3
Slip the furry shoe covers over your regular comfortable walking shoes, securing any elastic straps underneath.
4
Put on the Yeti headpiece or mask, adjusting it so the eyeholes align perfectly with your vision.

If using an open-face hood instead of a full mask, apply light blue face paint to your exposed face, adding dark blue shading around the eyes and nose. If using a full mask, no makeup or hair styling is required.

Tips

Faux fur suits trap heat quickly; wear moisture-wicking undergarments and take regular breaks to cool down.
Brush the faux fur with a wide-tooth comb before wearing to maximize the shaggy, voluminous look.
Ensure your footwear underneath the shoe covers has good traction if you plan to walk on slippery surfaces.
