"On behalf of Expert Village this is Paul Anderson from Hollywood, Florida in the ABC circus. Today I'm going to show you about clown makeup. So if you are going to be a clown and put on makeup do you want to use the water base or do you want to use the grease. If you are going to be working in a really hot place I live in south Florida and it does get hot here. In fact I'm sweating right now. Well water base would not work really well cause as I sweated, the water in my sweat would drip and cause my makeup to run. I don't want my makeup to run cause then I look like a runny clown. I use the oil. Now perhaps if you were working on television like this, again the oil might be just fine for you. Now if you work in a very cold climate say like Wisconsin in the middle of the winter, you are not going to sweat a whole lot. You would probably would not be working outside either. So in general, for professional clowns think about grease."
