Well really all this is a guide for my friends, but I guess I'll share it with everyone. This contains links, tips, and all that fun stuff for making a nice cosplay. (today I will only be focusing on Vriska, if you would like another, just ask)

I have helped a friend do this cosplay, so I know what to do about this. The mais complicated stuff will be listed first, also, keep in mind this is not god tier vriska.

Makeup: Really,all you need to do is buy blue lipstick, Ben Nye grey body and face make up, and blue eyeliner/eyelashes.

Shirt: If ya want a legit one, visit the sites listed on the mspa homepage.
If ya don’t, buy some iron on wax, a black t-shirt and use this template:

As for her other clothes, I would use clothes like these:

-Or just go to your favorito shopping outlet, and look for a long sleeve grey button up shirt, a long sleeve jacket, and blue jeans. For the glasses, just wear sunglasses and pop out one of the lenses.

-For the horns,you may buy them online. I know of some people who are currently selling horns at good prices. (I will list them below) But,of course you may make your own. If you do,I'd advise using:
-MM clay CRAYOLA BRAND (model magic)
-Acrylic paints (Dark orange,lighter orange[close to yellow], and yellow. If you are on a tight budget, get yellow and red, then mix them to your liking)
- Styrofoam
-gloss
