What this video covers

Madeyewlook transforms into the two-faced Mayor of Halloween Town from Nightmare Before Christmas using theatrical face paints and a hand-painted lampshade hat. The look recreates the character's iconic dual expressions, pale complexion, and exaggerated features through careful color work and layering. A DIY prop lampshade is customized with acrylic paints to complete the costume. The result is an inventive, screen-accurate character makeup achievable with widely available products.

Key takeaways

  • Graftobian Pro Paint in black, white, and red forms the foundation of this character makeup
  • A real lampshade from a retail store is repurposed and hand-painted as the Mayor's signature hat
  • NYX eyeshadows are used to build depth and shadow into the character's features
  • The tutorial demonstrates how to recreate a dual-expression animated character on a single face
  • No prosthetics are required — the transformation relies entirely on skilled paint application
