What this video covers

Makeup artist Alexys Fleming of Madeyewlook recreates the iconic Psycho bandit look from the video game Borderlands 2, capturing the character's distinctive cel-shaded, comic-book aesthetic entirely through makeup and face paint. The tutorial walks through the full transformation using a mix of professional-grade cosmetics from Mehron, MAC, BH Cosmetics, and Sugarpill. The result is a striking, Halloween-ready character look that doubles as a cosplay recreation.

Key takeaways

  • Achieves Borderlands' signature cel-shaded art style using face and body paints rather than prosthetics
  • Uses a combination of Mehron Paradise Paints, MAC Chromacake, and MAC Acrylic Body Paint for the base and bold graphic lines
  • Sugarpill and BH Cosmetics eyeshadows contribute to the vibrant color accents in the look
  • Suitable as both a Halloween costume makeup and a cosplay competition look
