Makeup & hair
Apply a pale white face base, then smudge dark black or purple eyeshadow around your eyes for a chaotic, smoky look.

Female Joker costume FAQ
- What makeup do I need for a Female Joker costume?
- You will need white face paint or very pale foundation, black or dark purple eyeshadow to create a messy smoky eye, and a vibrant red lipstick to draw the signature smeared smile.
- Can I make a DIY Female Joker costume without buying a full suit?
- Yes! You can pair a purple cardigan or jacket from a thrift store with black jeans, a green t-shirt, and an orange scarf. The green hair and classic makeup will make the character instantly recognizable.

- A short, messy green wig is the easiest option and keeps your natural hair clean. Alternatively, you can use temporary green hair color spray or hair wax, which washes out with shampoo.
