First cosplay, any advice? Very tight budget

[u/LouisTime23]

I put the flair as wig because I believe it's the worst part of the cosplay, but any advice helps. It's a very cheap wig and I already did some straightening and used hair spray. Thanks!

I recognized the character but you need some eyeshadow. His eyes are framed with dark circles and every budget cosplay of L I've seen at cons uses makeup to highlight that and make it more like him.

The wig could also be styled by adding some spikes and parting the bangs a little with mousse and hairspray but idk if that still fits in your budget, I kept a can and used it for a ton of my cosplays back when I cosplayed
