Wild tangles of matted black hair framing a wicked grin characterize Scar, the villain in “The Lion King” who simultaneously murders and charms the lions of Pride Rock.

“I most remember his eyes, the way they glowed yellow green,” junior Emily Pierce said. “It was eerie.”

Scar, crafted by Andreas Deja, was characterized by sleek elegance in place of the bulky and static movements of the other lions featured in “The Lion King”.

To recreate Scar’s appearance at home this Halloween, first transform your face into one of sharp angels and smooth slopes, accompanied by the infamous scar running from above one eyebrow to the top of one cheekbone.

To begin, using a plain black eye or lip liner, gel or pencil will work, draw a curved line from the corners of the nose down, meeting at the corners of the mouth and continuing down to either side of the chin. Color this area in a warm toned yellow using either another eyeliner, eye shadow or face paint. Section off a triangular shape around the eyes, beginning from the inner corners of the eyes and drawing a sloped line up to the outer end of the eyebrows, then down to meet the outer corner of the eye.

Fill this sectioned off area with a darkened purple, a matte shade would be most accurate, but some glitter can be added for a fun, playful effect. The rest of the face should be darkened using a honey brown shade of foundation, and then contoured for a cat-like appearance. To contour, a dark brown powder can be taken and blended under the cheekbones, along the jaw, along the nose and hairline.
