Superhero movies always seem to dominate the box office. In 2016 alone, films like Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War, and X-Men Apocalypse crushed it at theaters. Even more superhero flicks are due to release in the near future, like Doctor Strange and Thor: Ragnarok.

While I LOVE superhero movies (especially ones with Captain America), it can be easy to forget that heroes aren’t the only ones with worthwhile stories to tell. That’s why I’m super excited about a new DC Comics-universe movie hitting theaters this August 5th: Suicide Squad!

Suicide Squad – Official Trailer 1 [HD]

Suicide Squad follows a group of fan-favorite DC Comic supervillains who are recruited to a secret task force to carry out covert missions for the government. They’re officially called “Task Force X,” but adopt the nickname “Suicide Squad” because of the deadly nature of their missions. It’s not every day you see a superhero movie where the heroes are actually the supervillains.

In honor of the movie’s release, I created four Suicide Squad makeup looks for various characters in the film! Keep in mind that you don’t need every product listed to create these looks. Without further ado, let’s meet some Suicide Squad characters!

Harley Quinn

Harley Quinn, formerly known as Dr. Harleen Quinzell, was a psychiatrist who worked at Arkham Asylum and treated the The Joker. She became obsessed and fell deeply in love with him. Their manipulative relationship partly triggered her transformation into Harley Quinn.

Harley’s colorful hair is the main inspiration for her makeup look. Channel her signature colors with some shimmery magenta shadow on the eyes and bright turquoise liner underneath, or have turquoise shadow transition across the lids into a magenta color. A thick cat eye, subtle blush, and a glossy red lip are all that’s left to finish off the look. If the eyes are already dramatic enough for you, pair this look with a nude lip instead.
