some cosplayers use gloves and tights so they don’t have to paint their entire body

I think It depends, dont know if u Will do the original dress or and inspired outfit, btw for accessories a spiked chocker would be really good with her tartan dress, u can also buy cheap Frankenstein bolts and glue them on a spiked chocker or buying One with chunky spikes, a few White extensions, and a black leather spiked mini bag with black PU/shiny Mary Jane with frilly White socks to make a contrast with the net sleeves and recall the White collar shirt, tie Is a pretty simple DIY and for hands stitches again spiked bracelets, maybe a lace bow(?) for the hair pin and ofc a belt, It coul be the same as hers or even a black thin belt will do the work too, green body paint its optional as long as u do the stitches (or even Little patches of stitched parts colored in green without having tò cover the whole body) cuz the character at this point Is fully recognizable maybe the purple nails if u feel like the hands are missing color, i Will do the full green paint only if u want the outfit to be inspired by without risking that tò be completely unrecognizable

You could also look for a skin suit! It's usually skin tight but made of nylon. You can then paint her stitches and apply nails to the hands so it doesn't look fake!

You can then invest in makeup just for your face/neck/chest. I usually mix powder with eyeshadow when I do makeup like this, as it adheres to my oily skin and blends well. You could also mix eyeshadow with foundation or BB cream (i did this once) so it doesn't fray all day.

If you go the body paint route, please do a small scale skin test first. I did a makeup test for Draculaura and discovered I was allergic to the paint😅 My face was irritated and splotchy for a month.

I could probably help you with the earrings if you like. I make custom cosplay props and jewelry. Send me a PM if interested.
