Children love to play dress up and wear costumes. Prosthetics and false eyelashes may seem over the top, but both are safe when used properly. Children can wear just about everything adults can…including false eyelashes. Just remember, children have delicate, undamaged skin. Let’s keep it that way for as long as we can. Foundation tips, false eyelashes, and more!

I saw this gem over at Topless Robot. One of the many talented Etsy crafters, artists, and seamstresses has made a Star Trek inspired corset based upon the Next Generation uniform. EveningArwen custom makes each corset to fit. You can choose any Star Trek color: command red, science blue, and operations yellow. Sites like Etsy can be a great place to find costume pieces. Just like all commission work, check references, feedback, and shipping and return practices for your seller.
