Step 1
Get the hair. Ledger's Joker hair was a green-blond. Apply temporary dye or get a wig. Then put tons of hair product, such as gel and oils in order to get the oily, scraggly look.
-
Step 2
Get the face makeup. Smear white paint unevenly around the face, so that some of the skin tone shows. You can apply the paint with a sponge. Do not apply white paint on the eyebrows.
-
Step 3
Use a wet sponge to apply black shadow around the eyes. Ledger's joker has uneven, dirty eye makeup. Again, the look is imperfectly smeared on.
-
Step 4
Smear on red paint or lipstick on the face with your fingers. Ledger's lip makeup is a clown gone deranged--it is not perfectly applied. The lip paint does extend further outside of the mouth up on the cheeks.
-
Step 5
Get a collared shirt, tie and vest. Ledger had a gray collared button-up that had a snakeskin pattern beneath a hexagon pattern. Ledger's tie was gray with a pattern cream and black pattern on it. Get a button-up green waistcoat or vest.
-
Step 6
Get a loose fitting, long suede purple jacket. There is also satin red detailing in the inside. The jacket truly looks like something you could find on a rack at a thrift store.
-
Step 7
Get pants. Ledger had vertical dark and light striped purple pants that hit the ankle.
-
Step 8
Get multi-colored socks and shoes. He wore socks with a pattern of purple, creme and green boxes. He also had worn, beat-up black lace-up shoes.
-
Step 9
Get the gloves. Ledger wore black leather gloves in the movie.
