Jem and the Holograms Makeup

Jem and the Holograms is a 1985-1988 T.V. show. It is a about a girl who has an alter-ego, named Jem, whose mysterious power comes from her earrings creating a projection that forms Jem and her band, The Holograms!

Makeup Supplies:
  • Brushes
  • Heavy liquid foundation
  • Hot pink lipstick
  • Hot pink blush
  • Light pink eyeshadow
  • Pink glitter cream eyeshadow
  • Black eyeliner
  • Black mascara


1. Using a heavy liquid foundation, apply to your whole face and blend accordingly. Using a heavy cream will make the overall effect more of a cartoon.


2. Start by using the hot pink lipstick and apply to the eyelid. Extend along your eyebrow down to the top of your cheekbone and come back up to about the halfway point of your eye. Fill in with the lipstick, this acts as a base/filler it will help the shadow to stick and gives an even color.

3. Take a brush and load it with hot pink blush, go back over the lipstick around your eye and clean up the edges to get a solid lines. Going over the whole thing will give a rich, vibrant color.

4. Using a light pink eyeshadow and a big, fluffy brush, gently tap it on your brow bone. This creates lift and makes it appear 3-D instead of 2-D.

5. Line your eyes black eyeliner and pink glitter. Use a flat brush and cream glitter eyeshadow. Apply a few coats of mascara to get some glam lashes.


6. Apply hot pink lipstick. To create a three dimensional effect, we are going to highlight the lips. Use a light pink eyeshadow and gently dab onto the center on your lips, both on top and on bottom.


The makeup look finished but to complete the costume, you need some Jem-tastic hair!


You'll Need: A blonde rocker wig and pink clip-in extensions
Clip in the pink extensions around the wig, the more you use the better it looks. Tease the wig to achieve big, messy hair just like a 1980s rocker.


"Glamour and glitter,
Fashion and fame!"
Theme song from Jem and the Holograms
