With his jade-green eyes, calm demeanor, and the elegant white snake coiled around his shoulders, Baizhu is one of Genshin Impact’s most visually captivating characters. As the serene pharmacist of Liyue, his look blends traditional Chinese aesthetics with fantasy-inspired design, creating an appearance that feels both timeless and otherworldly.

Whether you’re crafting your next convention costume or preparing for a character photoshoot, this guide will help you capture Baizhu’s tranquil charm—from his flowing robes to his glowing gaze—complete with EyeCandys’ colored contacts and nail art for a flawless finishing touch.

Who Is Baizhu?

Baizhu is the wise and soft-spoken owner of Bubu Pharmacy and guardian of the zombie girl Qiqi. He is known for his vast herbal knowledge and mysterious air, qualities that make him both respected and enigmatic among Liyue’s residents. His pale complexion, mint-green hair, and the presence of his serpent companion, Changsheng, make him instantly recognizable. As a character, Baizhu represents a balance of intellect and grace—making him a rewarding choice for cosplayers who enjoy embodying calm strength and quiet sophistication.

The Outfit: Traditional Liyue Elegance

Baizhu’s clothing design reflects the perfect harmony between traditional Chinese herbalist garb and the intricate fantasy style Genshin Impact is known for. His outfit is composed of layered fabrics, delicate details, and colors that evoke healing and nature. While you can easily find pre-made Baizhu costumes online, creating or customizing your own will allow for greater authenticity and personal flair.

His outer robe is long and flowing, composed of soft fabrics like satin or silk to create an elegant drape that moves beautifully with each step. The robe features shades of white, teal, and lavender—tones that communicate serenity and balance. Beneath it, Baizhu’s inner layers are detailed with subtle mint-green undertones and golden embroidery that mimic herbal motifs, a subtle nod to his role as a pharmacist and healer.

Around his waist, he wears layered belts and sashes adorned with hanging tassels and charms, adding dimension and movement to the look. These details are key to bringing his costume to life, as they highlight the layered craftsmanship of Genshin Impact’s character designs. The outfit is completed with loose black trousers and open sandals, which balance his refined upper half with a touch of practicality. If you’re attending a convention, consider swapping sandals for skin-toned ballet flats or soft shoes that offer comfort while maintaining visual accuracy.

And, of course, no Baizhu cosplay is complete without Changsheng—the elegant white snake that rests around his shoulders. You can craft your own Changsheng using lightweight foam, wire, or fabric-stuffed tubing, or purchase a plush snake online for a soft and flexible alternative. Positioning the snake comfortably around your shoulders instantly makes the look recognizable and complete.

Hair & Wig Styling

Baizhu’s hair is a defining feature of his design—its soft, mint-green hue adds to his serene, almost ethereal presence. His hair falls to the middle of his back in smooth, layered lengths and is parted neatly to one side. To recreate it, look for a high-quality heat-resistant wig in a shade that sits between jade and pastel mint.

Once you’ve secured your wig, trim the bangs so they gently frame your face, mirroring Baizhu’s composed yet approachable appearance. Styling cream or a low-heat straightener can help achieve the sleek finish seen in the game. If you want to elevate the look further, consider adding small gold hair rings or ornamental accents—these subtle touches help convey his refined personality and attention to detail.

Eyes: Baizhu’s Glowing Green Gaze

Baizhu’s eyes are one of his most striking features. Their gentle, luminous green glow reflects his connection to nature and the Dendro element, giving him an almost healing aura. To capture this signature look, choose EyeCandys’ vibrant green cosplay lenses that feature emerald or jade tones. A hint of shimmer or light flecks can enhance their dimensional effect, creating that soft but captivating gleam seen in the game.

For added authenticity, lenses with a slight enlargement or a faint limbal ring can help achieve that refined, animated quality characteristic of Genshin Impact’s designs. EyeCandys offers prescription options as well, so you can see clearly while embodying Baizhu’s character.

If you normally wear glasses, you can opt for clear contact lenses for accuracy—or, for a subtle nod to his scholarly aesthetic, consider pairing your look with gold or amber-toned fashion frames from EyeCandys’ eyewear collection. This small touch can help transition your Baizhu-inspired look from cosplay to everyday fashion.

Makeup & Nail Art

Baizhu’s overall appearance is calm, polished, and scholarly, which should guide your makeup approach. Start with a smooth, porcelain-like base achieved through an even layer of foundation or BB cream to mimic his fair complexion. Focus on creating a soft matte finish that photographs well under indoor lighting or flash.

For the eyes, use a touch of light green shimmer or metallic eyeliner along the lower lash line to subtly highlight his Dendro connection. Avoid bold or heavy lines—Baizhu’s look should feel refined, not dramatic. Keep your brows well-shaped and slightly arched to complement the wig’s tone, lending a composed, intellectual air to your expression. A bit of soft contouring under the cheekbones and jawline will help define your features without looking harsh. Finish with a neutral lip color or a sheer coral tint to maintain a natural, healthy tone.

When it comes to nails, Baizhu’s elegance extends to every detail. Semi-cured gel nail stickers from EyeCandys in patterns like green marble, gold foil, or jade-inspired designs perfectly reflect his herbal and elemental aesthetic. Rounded or almond-shaped nails pair well with his gentle personality. If you’re feeling creative, consider adding small vine or leaf motifs for a nature-inspired flourish.

EyeCandys’ semi-cured gel nail stickers are an excellent choice for cosplayers on a schedule—they apply quickly, cure easily, and remain durable through long convention days, photoshoots, and panels.

Props & Accessories

The right accessories bring your Baizhu cosplay from good to unforgettable. Start with Changsheng, the iconic white snake companion. A lightweight plush or hand-crafted snake wrapped loosely around your shoulders instantly communicates who you are portraying.

For additional props, small potion bottles or scrolls make for wonderful character details. Fill glass vials with dried herbs or green-tinted liquid to represent Baizhu’s medicinal concoctions, or roll up aged paper into miniature scrolls tied with ribbon to evoke his apothecary practice. A small pouch or pharmacy-style satchel tied at your waist not only enhances authenticity but also doubles as storage for your personal items during conventions.

Finally, don’t forget his Dendro Vision—the glowing symbol of his elemental power. This is typically pinned near his belt and can be crafted from resin, acrylic, or even 3D-printed material for a lightweight finish that photographs beautifully. These small touches tie the character together and open up fun creative opportunities for photoshoots or interactions with other Genshin Impact cosplayers.

Channeling Baizhu: Posing & Presence

Baizhu’s character exudes calm intelligence and composed confidence. When posing for photos, think about how he moves—deliberate, graceful, and understated. Rest one hand gently on Changsheng or hold a scroll to convey quiet authority. Keep your posture upright but relaxed, shoulders down and head slightly tilted as though you’re deep in thought.

Facial expressions should remain soft and serene. Subtle smiles or contemplative gazes will communicate his thoughtful personality better than dramatic poses. If you’re attending a convention, you can add a touch of humor to your performance by carrying mock “herbal prescriptions” to hand out to fellow attendees—an in-character gesture that will make your portrayal even more memorable.

Final Thoughts

Cosplaying Baizhu offers a chance to embody one of Genshin Impact’s most elegant and enigmatic characters. His scholarly aura, tranquil presence, and lush green palette make him a standout choice for anyone drawn to refined and detailed cosplay. With EyeCandys’ green colored contacts, easy-to-use gel nail stickers, and a few creative props, you can fully step into the world of Liyue’s mysterious doctor. Whether for a convention, a photoshoot, or a casual cosplay gathering, Baizhu’s timeless look and composed energy are sure to leave an impression.
