Makeup & Hair Video Tutorial on the Heath Ledger Version of The Joker

Halloween is quickly approaching so Nisha and I want to help you out with your costume ideas.  The video that we have here is a tutorial of the Heath Ledger version of The Joker from The Dark Knight.  I really wanted to achieve that messy sweaty dirty look that he had in the movie.  Watch our tutorial to find out how.

What you will need

1. Makeup Primer 2. Rigid Collodion for scarring 3. Spirit Gum 4. Fake Skin 5. Foundation Brush 

6. Tube of White Cream Makeup 7. Black Cream Makeup 8. Red Lipstick 9. White Powder 

The Joker in my pictures is my cousin Chase.  The outfit that you see him wearing above was a custom design by my sister Alisha of Fairytale Jubilee.  The pants and tie he bought at the store.  Just talk to a local seamstress and you could have a vest and shirt custom made also.  Visiting thrift stores and Goodwill stores is also a good idea to find similar items.  His wig was a cheap Joker wig that I cut layers into.  Then I used a black Gypsy Stick (hair chalk) on random strips of hair to add dimension to the wig.  Then I added olive oil to make the hair look greasy.

Please feel free to ask any questions.  I would be happy to answer!

XOXO,
