How to do a Clown Face

Step 1: Cover the face in a white cream makeup (which comes in the clown makeup kit) with a sponge.  Then you should 'set' the makeup with a translucent makeup powder (baby powder works fine if you don't have a translucent powder).  You can use powder puff or a blush brush.  You don't need to use very much, just do a very light dusting.  This will stop the makeup from rubbing off everywhere as this makeup tends to be messy.

Step 2:  The eye makeup can be any colour.  The simplest way to create a clown eye is to create the eyelid in either the shape of a semi circle or a triangle above the top of the eye and then the same pattern underneath.  The makeup on the eyelid should go above the brow.  You can draw in eyebrows on top if you want or just use the eyelid makeup.  You can also use a variety of colours on the eyelids to give it a very fun affect. Set the eyes using the same powder that you used to set the white base (see step 1).

Step 3: The lips are very exaggerated and should go out much farther than the natural lip.  A bright red (provided in the clown makeup kit) works very well.  Usually the lips are very round on both the top and bottom two half moons on top and one on the bottom.  Set the lips in the same manner you set the face and the eyes (see step 1).  For the cheeks you can either do a line from the lips right to the cheek and then do a red round circle on the apple of each cheek, or not attach them and just do a circle on each cheek.  These can be very dramatic.  Set the cheeks as well. 

Step 4: Create a red nose, with the red makeup, although you probably have a red nose to put on.
