I want to cosplay as a trap in the coming Anime Expo. Anyone have tips in masking physical features and making myself look a bit shorter? Also, best material for fake boobs pls

Should be pretty easy, you already have great Asian features which naturally tend to be androgynous. I would look up tutorials on youtube.

Yeah neko has a point your facial features are very ambiguous. You ain't got much to worry about so tell us if you turn out to be a hideyoshi.

I was going to go as Hideyoshi actually! But I tried on the wig they had at the store and it looked a little weird
otaku2001
Hmm we'll that's a problem... If this was sooner I might've just said grow your hair out but that's out of he question. Well one good thing is my doctors are wrong I AM TELEPATHIC now I have an answer for all the voices in my head!

Best material? Are you making your own or buying fake ones online? If you're buying premade ones then I have a pair of silicone breasts, I hardly use them because they are a little too big for me but they feel convincing, act convincing and probably most importantly look convincing. However I appreiciate why you might not want to use them, being allergic to the silicone and it being a awkward thing to have around the house being the big two. As for make your own/makeshift; I know they're a few materials you can use such as foam, waterbaloons and if you're quite desperate tights and socks.

I dunno about that but there must be articles out there to help you; not sure how during a cosplay though. Here is one I found: http://www.enkivillage.com/how-to-get-shorter.html As for features, as the others said you are blessed with ambiguous features so a little bit of basic contouring here and there should work. I dunno if I've helped or not but I've tried; I'm very bad at explaining things.

Wow looks like someone is a professional trap in their spare time.

I had to drop the fake boobs idea. I was going to show like the upper part of my chest but it looks really really fake lol. I was going to get a wig in a high ponytail but I ended up looking like Kanda from D Gray Man so yeahhhhhhhhhh

@Otaku I'm Transgender. It's not spare time, it's full time, I do it out of necessity not as a hobby lol. @sunbae Ah, that's too bad; next time perhaps.
otaku2001
Hmm ain't nothing wrong with being transgender. I think it's sad though that I don't have to try to be a trap I'm already mistaken to be a girl in just my average day. I've been working towards looking more masculine so there is no more confusion.
