Handy Tips For Good Clown Makeup Application

• ESTABLISH a makeup area in your home where you apply your makeup.
• CAP or CONTAIN your hair with a headband or hair gel to keep it off your face and under your wig.
• APPLY makeup starting with the lightest color and ending with the darkest color. Darker colors will cover lighter colors and outlining will bring colors together for a crisp, sharp look. Work from top to bottom (eyes to mouth) to avoid smearing lines.
• UPPER LIP application has white or Auguste base, NEVER red or black (except for "specialty" mouth types such as Betty Boop or heart-kissie mouth). This is because your upper lip isn't involved in smiling, and you'll wind up having a scary "watermelon" mouth.
• LOWER LIP application is red or black.
• POWDERING: Always close your eves and exhale when powdering. Fold powder sock together and/or turn it between pats on your face to avoid the transfer of colors.
• ALWAYS FOLLOW THE "THREE P'S"
  
  PAT - Your makeup to smooth out streaks and even makeup application.
  POWDER - To set makeup and give it a velvet look.
  PRACTICE - To make you LOOK like the clown you FEEL like.
• TAKE CARE of your makeup.
  
  Keep out of heat or extreme cold.
  Use a different brush for each color.
  Do not share your makeup to avoid contamination.
  Keep makeup containers closed between applications and during powdering.
