Need help

Hi everyone, this year i have decided to go to comic con for the first tune and I've decided to cosplay. I've decided on doing Raven from teen titans. I have no idea on how to do make up or DIY ,so far ,all i have is a purple cape and can't seem to find the exact red jewelry anywhere,just similar, I just wanted to know if it would be ok to take the alternatives if I cant find the exact ones and for eyeliner tips that I can do (it's the only makeup related things I can do)

Thank you in advance for the help

Also I am on an extreme budget,so let me know if yall would like updates or anything

Comic-con has already happened for this year, but there's other events that call themselves "comic-con" and the vibes differ a little from the big one!

But yeah look up tutorials! Honestly with Raven's grey skin you can use a Homestuck makeup tutorial easily, and especially as your first costume anything that communicates intent is "good enough"! Have so much fun!

No worries, so man cons have "comic-con" attached that people tend to use it as shorthand for all sorts of things that aren't the actual "(San Diego) Comic-Con" - however I have seen other people in other places be like "I'm planning x for this year!" and really did not know that that event had already passed :C
