If you’re a fan of pop art cartoon makeup, you already know how fun and cute it is. It’s also, as our beloved YouTubers show us, pretty easy to do at home. “Pop Art” makeup became super popular in the’50s and ’60s and generally depicted normal people with “cartoon” features, such as over-exaggerated tears. Pop art is still common in comic books and cartoons today, and is often a hit when it comes to comic conventions. It’s also a great choice for Halloween if you’re looking for a costume that is mostly make-up based, as the rest of the outfits tend to be pretty normal.

Check out some of our favorite pop art makeup tutorials below! And remember, you can apply the same basic techniques for pop art to anybody, so feel free to be creative with it!
