amaranthuscaudatus:

immortalspark answered your question:Trekkie cosplayers and well anyone with an opinion…

I think Ulani’s eyes may have been brown? Also I have never had someone comment on my eye color at cons and I always play very blue eyed characters…but my eyes could not be more brown if they tried.

I did one a cosplay a few years ago and bought heinously expensive hand-painted contacts from 9mmSFX… and had people point out they weren’t movie accurate -because they couldn’t be – it would be infringement to make an exact replica w/o licensing.

People will always find something to complain about if they are dead-set on complaining. But your cosplay isn’t for them, it’s for yourself and the majority of people that recognize your character, who will be absolutely delighted that you even attempted it.

I can’t wear colored lenses according to my eye doctor so I am medically stuck with brown eyes, I’m not compromising my vision to make a couple haters happy! There’s always photoshop for end-result pictures if I really want to go that route 🙂

Best of luck to you!
