Learn Some 'Mad Max' Cosplay Tips Before You See 'Fury Road' Again

Mad Max: Fury Road is the best-looking movie of the year — so why not get in on that action? In the two weeks since the post-apocalyptic action saga opened in theaters, artists and cosplayers have been furiously re-creating the film’s most memorable character looks. If you’re curious how to transform yourself into fearless leader Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), “war boy” Nux (Nicholas Hoult), or ruthless villain Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), check out these helpful make-up tutorials from YouTube.

Makeup artist and body painter Madeyewlook shows viewers how to create a jaw-dropping (no pun intended) Immortan Joe mask using only makeup.

To get Imperator Furiosa’s look, just heed these three little words: Paint it black. Marilyn Muerta’s technique, above, is flawless. (Head shaving optional.)

For Immortan Joe wannabes who require accessories, makeup artist SmashinBeauty shows how to construct a mask from cheap materials like a hardware store respirator and press-on nails.

Let’s not leave Nux behind! Here’s a well-researched tutorial from SFX artist Kiana Jones, aka Freakmo, including DIY chapped lips and an elaborate chest scar.
