There's been an influx of new potential Thrawns lately, so I figured it would be most helpful to put this all in one place where others can reference it rather than popping up in every thread and repeating myself.
 
MAKEUP
 
I've done a lot of bodypaint characters over the years, especially blue people, and at this point I have used or at least tested pretty much every blue bodypaint on the market. There's no right or wrong choice, but I can lay out the pros and cons so no one has to waste money on trial and error. I have chosen for this list mostly products that have broad availability, and mostly inexpensive. Where the best options are expensive, I have offered a more affordable counterpart.
 
Water soluble makeup options:

Ben Nye :
            pros: inexpensive, widely available, decent color range, ease of application
            cons: mediocre wear quality, some flaking/scaliness depending on application. No great Rebels match without blending

Kryolan Aquacolor
            Pros: price, availability, ease of application
            Cons: medium wear quality, no great Rebels Thrawn color currently

Kryolan Supracolor
            Pros: better wear than the previous two, nice color range
            Cons: Stains garments, not a fan
 
Mehron Paradise
              Pros: Price, longterm wear with sealant, good color choices
              Cons: Small packaging, quickly used up

MAC Chromacake
            Pros: Perfect color option for Rebels Thrawn, longevity of wear
            Cons: 28$/3 oz, gets used up quickly

ProAiir Dips
Pros: longevity, lightweight feel
Cons: airbush only, no Rebels Thrawn match without blending
 
Vibe by European Body Arts
            Pros: longevity, color options, hand or airbrush application
            Cons: heavier feel on the skin, difficulty in removal
 
Alcohol activated options:

Kryolan BIC
            Pros: lightweight, skin still ‘breathes’, price, extensive longevity
            Cons: Blue is very dark, Turquoise is very green – good for Legends Thrawn but not Rebels color.
 
Skin Illustrator
            Pros: can buy individual colors rather than full pallets, great color selection, very lightweight feel
            Cons: palletes are very small, used up quickly, can apply streaky – better option for those with existing makeup skills

Endura (liquid) fun fact:  Endura Light Blue is the base coat used by Marvel for the Kree aliens!
Pros: longevity of wear, good Rebels turquoise, many blue options for blending, hand or airbrush application
Cons: Takes a while to remove, midweight-heavy feel on the skin

Endura (pallet)
Pros: longevity, lightweight feel
Cons: no good Rebels Thrawn color currently, would require mixing skills which is difficult when its dry pallet
 
Detailing Makeup

Powder Contour options:

Coastal Scents color pallets: inexpensive, many blues included in palletes, low pigment

NYX individual eye shadows: inexpensive, mix and match, matte powders for shading. Medium pigment

MAC individual eye shadows: expensive, mix and match, high pigmentation
 
L'Oreal: inexpensive, has a great greenish-turquoise light shimmer powder good for hilight and toning base blue to match Rebels

Red under eye liner:

NYX liquid red: inexpensive, good longevity, shows up well on top of blue

STILA red liquid liner: expensive, good longevity, very strong matte color

Sephora brand red liners: inexpensive, pencil style

(Stay away from lip liners and similar products; they're the easiest to find red liners in, but lip products are not intended to be eye safe. It is unlikely to cause an issue, but has the potential to do so)

Lipstick

NYX light blue: perfect color match for Endura light blue liquid, so you don't have to use base coat your lips

MAC Amplified: has several matte shades to match Endura, Mehron, Aquacolor, other blues can be found in different lipstick lines

For the light pink over color; you want a nude (not pink!) semi-sheer matte lip gloss. There are too many options to narrow down a right or wrong choice; for inexpensive widely available brands that have acceptable options; L'Oreal, NYX, E.L.F, Maybelline

Brow Products

Kat Von D Brow pomade: comes in both natural and unnatural (blue, although currently only light) shades. Its a highly pigmented product that will easily cover bodypaint.Expensive

DipBrow pomade: natural shades; black + blue powder best for this application. High pigmentation will cover bodypaint base. Expensive

For inexpensive options, buy a brow brush (suggestion: E.L.F Eyebrow Duo Brush) that has a mascara wand-like end to pull up any brow hairs painted down with blue, and a sharp, angled brush to fill in and re-draw your brows. All the powder options above that have a deep blue would be suitable for this purpose!

E.L.F. eyebrow stencil: If you have covered up your brows with bodypaint, are inexperienced in drawing in your eyebrows, or are aiming for the shape and size of Rebels Thrawn's very well-plucked brows, this is the easiest way to go and ELF is your most inexpensive option.

