And she shared on her Instagram post exactly which makeup products she used: Mehron Clown White face paint, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Pro Pigment Palette Vol. 2, the Morphe x James Charles Palette, Beauty Bakerie Lollipop Liner, Fenty Beauty Vivid Liquid Eyeliner in Wet T-Shirt, Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in American Doll, Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, Huda Beauty Overachiever Concealer, Huda Beauty #FauxFilter Foundation, Moon Creations Face & Body Paint, Skeddit Colorant Vessels, and Colourpop’s new Smoke Show Palette.
“I chose the four that were most unique and recognisable to me,” McHale says. No offense, Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero. “It’s really hard to pick a favourite joker as they all have such special stories and characteristics, but if I had to pick, I would say Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker.”
