The Joker is one of the most mysterious and intriguing villains in the Batman comics. Follow the steps below to make a Joker costume for your holiday or party.

Steps

1. 1 Choose the Joker's signature colors, which are purple and green. Yes, it will not be easy to find these colors in an evening dress store for men, so go to any theatrical outfit salon or a store that usually sells various masks and paraphernalia for the holiday.
2. 2 Look for other items of his attire, which are most often brown. The Joker wears a brown (sometimes olive) tie, matching color, and shoes. Any tie and shoes of this color will satisfy the fashionable requirements of a villain joker, however, if you strive to achieve perfection, then review all films with his participation, paying special attention to the decoration of the Joker.
3. 3 Dye your hair green. Go to a major department store and find temporary spray hair dye.
4. 4 Use the knife as your weapon of choice. The Joker always carries a knife with him to torture and intimidate his victim, telling her scary stories, holding the knife right in front of the poor fellow. The very fact of the presence of a knife in a combat arsenal makes the blood freeze in the veins. So, go to Children's World and get yourself a toy knife for your festive costume.
5. 5 The Joker's makeup is arguably the most important element of his outfit. The make-up or "war paint" not only hides the true face of the Joker, but also instills fear in the hearts of the inhabitants of the city of Gotham. Creating a similar disguise shouldn't be too difficult. But what you need: white and black face painting, eyeshadow or liquid leash, and red face painting or red lipstick. Cover your face with white face painting and spread it all over your face, neck and ears. If you want to look more like Heath Ledger's Joker, then take black face painting, mascara or eyeshadow and apply these black mixtures generously on the eyelids and around the eyes. There is no need to carefully draw lines and the like. Apply just enough mascara to make your eyelids look dark and unkempt. Take your lipstick in your hands and casually apply it to your lips and even beyond the lips, drawing a frightening smile that will not have thin outlines, but, on the contrary, is carelessly smeared across the face mixed with white makeup, which can be achieved by simply spreading the lipstick with your fingers. And if you prefer to look like Jack Nicholson's Joker, then lightly trace the contours of your eyes with liquid eyeliner. Do not spread mascara or eyeliner around the eye area. Then, apply red lipstick to your lips, gently bringing a graceful and subtle smile beyond the physical boundaries of the lips, but do not just draw lines, but elegantly move the boundaries of the lips a little wider than natural, giving the impression that your lips are a ton of usual.
6. 6 Both prototypes of the Joker have yellow teeth, but this is due to the contrast of natural human teeth against the background of snow-white makeup, because note that all clowns have yellow teeth.

Tips

• Make sure your red lipstick is a little hard and tough, and after applying, smile 2-3 times to spread the lipstick over your lips.
• Practice saying the phrase: "Why are you so serious?" ominous tone of voice.
• The joker carries a joker playing card with him as his business card, you can also take with you the whole deck of cards or just one joker.
• Look at home for elements for your Joker costume, because your grandmother can always have something useful lying around on the balcony.
• Although Heath Ledger's Joker has a scary scar on his face, he doesn't smile as often as Jack Nicholson does in his film. Rehearse the acting according to your preferences, maybe you will be able to create your own character of this villain.

Warnings

• Check makeup by applying it to small areas of hair or skin to make sure it is safe and not allergic.
