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.

Fashion and fame!"

Troll Doll Makeup and Hair

These cute dolls were first introduced in 1959 by a Danish woodcutter named Thomas Dam.


Makeup Supplies You'll Need
  • Brushes
  • Foundation
  • Eyeliner
  • Mascara
  • White eyeshadow
  • Nude Lipstick
  • Deep bronzer
  • Cotton balls



1. Start by prepping your skin with your foundation.
2. Take the cotton balls and get a good amount of bronzer on it. Rub the bronzer across your face, past your jawline, down your neck, and even past your shirt neckline. It will look very orange, but Trolls have dark orangish skin.


3. Trolls have very big, round eyes. To make your eyes appear larger, you are going to put white eyeshadow on the inside corner and the outside corner. Lightly drag the excess shadow across the rest of the lid. Line the tops and bottoms of your eye, leaving the corners. Apply mascara to the top and bottom lashes.


4. Apply a nude-colored lipstick. Then using your pointer finger apply the same bronzer as above, on top of your lips. The lipstick acts as an adhesive, making the bronzer stay put.


The makeup look completed.
Now for the hair.

Hair Supplies You'll Need:
  • Hairspray
  • A comb
  • Small, clear rubberbands
  • Colored hair spray paint (optional, can get at Sally's Beauty Supply Store for about $5)
1. Part off a small top section of hair. Pull the rest of your hair back and style into a cute bun.
2. Take the back of your top section, hold it straight up, spray with hairspray, and comb straight down, and re-spray with hairspray. Continue moving forward through the section until all your hair is standing upright.
3. Tie the top with an elastic, to help keep its shape.
4. If you desire, use a temporary colored hairspray and mist your hair with the color.


5. Add a matching shirt and you've become a Troll!
