How to Put on Clown Makeup

Take out the print of a clown face you want to paint yourself or some one else. Having a visual aid will help you through the process. Before you start, wash the face with soap and water to clean off any contaminants. Pat the face dry with a towel. Wrap a cloth around the neck and shoulders to avoid being painted over with the make up.

The first step for any clown makeup is the base. Usually clown faces have a white base. You can also have a skin colored base. Use your fingers to apply the base to your face and spread it all over, smoothly.

Use a black pencil to make the eyebrows arched. One of the important features of a clown are his rosy cheeks. Use appropriate colors from the clown makeup to make the cheeks. Paint the cheeks in a round shape. Enhance the lips and the nose tip with the right colors. You can use cotton swabs and paint brushes for applying the details. Coat with a thin layer of baby powder to set the make up firmly and stay neat.
