Aquamarine from Steven Universe
Aquamarine is an antagonist in the Cartoon Network show, Steven Universe. We first see her trick Connie and easily defeat Steven using her hair bow, which doubles as a wand. She was sent to Earth by the diamonds to collect more humans for their zoos. Like Lapis Lazuli, she has wings and harnesses the power of flight. Her petite and innocent appearance allows her to deceive humans, asking “are you my dad?” She then calls upon a Topaz fusion to absorb them and take them away. Use Spirit Gum to apply the gemstone onto your face. You can also draw it on with more face paint, mixing the aqua and white to get the right color.
Caitlin Cooke from 6teen
Caitlin Cooke is a main character in the Cartoon Network show, 6teen. She loves shopping and boys. If she’s crying (and mascara streaks down her face), it’s probably over a breakup. In the beginning, Caitlin is naive and spoiled. However, she matures as the show progresses, such as developing a work ethic at the Main Squeeze. Although she can come off as self centered, she has proven time and time again that she can be a good friend. In fact, she is the most optimistic and caring out of the friend circle.
Jordan Belfort from The Wolf of Wall Street
Jordan Belfort is the main character in The Wolf of Wall Street, a black comedy crime film based on the memoir of the real Jordan Belfort. Belfort was a stockbroker on Wall Street, who rose the rankings to become the head of his brokerage house firm. However, he leads his firm down a path of corruption and fraud which leads to his own downfall. Oscar winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio plays Belfort. We give you two outfits: his work outfit and his yacht outfit. We included the Ralph Lauren Polo for accuracy, but it can be pricey, so any white polo will do.
Wario from WarioWare
Wario is the main antagonist to Mario and the star of his own spin-off games called WarioWare. These games involve microgames that the player must complete in order to preserve their lives. Additionally these games often have a theme associated with the title and characters. Use a piece of red duct tape down the middle of the helmet. For added detail, you can paint a ‘W’ with light blue paint. If you want to go extra mile, you can paint the nose pink and even get a cleft chin prosthetic.

Shota Aizawa, also known as Eraser Head, is a character from the hit anime, My Hero Academia. He is the homeroom teacher for Class 1-A. His Quirk is called Erasure, in which he can erase the Quirk of his opponent by simply looking at them. Other strengths include hand to hand combat, as well as astute observation and intellect. Quiet and stern, Aizawa is known to set a high bar for his students. This makes him come off as cold and apathetic, especially when he is brutally honest with his thoughts and feelings. For this costume, you can use a stippling sponge or black eyeliner around your mouth to add his stubble.

Attach the the pipe cleaner onto the wig and bend it to make Romano’s upwards curl.
