      Outline the lip area. You want the mouth to stand out, so that people can see your funny faces from across the room. Using a small makeup brush, begin by drawing a circle or oval around the mouth area. You don't want to over-exaggerate the mouth area, so simply go a little bit outside the lip area, keeping it within the confines of your beard stubble if you have that already painted in.

      Accentuate the eye area with white to make the eyes stand out. There are a couple different ways to do this. You can apply white grease paint to the entire eyelid, adding a bit of gray to dull down the color, or you can add white lines at the crease of the eye and on the top of your lash line. When you open and close your eyes or move your eyebrows, the white will draw attention to your features.

      Add the fleshtone makeup to the look. If you want the white to appear slightly more subtle, you can blend the white into the tan makeup for a softer look, though some prefer the stark white outlines and apply the tan around them.
