Put on the blue under-suit (compression shirt and leggings) as your base layer.

Put on the heavy silver or black boots and gloves, securing them over the cuffs of your under-suit.

Makeup & hair

Coat your face, neck, and ears in pale blue or icy white face paint. Use dark blue eyeshadow around the eyes for a sunken, frozen look, and wear bright red-tinted goggles or glasses over your eyes. If your hair is visible, spray it white or silver with temporary hair color.

Tips

Ensure your clear dome helmet has plenty of ventilation holes drilled into the back and sides to prevent fogging and ensure easy breathing.
Add battery-powered blue LED wire lights inside your chest armor or gun to make the costume pop in low-light settings.
Wear comfortable, moisture-wicking layers underneath, as the plastic dome and foam armor can trap body heat.
Practice holding your freeze gun in a menacing, calculated pose for photos.
