The Killing Joke comes alive!

The Battle between

Order vs Chaos

Morality vs Immorality

The Dark Knight vs The Joker!

In the world of comic villains he is the most twisted character, he's also the greatest villain in the world of movies. Dumped in a vat of chemicals, a victim of self-mutilation with a sick sense of humor. He hates everything that batman loves! A purgence to a dark side that we all have. 

There's no batman without the joker, and there's no joker without the batman!

We all can't become jokers but we could  try and look like him-

Here are some easy steps that could turn you into the GREATEST VILLAIN IN THE HISTORY OF COMICS AND MOVIES- The Joker. 

Some background information- Christopher Nolan was inspired by the work of the 20th century British painter Francis Bacon and in turn this affected the make up design of The Joker. A classic example of how art can incept into cinematic representation. Are you ready?
All you need is-

• Some face paint colors:- White, black, red, blue and green
• Some talcum powder
•  Bright red lipstick
•  Waste cloth
•  A mirror to scare yourself and others in the end!
• The most basic rule that you will need to remember is that the joker is 'an Agent of Chaos'. So keep the look as messy as possible.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
  
                                                        
• Paint a base of white all over the face but avoid the area around your eyes, eyebrows, cheekbones. 

• Mark the edges of your lips with a bright red lipstick, extend them till your cheek bones. Fill the space.
• Now coming to the trickiest part, the space around you eyes! It should be dark and void so we need to use the colors in the order given below- First fill it with the darkest shade of black, profile them with a shade of blue. (The color may seem insignificant after your look is finished but it gives a gloomy yet scary look when it is amalgamated with some green. ) The final touch is given by the dark green, which should merge with the black and blue.
• Always remember the order while you apply the colors to your eyes- Black+Blue+Green.
  

• Make sure that the white base is patchy and messy, use a combination of some talcum powder as well as the white face paint. Even  the dark corners of your eyes have a significance to them so make sure they are pitch dark and messy to give your eyes a morbid look.
• Although the sweaty look that the joker has in the movies gives him a very realistic look. All you need to do is dampen the loose ends of your hair or even some parts of your face.
• The psychic nature of the joker lies in his eyes so pay special attention, try to invest time and effort to give a well defined and crazy look to your eyes.
• Scars on the face could be added with the help of blue and green strokes around the lips and chin. The Killing Joke story comes alive as you see the traditional joker colors come alive!

HOLD A CARD (Instead of a batman keychain that I used in this one, due to lack of resources) , and with a lot of intensity say "WHY SO SERIOUS?"
