Whether you're headed to a con, prepping for a cosplay shoot, or just want to capture Barbara’s pure-hearted energy, this guide will help you pull together her look from head to toe—complete with EyeCandys colored contacts, semi-cured gel nail stickers, and plenty of charm.

Choose Your Version of Barbara

Barbara’s classic look in Genshin Impact is elegant, polished, and filled with detail. It’s the version most cosplayers gravitate toward and the one we’ll focus on in this guide:

• A white-and-blue fantasy-style idol dress with gold accents

• Puffy sleeves and ribbon-trimmed cuffs

• A choker and Hydro Vision

• White boots with gold detailing

• Her golden blonde twin ponytails

Whether you’re going for a screen-accurate cosplay or putting your own spin on it, the following breakdown will help you bring this beloved healer to life.

Costume Breakdown: Idol Meets Fantasy

Barbara’s outfit blends religious symbolism with J-pop stage presence—elegant yet cheerful.

What to Look For:

• White puff-sleeve dress with navy and teal accents, flared skirt, and gold trim

• Hydro symbols on the bodice and sleeves

• Long sleeves that are separate from the main dress

• Blue ribbon choker with her Vision symbol

• White high-heeled boots with crosses and gold trim

Most costume sets come pre-made, but if you’re crafting your own, pay attention to:

• Textile textures like satin or velvet for a stage-ready look

• Gold bias tape or embroidery for trim

• Built-in petticoat to give the skirt bounce and shape

Add in her Hydro Vision prop—either purchased or made with resin—and you're stage-ready.

Hair: Golden Blonde Twin Pigtails

Barbara’s cheerful pigtails are part of her signature silhouette. They give her that idol-like bounce and youthful energy.

Styling Tips:

• Choose a light golden blonde wig with curled tips

• Add a soft side bang or swept fringe

• Tie two thick pigtails with light blue bows

• Use volumizing products or wig styling techniques to get a soft, full shape

A wig with heat-resistant fiber is ideal if you want to add some custom curls or volume yourself.

Eyes: Bright Blue with Colored Contacts

Barbara’s eyes are a clear, bright sky blue—the kind that sparkle with positivity. You can easily recreate her look with EyeCandys’ blue colored contacts, available in both cosmetic and prescription options.

Best Features to Look For:

• High-pigment aqua or sky blue hues

• Soft limbal rings for an anime-style eye shape

• Hydration-focused materials for all-day wear at cons or events

Note for Glasses Wearers: Since Barbara doesn’t wear glasses, this is the perfect time to try out EyeCandys’ clear prescription lenses or prescription colored contacts. That way, you get her wide-eyed look without sacrificing your vision.

Makeup: Sweet Idol Glam

Barbara’s makeup is soft, fresh, and feminine—perfect for cosplayers who love subtle glam.

Face:

• Light coverage foundation or BB cream with a dewy finish

• Warm peachy blush across the apples of the cheeks and nose

• Gentle highlight on the cheekbones and inner eye corners

Eyes:

• Soft pastel eyeshadow (pale pinks, lavenders, or shimmer white)

• Winged eyeliner with a slight upward curve

• Fluffy or doll-like lashes

• White eyeliner in the waterline to enlarge the eyes

Lips:

• Glossy pink lip tint or sheer lip gloss

• Optional glitter gloss for idol stage sparkle

This look pairs perfectly with EyeCandys contacts and can be dialed up or down depending on your event.

Nails: Magical Girl Manicure

Barbara may be a healer, but she always looks put-together—down to the tips of her fingers.

Easy Nail Art with EyeCandys Gel Stickers:

• Choose semi-cured gel nail stickers in shades of baby blue, white, or soft gold

• Look for accents like stars, hearts, or musical notes

• Go for glossy or pearl finishes to match her stage-ready vibe

These peel-and-stick gel nail stickers are long-lasting and can be applied in minutes—perfect for cosplayers on the go.

Props & Accessories

Adding the right props will help you embody Barbara even more.

Ideas to Consider:

• Hydro Vision: A must-have on her waist or hip

• Microphone prop: To reflect her in-game performances

• Spellbook or prayer book: For healer poses

• LED halo or magical light stick: A nod to her idol status

Carrying small props can also help you strike dynamic poses during photo ops or performances.

Embodying Barbara: Movement & Expression

Barbara is energetic, sweet, and always smiling—even when things get tough. She’s a pop idol with a pure heart, and bringing her to life means embracing her warmth and enthusiasm.

Tips:

• Practice cheerful, open poses like waving, heart hands, or singing motions

• Smile wide and soft—think comforting, not over-the-top

• Use soft hand gestures and idol-inspired movements

• Reference her in-game animations for inspiration
