Lighten my skin with make up or go natural?
  Make up! You want to be accurate.
  Just go natural! It doesn't really matter that much if you have darker skin

Okay, so I'm working on cosplaying Rose from the game Legend of Dragoon. She's suppose to be very light skin. I believe in her bio she's actually described as having "snow white" skin. Well, I'm far from being "snow white". I am caucasion, but definitly very tan at all times of the year, and durring the summer (which is when the convention is), I tan to look almost hispanic without even trying. I'm not really sure what I should do. The costume doesn't show too much skin. It's only part of the legs and the face that shows, so I don't know if I should try to wear light make up on my face and a little down my neck and then wear a lighter color pantyhoes or if I should just go natural and deal with being dark skinned. I really want to do it as accurately as possible, but I don't want to look freakish in light colored make up either. Oppinions?

As a reference, you can find Rose's picture Right Here

i've seen the pic but Rose complexion is not that "snow white"
she just have a fair complexion . . .

why dont u try applying some liquid foundation on your body. . .
if there's no result or the result is bad . . . i think its the best way just go deal to your dark-skinned toned body . . .

i wont recommend to buy some skin tone spandex or somthing >_<

If it's way too far from your original skin color,
It would look very odd, mind you that.

As well, if the actual outfit is highly decent,
Most over-look that kind of thing.

It's anime.
No one is supposed to look like these people.

well, you can always use somethign on you to lighten the color of your skin, or stay inside for a few days in the dark or somethign to make the melinin smaller XD, well in the cases that if you want it to be darker like a antiform sora, which i have seen alot of good cosplays lol X3 you can always zentai it. you can also try your hand at lihgting your skin with zentai.
