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

  1. Begin by cleansing your face thoroughly to remove any dirt or oils.
  2. Prepare your white face paint by blending it with a little water until smooth.
  3. Apply the white mixture evenly over your entire face, making sure to cover all areas.
  4. Use a powder puff to lightly dust setting powder over your face, concentrating on the forehead, nose, and chin.
  5. For the eyebrows, coat them with a water-soluble crayon, then apply mascara to define the hairs.
  6. Use the Caran D'Ache palette to create eyeliner and eyeshadow, then attach false lashes.
  7. Outline and fill in your lips with a red liner, then add black lipstick to the inner part and blend outward.
  8. Add decorative elements like hearts, triangles, freckles, dots, or teardrops using a black eyeliner pencil.
  9. 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.
