Homestuck Cosplay Masterpost
A pastebin full of tutorials and advice, used as a reference guide for many things regarding Homestuck. Still very much in progress, could use more things for specific characters as well as more tutorials and links overall, but it will all be updated as the threads continue. Please feel free to suggest more things and also give more personal experiences.

General:
> The blog http://homestuckcosplayhelp.tumblr.com is no longer active and there are links that may be outdated, but it still has a lot of helpful info

Glasses:
> Akujin Corp: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Akujinscos
> Glasses for Dirk, the Libra Trolls, Vriska, Sollux, and much more, also has glasses for various anime characters
> Prices will go for at least $30.00, apparently their glasses aren't quite so stable

> Lightning and Lace:  http://lightningandlace.storenvy.com
> Glasses for Dirk, John/Jake, and Jade
> Dirk glasses are at least $25.00, the others are around $12.00
> May have to paint the screws on the Dirk glasses black, as otherwise they stick out

> Armsocks:
+ Easy to put on and off, no smudging, can look nice when made well, make once and reuse for many characters, warm for colder events
- Can get wrinkled or puckered in photos, initial timesink to make and fit, can get dirty and stained, will not work with some characters due to neckline

> PAX:
+ Waterproof, Smudgeproof, will not come off so easily, mixable to a perfect match with other makeup, lasts several days
- Expensive, hard to apply to yourself, hard to remove quickly or completely, can apparently cause cancer if you use a cheap enough acryllic to mix it with?

> Ben Nye:
+ Requires no additional makeup purchase, quick and easy to apply and remove, relatively inexpensive
- Hard to get completely seal, can still rub off even after sealed, has to be mixed for standard Troll grey, not cost effective for large amounts of bare skin

> May need more info about this, but is generally the cheapest of them all and probably not good for hotter or more humid events
