Makeup Harley Quinn: features

The combination of extravagance, sexuality and fascinating attraction is something Harley likes so much. Its bright image is impossible not to notice, so those who choose such a makeup for the party, will necessarily be in the spotlight.

If you look closely at the heroine's photo, you can note several features of her appearance:

• A pallid skin (there will not be enough powder alone);
• Bright accents - and lips, and eyes are highlighted with contrasting colors, so that her makeup is not inferior in expressiveness to the image of the Joker;
• Growing shadows and a fuzzy outline of the eyes - this kind of negligence is not inadvertently invented: Harley is crazy, and this detail reveals externally the features of the inner world of the heroine;
• Eyes are colored with shadows of different shades;
• Tattoos in the form of a black heart on the cheekbone and an inscription on the cheek of ROTTEN, which in translation means "terrible, rotten, nasty";
• Bright lips with a clear black outline;
• Prominent eyebrows, but not very dark and broad.

What will be needed to create makeup?

Before making a make-up for Harley, you should collect all the necessary tools and cosmetics:

• Base makeup;
• Powder of light and darker shade;
• Concealer;
• Theatrical white make-up;
• Shadows of black, blue, pink shades;
• Black pencil;
• Lipstick of cherry color;
• Pencil or shade, tassel and eyebrow gel;
• Lipstick-shine.

Makeup, like Harley Quinn, step by step

• The first step is to prepare the person for color accents. Using a tonal basis to align its color, concealer brighten dark circles, bags under the eyes and other irregularities of the skin.
• We proceed to the contouring of the face: a light powder needs to be fixed to the makeup base in the T-zone area - the middle of the forehead, nose and chin. A darker shade of powder should be slightly emphasized cheekbones, darken the wings of the nose and lateral parts of the forehead. In this case, the face should not be formed clear boundaries of color. If there are no skills in contouring, it is better not to do it at all.
• If you want to create the closest to the classic image of Harley, you can use theatrical white make-up. It will also work if the natural complexion and light powder give a greyish shade - this is often the case, but this does not mean Harley's makeup. The make-up is applied with a special brush or simply with your fingers (driving movements) in a small amount, so that this mask does not resemble a clown's. Top of the makeup should also be powdered, not forgetting about the neck: it should not differ in color from the face.
• Then the turn of the eyebrows. At Harley, they stand out well enough, but do not attract attention. It is better to choose colors suitable for your color - gray-black, gray-brown. It can be a pencil or a shadow. After applying the color of the eyebrows, you need to comb it with a brush, thus staining the dye, and fix it with a gel for the eyebrows.
• The eyes in this make-up are painted in different colors: the right one - red-pink, the left-blue-blue. Apply the shadow to the mobile and lower eyelid, continuing to lead up to the cheekbone. Thus, you need to create an effect of spreading shadows. Further, the contour of the eye is emphasized with the help of a black pencil. It should be well shaded - not as important as accuracy, as the absence of clear lines.

• If the task is to create a pop art make-up, as shown in the photo (which repeats the picture from the comics), you will need to use a pen-marker or eyebrow marker. With its help you can draw lines of cheekbones, eyebrows, nose, chin, as in the photo. Dirty stains or ash on your face can be depicted with the help of dark (black or gray) shadows.

• The final touch is the makeup of the lips. At Harley they are not red, but a rich cherry or reddish-plum shade. It is this kind of lipstick that will be needed. The outline can be found with a black pencil. If desired, add a little shine to the center of each of the lips. Sometimes they create the effect of negligence, smearing lipstick from the lip to the chin.

Makeup Details

Harley's makeup itself is not difficult to accomplish. But its main feature is in detail. In addition to the divorce of shadows and lipstick, there are 2 tattoos on the person's face. This little black heart on the cheekbone near the right eye and on the same cheek, but below, the inscription ROTTEN. They can be painted with the same cosmetic marker or felt-tip pen. For the letters to be even, you can use a stencil.

How do I create a full image?

Makeup Harley Quinn - not the only feature of this image. To be as much like a heroine, you should take care of other details:

• Hair should be stained at the ends in red-pink and blue shades with the help of colored varnish or powder for hair, then collect them in two tall tails with elastic bands (pink and blue).
• Clothing: a shirt or T-shirt with white gaps, but with a red top, a bright red and blue sports jacket, short shorts with the same symmetrical shade division, one or two leather gloves in the same range, torn pantyhose, sneakers.
• Accessories: a wide choker with a metal inscription PUDDIN and a baseball bat with the words Good Night.

If you consider all the recommendations for creating this image, you will have to prepare for increased attention to your person.
