How to put it together
- 1
Apply the bald cap carefully, securing the edges with spirit gum or liquid latex, and blend the edges into your skin.
- 2
Coat your entire face, neck, ears, and the bald cap in even layers of light blue face paint, allowing it to dry between coats.
- 3
Use a darker blue eyeshadow or face paint to contour your cheekbones and draw thin, expressive black eyebrows.
- 4
Put on the black bodysuit, then apply the silver lightning bolt designs to the chest area using fabric paint or silver tape.
- 5
Put on the long black gloves and pull them up over your forearms.
- 6
Drape the black cape over your shoulders, ensuring the high collar stands up straight behind your head.
- 7
Finish the look with black boots and a confident, theatrical supervillain smirk.
Makeup & hair
Apply a bald cap seamlessly, then paint your entire head, face, and neck with light blue body paint. Use dark blue and black makeup to contour a dramatic, high-foreheaded alien structure and draw thin, arched villainous eyebrows.
