This step-by-step guide uses white, blue, red, yellow, pink, and black makeup to create a cheerful clown face. Start with white base around the eyes and nose, then add colorful half-circles over the brows, cheek accents, and a classic clown mouth with extended red lips. Finish with black outlines and small under-eye lines for a playful look.
Directions
- Apply white face paint to the eyes and nose with a sponge and brush, then blend the edges outward to create a soft fade around the face.
- Draw a blue half-circle over one eyebrow using a brush and blue face paint, then blend the blue into the white.
- Repeat with red face paint on the other side, making a half-circle over half of the other eye.
- Fill the remaining brow area and upper eyelid with yellow face paint, blending softly.
- With a black eyeliner pencil, draw a half-circle above the natural eyebrow and then a line along the brow shape.
- Dip a craft brush in red paint and dab three small circles on one cheek.
- On the other cheek, paint a large pink circle.
- Outline the lips with red lip liner just outside the natural lip line, fill in, then extend the corners outward and add small circles at the ends.
- Trace the entire lip outline with black liquid eyeliner.
- Finish by drawing short lines just under the lower eyelids.
