Collection: Clown Makeup

The traditional clown makeup look featuring a painted white face was first introduced in 1801, then over time clowns began to use bold colours to paint shapes on their face to accentuate facial features and expressions. Ironically, it’s these shapes that made clowns so controversial, as our brain reads the face of a clown the oversized lips and eyebrows distort the face so that our brain can only perceive it as slightly human! There are many different clown makeup looks you could use as inspiration to help complete your costume, and with all the products at your disposal it can be tricky to know where to start.
