You thought Jordan Catalano was the quintessential bad boy? Nope! Jared Leto definitely had a few more tricks up his sleeve as far as portraying mysterious, misunderstood dudes. As soon as the now-famous image of Leto as the Joker, covered in tats and lookin’ a little wild, flew onto the internet shelves, people went nuts. They loved it. They hated it. Whatever they felt, no one could stop talking about it! (Ourselves included.) Re-inspired by the new cover of Empire magazine, we dropped everything to create this Joker makeup tutorial and Cosplay look.

The more we see this costume, the more we like it. Right? Ugh. WHEN does Suicide Squad come out? Not until next August?! We’d prefer not to wait so long…

White Body Paint – Shop Batman Gray Sleep Pants – Shop
Joker Gloves – Shop Green Hair Spray – Shop
As you can tell, this costume relies mostly on the makeup, but a few key pieces of costume are totally mandatory! To recreate Leto’s famous screaming pose, be sure to wear some comfy Batman sweatpants, spray your hair green, and don one, just one, purple glove. Because, why not? Half the hygiene for this guy.

We are lucky enough to have friends at the local tattoo parlor who helped us apply these FAKE tattoos, but this is definitely doable at home! Because, guess what – you can buy temporary tattoo paper at the craft store! Just print these suckers out and cover yourself with faux-ink. It’s all in the ha-ha-ha’s, guys.
