Makeup & hair
If you have short black hair, use heavy-hold hair gel or wax to style it into messy, gravity-defying spikes at the top of your head. Alternatively, wear a spiky black cosplay wig. For makeup, keep it simple by painting a soft black circle on the tip of your nose if you aren't using a foam nose prop.
