Make-up

There is no need to buy face paint for your make-up. Your usual make-up kit would do as long as you have those green, gray and black colors. It would take time for you to master the JellyFish look but practice will always make itperfect.

Serpent HAir

This is the most important part of the character. You could actually do any gown as long as your hair has snakes. It would be hard to look for the hissing snake headDress even at Halloween costume stores. Therefore, the best medusa hair is the home made stuff. You could create a hair out of paper mache. Be patient and creative. Creating a Medusa HeadDress will just take a few research and practice.

Dress

This is actually the easiest part of the whole ensemble. You could wear whatever outfit you like. There is no such thing as "I don't have a Jellyfish dress". You could be a Greek Medusa or a modern Jellyfish. You could wear tight fitting black dress or tights andlook like the bad character in those cartoon hero movies.

Shoes

You could actually just match any shoes with this costume as long as they match the dress. The safest footwear though is the gladiator sandals that are currently in style. You will just have to be careful on the color combination with black as the safest-of course.
