Happy Halloween, boils and ghouls!
Hope you're all having a wonderful holiday, make sure you eat lots of candy and watch a lot of scary movies. At least, that's what I'll be doing.
In honor of my favorite day of the year, I created this clown look inspired by my old pal Twisty the clown (American Horror Story fans stand up!)
This was all things I had in my collection already.
The white, black and red face paint were cream products that I bought from Party City a couple years back.
Process:
Apply a white base around the face, not going too close to the edge to create a mask-like appearance.
Build up to desired intensity and then set with a powder (baby powder works).
Use black eye shadow and using a brush (or whatever you have handy) create the shape you want around your eyes. Be creative!
Use the black cream to color the shape in and then set with the black eye shadow.
Use red to create a noes and apply to your lips to create that signature clown smile.
The wounds:
This is totally optional but if you want to create wounds along side your mouth (or anywhere else) just follow these steps:
Apply a layer of liquid latex in the area you want the wound (I found mine at Party City.)
Tear strips of tissue paper (no straight edges- the more jagged the better) and place on top of the latex. Apply another layer of latex on top of the paper.
Let it dry. Once dry set it with powder to prevent it from sticking to itself.
Use tweezers to pick open parts of the tissue to create an open wound.
Paint the inside of the tears with black and red to give the appearance of a deep wound.
Add blood and voila!
If you recreate this look send me pics! I'd love to see it.
Stay spooky,
