Joker scars created with non-flexible collodion. (Black, red & white creme makeup to be applied later.) The idea of this design was to create scars more extreme than those in the film, while giving the Joker a kind of "Jack Skellington" look.
A closer look at the deep facial scarring created with non-flexible collodion. Unlike putties or appliances--which add material to the face in order to create the illusion of scars--collodion allows the artist or performer to actually "sculpt" the flesh of the face, creating scars that are startlingly realistic, even up close, without makeup.
The depth of the scarring depends on the number of layers of collodion used. After painting the initial scar pattern on the face, allow the collodion to dry for a couple of minutes. Apply successive layers of collodion to the scar, allowing the liquid to dry between applications. Each layer of collodion will deepen the scar. Vary the number of layers in certain areas to create the uneven effect of a badly-healed laceration.
Non-flexible collodion is a quick and easy way to create authentic-looking scars. Use a small paintbrush to paint the collodion wherever you want the scars to appear. As the collodion dries, it contracts the skin, creating the realistic look of old scar. The Joker scars in these photos took about 15 minutes to apply.
