Adding White Makeup for Scary Clown Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to make scary clown makeup for Halloween. Now, take your cylindrical sponge and put on a good dollop of white makeup here. We're going to start applying this to the face. Apply using gentler padding motions. Definitely exert some pressure to make sure this doesn't look like a bunch. You don't want this effect where it looks just a little speckley. Kind of rub a little bit against it to make sure that it's going onto the skin in a nice base layer. What we're going to do is we're going to fill in every single area you have not drawn in, these black shapes, in white. This is going to take some time. Actually, probably this is the biggest step of doing a clown in general. Now, the makeup I'm using is this nice base white paint. You can get this in a lot of area stores, especially after September 15th on almost any given Halloween now days on how early it comes. This is better than come of the white grease paints out there. Why is that? Well, with the white grease paints, which I favor for things like vampires and zombies, you get a little more of a texture organic feel. The white base paint is going to be more of a solid layer of white. It's going to look much more like a mask, a solid mask, on their face as oppose to something which is supposed to be living or decaying, like in the case of a zombie. That's an effect which is more appropriate for a clown. "
