How do I make the ring glow?

The easiest way is to buy a toy ring with a built-in LED switch. For a DIY version, you can attach a green micro LED light to a plain green ring band using clear tape.

What shoes should I wear with the costume?

Wear flat, comfortable black sneakers or boots underneath green boot covers so you can walk comfortably all night.

Is the mask comfortable to wear?

Yes, foam or fabric domino masks are very lightweight. If the elastic band is too tight, you can cut it off and use skin-safe spirit gum to adhere the mask directly to your face.
