In makeup, a white powder and a red lipstick. In the costume, choose a white dress and sew three red pom poms in the center (which are also easy to make)!

Yellow raincoat and a red balloon. It is worth investing in a smudged black make-up for a more macabre touch.

Same raincoat, another costume. Dye your hair with blue spray and make fake sardines. Button eyes can compose a dark version.

Bet on a hat or bandana and a look with voluminous pieces. White, black, red, purple and gold are good bets. An eye patch is also good!

Dress or blouse with collar, neat hair with tiara and dark makeup. You can also bet on pieces and accessories with cats.
