A red-blue sweatsuit plus web mask for the hero; the partner gets the black jacket and attitude. About twenty-five minutes, easy: a red and blue sweatsuit, a black jacket and pants, and black face paint or an eye mask. The partner should look unimpressed in every photo; that's the dynamic.

Common questions

Will the white paint ruin the red shirt?

Yes, face paint stains fabric. If you want the shirt wearable after, use white stickers or thin tape strips in a web pattern instead of paint.

What is safer around the eyes, paint or a mask?

A black eye mask avoids paint near the eyes entirely. If you paint, keep all paint above the cheekbones and below the brow, never on the lids.
