- Edwin (the movie “The Massacre at the Clown Camp”) is a completely ordinary guy who wanted to become a clown and amuse kids. But, alas, the study did not succeed, the exams failed, and classmates simply laughed at him. Resentment and anger drove Edwin crazy and pushed to the massacre in the camp.

What you need to make up a clown
For a full-fledged image, a costume and a little imagination are always required. Well, to make an evil clown yourself is not at all difficult. It’s enough to pick up the character you want to be like and transfer his image to yourself. So, what do you need to do the clown makeup:
- A photo or picture of good quality, which fully shows all the nuances of the make-up.
- Suitable colors for your look are makeup, powder, etc.
- Tools for applying paints.
- Combs, fixing means for hairstyles.
On clean skin, apply white makeup. He will serve as a base. In accordance with the photo, apply the base lines (sketches, thin, barely noticeable). If everything worked out, you can do the direct filling of the lines. The main thing is not to rush, otherwise your clown makeup will have to be redone. And this is a waste of time, energy and a spoiled mood.
How to make up
Professional paints can not always be found in the city, but you still want to impress everyone with an unusual make-up? No problem! You can do that greasy theatrical makeup yourself. And for this you need only children's paints (not gouache!) And real pig fat, you can drown it yourself from fat or buy it in cookery. Mix both components well in a transparent container so that you can see how uniform the paint is. Let the resulting mass stand a little, and your theatrical makeup is ready. Another option in a hurry: replace the pork fat with ordinary petroleum jelly or lamp oil. The rest of the algorithm is similar.
Advice
- Apply makeup, gradually increasing layers.
- Remove it using special tools, not soap.
- A good cream must be applied to the skin after makeup.
- Do not use expired products and bad brushes.
- The easiest way to blend transitions in makeup is with your fingers.
- Do not forget to lightly powder your face so that the makeup lasts longer and does not flow.
Well, now fully equipped, choose what image you like! Maybe, after all, a good clown will come in handy even at such a party?
