The look

Top
Orange top
Headwear
Cat ears headband, ideally in orange
Makeup
Optional fox nose and whiskers
Hair
Any hair, styled with the ears sitting on top

Makeup

  1. Paint the tip of the nose black with a small round dab.
  2. Draw three thin whisker lines on each cheek with eyeliner or face paint.
  3. Add a small white patch on each cheek.

Hair: Style hair in a half ponytail or loose waves so the ears sit clearly on top of the head.

How to put it together

  1. Put on the orange top.
  2. Slide the ears headband over your hair and adjust so both ears sit upright.
  3. Add black pants and a white T-shirt underneath if you like.
  4. Finish with optional face paint, gloves and a scarf.

Two variations

  • Snow Fox

    Swap the orange top for a white one and add pale blue face paint dots.

  • Fox Cub

    Add a small stuffed orange tail made from a rolled scarf pinned at the back.

Safety note

Use skin-safe face paint with a patch test first. Make sure the ears headband is comfortable and does not slip over your eyes.
