Mad Hatter Costume Makeup Tutorial With @makeupmadhouse

For your Mad Hatter makeup kit you will need:

• Mehron Clown White
• Mehron SFX Orange Colour Cup Makeup
• Mehron SFX Paradise Makeup AQ (Pastel)
• Paintglow Party Lipstick
• Paintglow UV Orange Face & Body Party Paint
• Coloured Contacts Makeup Sponge
• Coloured Contacts Powder Puff

In our collection of Mehron makeup and Paintglow makeup you can find the face paints you need to get started with your Mad Hatter DIY costume.

First, add your base of Mehron Clown White. Add a small amount of product to one of our beauty blenders, found in our Accessories collection. Dab on the product and then start to work it with your beauty blender to create a full white face paint. Make sure to set your clown white makeup with powder to ensure it lasts and isn’t sticky.

@makeupmadhouse’s Pro Tip: Blend your makeup all the way up to your hairline and on your ears.

Next take pink, red, purple, and blue eyeshadow to create colourful Mad Hatter eye makeup. Blend your colours to create a vibrant design around your eyes. Some powders and face paints can be used around the eyes instead of eyeshadow but make sure to check their suitability.

Continue using the colour, particularly the purple around your face to contour your nose, jaw, forehead and cheeks.

@makeupmadhouse’s Pro Tip: If the colour is too bright, use a white powder on top to tone it down.

Next, you need to make sure your eyebrows match the Mad Hatter’s vibrant orange hair. Take your Mehron orange face paint and draw on exaggerated cartoon eyebrows over your brows.

@makeupmadhouse’s Pro Tip: Use an angled brush and apply a little bit at a time to each eyebrow to ensure they match.

Add any details of your choosing to your eyes such as eyeliner, mascara or false eyelashes. Finally, add your chosen lip colours to complete your makeup.

Once you have completed your makeup, you are ready to add your wig, hat and Mad Hatter costume.

The final step of your Mad Hatter fancy dress is the Mad Hatter contact lenses. In this makeup look, @makeupmadhouse uses our classic Green Mad Hatter Lenses but many of our costume green coloured contacts will work for your Mad Hatter character, such as:

• Green Hulk Contact Lenses
• Green Angelic Contact Lenses
• Green Gara Manson Contact Lenses
• Green Werewolf Contact Lenses
• Green Witches Eye Contact Lenses

Make sure to also pick up a contact lens case and contact lens solution to properly prepare and store your coloured contacts.
