Halloween clown makeup that isn’t Pennywise
Ginger Parrot is ready and raring to report on all…
WARNING: For those of you who have an extreme fear of clowns, exit this page immediately.
In our opinion, clowns are one of the scariest characters to ever appear on the streets during Halloween. Like come on, who enjoys encountering a killer clown that poses as a child’s entertainer!?
The only thing that doesn’t scare me about clowns, is their ginger hair!
Clowns are often depicted with having red hair, which is often styled into a curly afro-like shape or designed to have triangular tufts of hair shooting out of each side.
Circus Clown:
Circus clowns are freaky because of their make-up. Being entertaining characters, clowns use the subtle, yet classic, makeup look to attract children.
Comedy Tragedy Clown
Tragicomedy is a genre of drama that merges, yep you guessed it, comedic and tragic storylines.
The Comedy and Tragic masks of theatre are famous and well-known on a global scale, with one of the masks depicting a laughing face and the other showing a painful expression.
As you can imagine, having a different expression on each side of your face can be extremely scary!
1. Using a thin line of black face paint, or eyeliner, draw the outline of a mask onto your face. NOTE: The outline of your mask should be smaller than your face.
2. Using the black face paint or eyeliner, draw a line down the middle of the mask – connecting the middle of your forehead, your nose, and your chin.
3. Cover one side of your face in white paint – this will be the tragic side.
4. Using red/black lipstick or face paint, over line your lips and make sure that the happy side of your smile is pointing up, and the other (on the side painted white) is pointing down.
5. With black face paint/eyeliner, draw on your eyebrows. Just like your smile, the tragic eyebrow should be a diagonal shape, slanting down to your cheek. The other, happy, eyebrow should be an arched shape!
6. Add some teardrops, using black face paint or eyeliner, to the sad side of your face.
7. On the comedic side of your face, draw on some eye creases and dimples to create an effortless and joyful look!
