The Joker (HA! Heehee! Ho! Heh! AHA! Hmmm)

Alright, here's the deal... I've seen the movie twice now, and throughout the time it's been out, I've seen a TON of people dressed as Heath Ledger's version of The Joker.

Here's my beef:

Almost all of them are WRONG!!

Seriously! I've only found ONE guy on YouTube that came really close to actually matching it. Everybody in person looked either too neat, or too dark, or something... either way, it wasn't perfect, and my O.C.D. side came roaring to life.

Here's my version of Heath Ledger's version of The Joker.

Here's everything I used:
MEHRON Modeling Putty Wax
MEHRON Fantasy F-X White face makeup
Avon Big Color Eye Crayon in Night Glisten
Disguise Stix Soap-Based Red Paint
MEHRON Tooth F-X Nicotine/Decay tooth paint
GRAFTOBIAN Premium Concentrated Color Hair Spray (Green)


Here are some tips, tricks, and notes:
1. Don't set this look with any powder! You want it to sweat, smear, smudge, and essentially, come off! Take a good look at the Joker in the movie... it looks, to me, like he never washes his face... just adds more on as it falls off. The earlier in the day, the better it looks... the later in the day, the more cracks, creases, lines, and smudges he has.

2. Guys: SHAVE!! If you're going to go all out for this look, don't try to cover your facial hair, it won't work! If you want to try anyway, get some hair-covering wax and then cover that up. It'll be itchy, though, I'm warning you now.

3. When applying the face putty, try to make it as thin as possible, then layer on top of it. You'll have to play with it to get it the right consistency. Practice on your arm first, before you start slapping it on your face and making a mess :-)

4. The less brushes you use, the better. Try doing it all with your fingers! I really like the effect I got from applying the white with a sponge, but your fingers can get the same uneven, smudgey effect!

5. DO NOT! And I repeat, DO NOT paint your teeth if they are capped or crowned, or if you have fillings or braces! This product is non-toxic, but it could stain any dental work permanently (it doesn't permanently stain your real teeth, though).

6. For your hair, wet it down really well so it's stringy, then take a really heavy, crunchy hair gel or heavy hair wax and scrunch it into your hair while you blow dry it. After it's dry, spray the temporary green hairspray all over your hair. Spraying it on dry hair should make it brighter. Also, be careful spraying super blonde, bleached, dyed, or damaged hair... it could stain permanently. Oh yeah... and please spray in a well-ventilated area. It's non-toxic, but don't take chances, -k-?

7. All the products (except the eye crayon) cost me $19.87 at a costume store here in town. The eye crayon was only $4, I think, out of an Avon catalog, but you can use any black eyeliner. The bigger you get, the easier it'll be.

I think that's everything... I'll add more notes if I think of them. I HOPE EVERYBODY LOVES IT!!!

Oh, and leave some nice comments for amazing sister for letting me do this to her :-)

Peace out, yo!!

I dressed like the joker recently it was very time consuming. I had to dye a suite purple because I could not find a purple suite. I had to by face make up and lipstick and green hair dye, nice pair of shiny dress shoes and dress shirts and a purple and blue tie and leather gloves. I looked just like the joker on the batman cartoon.
