The Many Faces of Harley Quinn

I love both the original red and black Harley Quinn from the Batman cartoons I used to watch as a kid and the modern day pink and blue version. I’ve had a lot of fun recreating both of these looks. I use a combination of makeup, costuming, and photoshop to achieve my final edited pictures.

 

 

I’ve done a variety of Harley Quinn makeup looks over the years (below) and to achieve the modern day blue and pink look, I simply use bright blue and pink shadows on my lid and use a fluffly brush to expand them to my crease and below my eye for that wild look. I use a black eyeliner (like Stila stay all day or Kat Von D’s liquid liner) for winged eyeliner and to write “ROTTEN” and accent with a heart. I lovingly apply red lipstick and then smear it everywhere using a a tissue. And there you have it, a fabulous Harley Quinn!

For the outfit, I simply used found pieces in my closet that matched her general aesthetic: fishnets, jean shorts, a white top with a jacket, and of course, bleached blond hair accented with pink and blue.

Whatever Harley Quinn you decide to be, whether for Halloween or another occasion, you will undoubtedly have a ton of fun recreating the look of this harlequin.
