@mulan_mtz created this cute homage to the Mario games with Mario front and centre! This Super Mario makeup features a chest paint of Mario’s face surrounded by iconic power-ups including a mushroom, ‘?’ box, and a coin. The little nod to rainbow road with the rainbow streak across Mulan’s face and rainbow coloured contact lenses is the perfect finish to this Mario makeup.

@caykeface has taken on Mario’s biggest nemesis, Bowser. In this Bowser face paint, @caykeface has created her own SFX mask of Bowser and included his iconic spiked shoulder shells and bands. The yellow chest paint and Red Voldemort Coloured Contact Lenses complete her impressive Bowser transformation.

It’s Princess Peach by @caykeface. This adorable Princess Peach costume features a golden blonde wig, painted on pink dress, and of course her iconic crown. To give Princess Peach her ultra blue eyes, @caykeface has opted for the Blue Super Sky Lenses. To copy her Princess Peach makeup, you will need exaggerated eyelashes and lips as well as high eyebrows and defined cheeks. This is such a fun idea for a fancy dress party and the body paint can easily be swapped for a pink dress.

@rainbowskinz has reimagined Mario in this hilarious buff Mario face paint and body paint. This is an awesome concept for a fancy dress party and is a great way to practice your body paint skills. For this look, @rainbowskinz has chosen the Sapphire Blue Coloured Contacts. For any of these cosplays, a pair of natural lenses can be used to match the eye colour of your character.

Luigi has been working out too in this second look from @rainbowskinz’s Super Mario series. This Luigi face paint features his iconic moustache but with a chiselled jaw. Make sure to stock up on green and blue body paint for your Luigi makeup. For this cosplay, @rainbowskinz has opted for the Aqua Blue Ice Walker Coloured Contacts. This bold blue is a different approach compared to the Sapphire Blue Coloured Contacts he used for the Mario cosplay. Both look amazing so it is down to personal preference for the style you are aiming for.

These Super Mario Costume ideas are just the start of your group cosplay. With so many more characters to add to your party, Super Mario is a great theme to choose whether you are dressing up to see a Mario movie, having a games night or going to a party. Many of the characters can be cosplayed with clothes you already own, making this a cheap and easy way to enjoy fancy dress.