Sealants

Ben Nye Final Seal – for any and all of the above options, is the gold standard of theatrical makeup

ProSeal (European body arts) – for alcohol makeup options

Removers

Unveil/Vapore: high powered removers that will take off any of the above options, but are the #1 choice for alcohol activated makups

Ben Nye Remove It All: a less expensive all-around makeup remover, not as good at alcohol makeup

Witch Hazel: inexpensive option to take off most alcohol-activated makeups in non-sensitive areas (neck, ears, hands, etc)


Hair Options

Rebels Thrawn requires dark blue hair, unlike Legends Thrawn's black hair. These color options will work on most hair, if you have naturally platinum, grey, or pre-lightened hair there is the possibility of staining.

Temporary, wash-out hair color sprays:

Jerome Russell B'Wild spray

ION Brights Airbrush Color
 
Blue Hue Liquid Chalk

Color Bombz 
 

Hair Waxes, these are all pretty similar products, available on Amazon in most countries. Bonus of not required additional styling product as they are a medium hold pomade
 
Mofajang 

Volluck

Chige

Wig options
 
Wig Is Fashion: Chinese based website with NA/EU/UK shipping options, no short cut options available but many variations on blue lacefront wigs that could be cut to suit. Will also do custom with any existing color, based on photos, in the 100$ range. Your best quality for a low cost option if you can't use your real hair.

Enchanted Sea: Instagram/Deviant Art, cosplay artist who has done custom Rebels Thrawn wig in the past.

Hero Hair: high end, full custom, film-quality handmade wigs.




I will be updating with additional materials in the future; I'm working on a couple of video makeup tutorials featuring some of these options, as well as print files for accurate epaulets + guide on sizing them for print

501st was pretty standard. I had made a Kylo Ren cosplay and took it to one of our bigger local cons. Ended up meeting a few members and they encouraged me to join since my costume was just about there. It then took me 4 months to actually join because my boots were lost in the void. 

And I loved it, but Kylo is a bit of a beast to wear. And with my health not being the best, I started looking into costumes that would be a bit physically easier to wear. And since we had a few other Kylos in my garrison, I settled on Hux as my next build. 

Found a lovely person to build it, paid for it, got a wig and all the needed things for the costume.... Then did a makeup test one day and it took 3 entire hours to get my eyebrows ginger. And I was not about that life. A friend suggested that I try Mitaka instead, since we had similar features and demeanors. I was here for it. And it required much less makeup wizardry.
 
@rattleandburn was an absolute gift and switched what she was making, and then I had to track everything else down.

Interestingly, I actually ended up getting approved in the IOC with my line officer first, and then submitting the first order LT about a week after, but that 100% was not the intention. Esp since I need to go back and remake that whole uniform.

I LOVE the name dress uniform for that hux style outfit! 

Everyone's basically covered everything, but as we've seen the ranking scheme go is one uniform, two ranks (Lt./Capt, Major/Colonel, and now this as General/Admiral) and it uses the rank stripes given to us in the visual dictionary which clearly states the ranks. To be quite honest, this seems like a no-brainer. We know the rank stripes mean X, we have seen both on this uniform in film and promo images. Ergo, it is these ranks.

The issue here isn't with this black uniform and its associated ranks, the issue is that we have a 'generic general' wearing Hux's uniform that is now, due to information shown and given in TLJ, an incorrect anomaly - imo that's what needs looked at, asking sources for clarification if possible (is it a dress uniform?is Hux just special?) and a revision in name so that this uniform with reference can be given its due. If anything is getting a non-ranked uniform description title as a CRL, it should be the one without canon source. This Admiral/General has canon rank information

If they have to take it apart, I will definitely just return it right away.  I am not destroying something like that, especially since the MuR uniforms seemed like they were sought after.  I wonder why they stopped?
 
Thank you for the additional information, this helps a lot!

They may not have to take it entirely apart; but will at least have to take out the lining, most likely. Its quite possible to get the majority dimensions and then do a little math and extrapolate a little.

There is a pretty good olive drab/field grey twill that JoAnn's carries now, but they carry it inconsistently and not at every store, mostly just their big ones that carry the broader suiting collection. I know @Tentayena ordered some off their site so he may remember its name or have the link, if you can get your hands on that its a good fabric and very inexpensive.

A couple notes on the ones you linked, since I have sampled them on my hunt for a consistent source. The TrimFabric one is gorgeous, very nice rich color, soft. It doesn't breathe well, as its full poly, and will pill beneath the armpits/belt and on the inner trouser legs after a few wears.

The Onlinefabricstore one; its a little bit too dark to be accurate. I have used it in red for Isard; fabric quality surprisingly nice for the price, but same as the above with the pilling and lack of breathability

The wool-poly blend from TrimFabric is a good quality fabric, has the right amount of natural fiber + manmade to be durable but not pill. Your mileage may vary on the color though, I thought it was too dark but thats just my opinion.
 
