Carbon Costume

Betty Rubble stole the hearts of millions when she hit the air with the 1960 premier of The Flintstones. Her husband Barney and son Bamm-Bamm keep her busy most of the time. But when she gets a minute to herself you can probably find her with her best friend Wilma Flintstone.

Betty’s look is pretty iconic. Her dress is easily found as a ready-made costume that usually comes with a blue bow, though some dress tape might be handy for keeping the dress in the right spot. Once you have her dress all you’ll need is a black wig and a gorgeous plum lipstick to finish off her look.

If you plan on wearing the costume out, shoe can get tricky. Many people opt for black pumps given Betty is a bit of a prehistoric pinup. But there are other options such as skin-tone flats or “invisible shoes” like those in this tutorial.

Kyoshi is a character in the Nickelodeon series Avatar: The Last Airbender. She was a previous Avatar who came from the Earth kingdom. She created an era of peace by vanquishing Chin the Conquerer. According to legend, she was a ruthless, fearsome warrior — who also had rather long feet! Her legacy carries on with the Dai Li, as well as the Kyoshi warriors, an all-female group who fight and defend in her honor. When applying the makeup, you can use this image of Kyoshi for reference. Use the white face paint as the base, the red face paint for the eyes, and black eyeliner for the wings and brows.

Kushina Uzumaki (voiced by Emi Shinohara and Laura Bailey) was a jonin of Konohagakure, though she originally hailed from Uzushiogakure.  Kushina became a jinchuriki for the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox before the tailed beast was eventually sealed within the body of her son Naruto at the time of his birth.  Kushina was known for her hot-blooded temper, often intimidating even her husband Minato, the Fourth Hokage.  When not wearing her jonin uniform, Kushina wore a long green dress over a white shirt with grey shinobi sandals.

Ultraman crashed onto the scene in the 1960s and soon became a giant in every right. His long run of success has landed him on Netflix where a whole new audience is growing to love Ultraman and his current voice actor, Kaiji Soze.

The hardest part of Ultraman’s costume is getting the jumpsuit right. You can also start out with a silver body suit and add in the red details using fabric paint. Once it’s dry you can use a hot glue gun to attach shoe soles to the bottom of your suit. These will make it much safer (and healthier) to walk around cons in your costume. Finish the look off with his helmet and you’re ready to go!

By day Linda Flynn-Fletcher is a busy housewife in suburban Danville. By night she is… still a busy housewife since her days of wild adventure were back in the ’80s as pop sensation Lindana. Of course she still has plenty to keep her busy between neighborhood clubs, her classes, and of course Candace calling her a few times every afternoon trying to bust Phineas and Ferb!

It’s hard to match Linda’s energy levels but you can match her look pretty easily. A red wig and a pink hairband start off the look. Her casually comfortable style needs only a white short sleeve button down, a yellow sweater vest, and a green pair of capris. Yellow sneakers with cuffed white socks make it easy to stay on the go while red lipstick and teal ball earrings add the final touches.

Rize Kamishiro (voiced by Kana Hanazawa and Monica Rial) was a ghoul whose kakuhou was transplanted into Ken Kaneki, the main protagonist of the anime and manga Tokyo Ghoul.  Rize’s costume consists of a white dress layered over a blue shirt, long purple hair, and red half-rimmed glasses.

Adriano Zumbo found his passion early and has been chasing it ever since. His show is a unique gem in Netflix’s cooking show lineup, Zumbo’s Just Desserts for a man who has dedicated his life to his craft. And when you consider that the man has Willy Wonka tattooed on his arm, it’s easy to see where he got his inspiration from!

Zumbo’s usual look is easy to pull off. Kitchen shoes, black slacks, a white t-shirt, a chef’s jacket, a black middle finger ring, and a wrist cuff. It’s a very straight-forward look. Zumbo sets them apart with his signature bald look and his Willy Wonka tattoo which you can copy using the printable temporary tattoo paper listed above. If you’re feeling like an accessory, add a box of macarons. He is knows as the Macaron King after all!

Pete (played by Dougie Baldwin – and no, he isn’t one of the Baldwins) is the in-house grower at Ruth’s Alternative Caring, the dispensary at the heart of the show Disjointed. He’s a a kind-hearted and unassuming guy but that doesn’t mean he stays out of trouble. Between fathering his talking plants, dating the personification of marijuana, and trying to keep an AI from taking over the world he has a lot more on his plate than the pH balance of his soil!

Pete is down to earth in more than just his personality. He likes wearing neutral and earth tones. This means a tan shirt and a knit pullover with a pair of jeans suited for gardening in. A shaggy wig and a pair of sandals rounds out his look.
