cat tail bone from them yesterday!
Aradani is based local to me and I know people that make ears there and I can confirm that they're absolutely fantastic and also a great company!
Hi! Mo Mo O' Brien. How are you? I love Cloak tutorial with hood , cape. I not to far away from Toronto. Thank you so much for tips ideals for costumes, make-ups, wigs.
I get so happy every time you post!!! 💓💖💘💙
I’ve never bought from them, but PinkyParadise seems really good!
I’m so glad UA-cam actually worked and sent me the notif for this
You are so great and so wonderful❤❤❤ I love you so much❤❤❤ Thanks for making this tutorials❤❤❤
The intro had me sold
