What this video covers

This throwback 2012 tutorial from Madeyewlook walks viewers through a colorful Mad Hatter–inspired Halloween makeup look. The creator uses a mix of MAC Chromacakes, vibrant eyeshadow palettes, and theatrical liner to build a whimsical, character-accurate face paint effect. The look leans heavily into bold color play and fantasy-inspired design rather than gore or horror aesthetics.

Key takeaways

  • MAC Chromacakes serve as the primary base paint, activated with water for smooth, opaque coverage
  • Layering multiple eyeshadow shades and liner creates the exaggerated, storybook character effect
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion is used to improve color payoff and longevity
  • A simple drugstore makeup sponge is sufficient for applying the base
  • The finished look suits both Halloween costumes and theatrical or cosplay applications
