How to put it together

- 3
Strap the western gun belt and holster low on your hips, securing it on your right side.

Drape the green patterned poncho over your shoulders, pulling the front right side up and tossing it over your left shoulder to reveal the vest and holster.

Place the dark brown cowboy hat low on your brow to cast a slight shadow over your eyes.
Makeup & hair
Keep hair messy, swept back, and slightly greasy. Apply a light brown bronzer or face paint to create a dusty, sun-baked look, and use a brown eyebrow pencil to draw on light stubble if you don't have real facial hair.
