Mhysa Cosplay | Rurouni Kenshin Wig & Makeup Tutorial

Ever wondered how to become the wandering samurai of your 90s anime dreams? In this video, I’ll show you how I styled my wig and do my makeup for my Himura Kenshin cosplay from Rurouni Kenshin, including how to get a very realistic scar effect for his iconic X scar.

This tutorial is made possible by a generous material donation from Mehron Makeup.

I am a semi-professional and competitive cosplayer from the Northeastern U.S. I'm a professionally trained seamstress and pattern drafter, with a borderline obsessive love of makeup. I'm also pale AF, so I talk a lot about makeup products and techniques that work well if you are likewise super pale skinned.
