The Joker Makeup Tutorial from "The Dark Knight" Batman Movie

This is my "copy" (with a few twists of my own added) of the Joker as portrayed by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.

You can do this entire look for around—or, under—$10 if you use cheap $1 lipstick and eyeshadow, and stick to the acrylic paint (patch test first to make sure you won't have a reaction!) Use paint brushes (clean ones!) to apply products. You can get the wax in small pots for around $5 or less (my small container of Mehron was $3.99 at a costume shop).

I've been obsessed with the Joker's makeup ever since the Dark Knight came out, and in the hours of tutorials I've watched, NO ONE else managed to describe and capture the details that you did. Thank you so much for putting this on YouTube. I can't wait to finally transform my boyfriend into the Joker this Halloween!

@RealCatwomanForever Aw thank you so much! There are a lot of other great tutorials, but many were focused on using the same application techniques as they used for the movie, with just haphazardly rubbing the makeup on. I wanted to create something that looked like you put on a Heath Ledger as The Joker mask, so I hope I did that! I hope you guys have a great Halloween!

@xxMCRvenomxx That's fine, Josh's tutorial was awesome. His is interesting because it is the actual "method" Heath Ledger used of just rubbing the makeup on. I was going for trying to make your face look like the makeup on Heath Ledger's face. We had two totally different approaches.

Thank you so much for making this video :D i am going to use your instructions for an upcoming staff party where the theme is "heros and villains" I don't have everything that you used for the mouth cause the stores in Denmark don't sell that kind of stuff, but I'm certainly going to use your instructions on everything els :)

So thank you so much :)
