How do I make my tiefling horns stay upright?

Mounting the horns on a wide, sturdy headband hidden beneath a wig is the most secure method. For heavy horns, add a clear elastic strap around the back of your head.

What is the best body paint for Critical Role cosplays?

Water-activated cake paints (like Mehron Paradise) are easy to apply evenly, while alcohol-activated paints offer the best water- and sweat-resistance for long convention days.

Can I buy official Critical Role costumes?

Yes, licensed costumes for characters like Jester Lavorre and Mollymauk Tealeaf are available seasonally at major Halloween retailers.

How to put it together

1
Apply a barrier spray to your face, neck, and hands to protect your skin before body paint.
2
Use a makeup sponge to apply lavender or blue body paint evenly, sealing it with translucent setting powder.
3
Put on your base garments, such as Jester's teal dress or Mollymauk's colorful trousers and undershirt.
4
Carefully position the tiefling horns headband on your head, blending the base into your hair or wig.
5
Attach the pointed prosthetic ears using spirit gum, blending the edges with matching body paint.
6
Layer on the signature outerwear, like Mollymauk's embroidered tapestry coat or Jester's hooded mantle.
7
Equip your character-specific props, such as Jester's giant lollipop or Mollymauk's dual scimitars.

Makeup & hair

For Jester, style a bright blue wig into two high pigtails with straight bangs, adding pink blush to the cheeks. For Mollymauk, style a messy, shoulder-length purple wig and apply metallic gold makeup accents around the eyes and forehead.

Tips

Use a high-quality setting spray like Ben Nye Final Seal to prevent your blue or purple body paint from rubbing off on your clothes.

Carry a touch-up kit containing extra body paint, a small brush, and setting powder for high-friction areas like your hands.
