How to put it together
- 1
Select your spice identity, such as Cinnamon, Paprika, Oregano, Parsley, or Garlic Powder.
- 2
Put on the solid black long-sleeve shirt and black leggings to create a clean, neutral background.
- 3
Slip the white or green tunic over your head.
- 4
Attach your printed or hand-drawn McCormick spice label to the center chest of the tunic using double-sided fabric tape or safety pins.
- 5
Place the red cylinder hat or beanie on your head to complete the bottle look.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup clean and natural. Pull your hair back into a neat ponytail or tuck it completely under the red cap so the bottle shape remains distinct.
