Although the Black Swan movie has been out for several years now, this [Black Swan makeup tutorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers) from Kandee Johnson is a great one to attempt on your own for [Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wet-n-wild-beauty-x-disney), especially since it is so unmistakable for anything else.

Although Natalie Portman may have spent hours with a makeup artist to perfect this look each day for filming, in this tutorial, [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spades-plus) beauty guru Kandee Johnson helps to break down the essential components of the look piece by piece. Naturally, it involves a pale face and those dark dramatic eyes, plus a set of creepy contacts if you really want the look to be worthy of the big screen. The look is topped off by a crown and a wig, which will get you pirouetting to a costume party in no time.