Edit: forgot I'd posted about it on facebook, the SKU for buying online is 400157754977, and here's a relatively true to color image, although it reads a bit more grey in real life

Hold out for the last issue of the Thrawn comic where he'll be in the Grand Admiral uniform finally, and then come back and make your case with some lovely full 360' reference images

I believe there have been posts about this exact subject from confused members previously, too. I love configs but yeah a little bit of tightening up is required here I think.

Thanks for clarifying on this (I'm the recruit being reference in the OP). I just picked up my hat with Krennic disk and wasn't sure if I was allowed to wear it with the standard config. I might have to pickup a poncho now
 
 

I'd definitely suggested seeking out a custom build or crow props. I have the ImperialBoots ones (bought them in the first wave) I can count on my fingers how many times i've worn them still; the zipper is broken, the soles are peeling off, the leather is cheap and scuffed through/can't be buffed out. Huge disappointment there; Gio at least uses nice leather on his builds.

Just poking my head in to throw out a few more vendors for First Order boots, mostly because the quality on the imperialboots is somewhat less than desired. 

Gio at Crow Props has begun taking commissions for First Order officer boots around the same price point as IB, and are custom made to you.
Or, if money isn't an issue (I know it was somewhat for you specifically, but I just want to throw these out for anyone who might be lurking) Magnoli Clothiers recently released these

My wallet still hurts looking at them tbh.

Also re. Gloves
They look good to me! The flair on the gauntlet might be a bit tricky to tuck into a sleeve, but provided the leather is soft enough, i don't see it barring anything approval wise
 

Those look fantastic! And in incredibly good shape for their age.

Wanted to check on these boots.
 
 I've had these awhile, they are second world war German Wehrmacht officer riding boots.
 
Black Real Leather, smooth leather soles, non-slip heel
 
20" Tall, smooth, no buckles or zipper, top is straight not Spanish style or cut at all
 
Single seam up back side of boot, and stitching visible on each side from boot pulls
 
Would these pass approval?  In reading the costume requirements on the 501st page, it seems these would even meet Tier 3, but I could be wrong and wanted to check

There's been an influx of new potential Thrawns lately, so I figured it would be most helpful to put this all in one place where others can reference it rather than popping up in every thread and repeating myself.

Real late reply here, but; the alterations to Rebels Thrawn's uniform are not something CosplaySky has available but they're simple enough that most of the vendors who sell on Etsy or similar places making staff/line officers should be able to do if you give them the reference that shows where the new seams are. Its a pretty minor pattern alteration for someone who has already created the patterns and knows the standard variant.

Just show them ref like this (full color bottom version has the new seam variants), or the cg model's full turnaround image which you should be able to find just by searching "rebels thrawn model" or similar

You look great! Always good to see more Thrawns around

I would like to share with you my delight at recently getting clearance with the UKG with my Grand Admiral Thrawn - Rebels version

It took standing the man on a podium and blowing a wind machine at him to get the split to billow and show itself like that. It's a heavy coat, and Hux wears a lot of black, plus most of his scenes are very dark and with dark backgrounds. Seeing through the split as he's walking around is going to be difficult. It's imperceptible when he's standing still because the edges are flush.

There is a LOT of important design elements for this coat, which has been moved into higher level clearance (level 2/3) for whatever reason. ALL of which are definitive, proveable, and very, very clearly there. The front pockets. The center back seam. The princess seams. The cuffs on each sleeve. The two extra coattails at the back with the diagonal edges. This stuff is valid and there is ample proof it exists and yet it was all bumped to "optional".

The split in the coat is there, from the center back seam (just above the lower back) to the bottom hem. This, along with all of the above, should be basic due to ample proof.
There may or may not be a box pleat from the center back seam up to the shoulders somewhere. This is a hard maybe and doesn't harm anyone to include.
 
I'm honestly not sure why "can we get the wrap detail re-added please" and "can we add this split in, as seen in the movie, please" are meeting such resistance.

Its super not a box pleat, Hux just has only the one scene where he (or the wind) move it enough for it to be extremely visible, as it lies quite neatly otherwise. There's evidence for one (split) and not the other (pleat). CRLs should be based on what can be seen and proved; there's a couple of other things on Hux that everyone does when they create their costume, but are mostly just extrapolated from the grey uniforms that have the same construction, as we don't see it ON Hux due to shadows or wearing a coat, and thus no one's ever tried to even offer them as CRL edits.

CRLs should be based on what can be seen and proved; there's a couple of other things on Hux that everyone does when they create their costume, but are mostly just extrapolated from the grey uniforms that have the same construction, as we don't see it ON Hux due to shadows or wearing a coat, and thus no one's ever tried to even offer them as CRL edits.
