How to put it together
- 1
Put on a basic neutral undershirt and pants to stay warm under the robe.
- 2
Slip on the oversized tan robe, securing it loosely so it drapes down past your knees.
- 3
Wrap the thick cream-colored cowl or scarf around your neck, tucking it into the top of the robe to create a wide, insulated collar.
- 4
Place the green pointed ears headband securely on your head.
- 5
Apply light green makeup to your face and neck if you want to match the skin tone of the ears.
- 6
Carry the silver sphere prop in your hand to complete the look.
Makeup & hair
Apply a light, even layer of pale green face paint, leaving the area around the eyes slightly lighter. If you have long hair, slick it back or pin it flat under the headband so the large green ears remain the main focus.
