How to put it together
- 1
Put on any base undergarments, tights, or specialized socks required for your specific character's outfit.
- 2
Step into the main outfit layers, typically starting with pants or skirts, followed by the shirt, vest, and outer coat or armor pieces.
- 3
Secure all intricate accessories, including belts, sashes, shoulder guards, and your elemental Vision prop using safety pins or built-in clips.
- 4
Put on a wig cap, tucking your natural hair flat, then secure your styled character wig with bobby pins.
- 5
Slip into the character boots, ensuring any boot covers or leg wraps are aligned and secured.
- 6
Apply anime-style makeup, focusing on clean eyeliner, false lashes, and any character-specific face markings.
- 7
Pose with your prop weapon to complete the look.
Makeup & hair
Apply a flawless, pale matte foundation base with soft pink or peach blush. Use liquid eyeliner to create a wide, anime-eye shape, and style your wig with heavy-hold hairspray to keep the gravity-defying spikes and bangs in place.

- Ensure your prop weapon is made of foam or lightweight wood to pass convention security checks.
- Style your wig's bangs slightly shorter than the character's to keep synthetic fibers out of your eyes during photos.
