In this video lesson, Makeup Artist Matt Cail teaches how to add laugh lines across Joker's smile in dark makeup, which will replicate Heath Ledger's look.



Video Transcripts: MATT CAIL: "Next we're going to do a effect as what we did up in the forehead except now down in the laugh line. Now smile big and wide. You're going to see these natural laugh lines that you have, we're going to add some black discoloration to them. So again we're going to start like very similar to the forehead where we're going to kind of go in these natural grooves of the face. If you find yourself running out of black makeup go grab some more. Start in here at the nose and kind of come down through the red. It's fine if you discolor it. No problemo at all. There's usually about two or three of these. Now these are going to be nice even lines at first but then we're going to blotch it. Oh yeah. These guys are not going to stay nice and neat. What this is going to do is it's going to give your joker more of a perpetual smile. It's going to look really creepy. It's going to add some extra black smudging to the red too. It'll help if you didn't get the good smudging earlier on the red you're definitely going to have it now because it's kind of resulting more of like a purple bruise shade. Extend this even up into the eyes because the laugh lines will start almost up in the eyes. What we're going to do is after we've done this once, do this probably like maybe two or three lines and that's enough. You don't want to overdo it, and then repeat this step on the other side of the face."
