This tutorial walks you through nine easy steps to achieve a classic clown look. Starting with a clean face, you'll apply a white base, set it with powder, then add bold eyebrows, eye makeup, and red-and-black lips. Finish with whimsical doodles like hearts or dots for that playful finishing touch.
Directions
- Begin by cleansing your face thoroughly to remove any dirt or oils.
- Prepare your white face paint by blending it with a little water until smooth.
- Apply the white mixture evenly over your entire face, making sure to cover all areas.
- Use a powder puff to lightly dust setting powder over your face, concentrating on the forehead, nose, and chin.
- For the eyebrows, coat them with a water-soluble crayon, then apply mascara to define the hairs.
- Use the Caran D'Ache palette to create eyeliner and eyeshadow, then attach false lashes.
- Outline and fill in your lips with a red liner, then add black lipstick to the inner part and blend outward.
- Add decorative elements like hearts, triangles, freckles, dots, or teardrops using a black eyeliner pencil.
- If you haven't already, gently press setting powder over your entire face with a puff, being careful not to overdo it around the eyes.
