How to put it together

1
Put on dark, comfortable base clothing like a black t-shirt and black pants.
2
Slip on the black floor-length hooded cloak, pulling the hood forward to shadow your face.
3
Secure the No-Face mask over your face, adjusting the strap so it sits comfortably and aligns with your eyes.
4
Put on the black gloves to ensure no skin is showing when you reach out.
5
Carry the fake gold coins or DIY bath tokens in your hands to offer them to passersby, mimicking No-Face's behavior.

Makeup & hair

No hair styling or makeup is required if you are wearing the full mask and hood. If you choose to paint your face instead of wearing a mask, apply white face paint over your entire face, then use purple face paint to draw triangles above and below your eyes, and black paint for the simple mouth and horizontal line eyes.

Spirited Away for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: Pair No-Face with Chihiro wearing a pink short-sleeved kimono top, red shorts, and white sneakers.
group: Add Haku in his white and blue tunic, and Yubaba with a large styled wig, blue dress, and oversized fake rings.
kids: A simple black fabric tunic and a lightweight plastic No-Face mask make this an easy, comfortable costume for children.
Plus size: The loose, draped nature of the No-Face cloak makes this look naturally accommodating and comfortable for all body types.
pet: A small black cape and a tiny felt No-Face mask secured gently around a pet's collar.

Tips

Ensure the mask has adequate eye holes or sheer mesh so you can navigate dark Halloween paths safely.
Wear comfortable black shoes, as they will occasionally peek out from under the bottom of the cloak.
Stay in character by offering gold coins silently with both hands extended.
If the cloak is too long, hem or trim the bottom to avoid tripping.
