Hear Me Out: These Clown Makeup Ideas Are Surprisingly Cute for Halloween
K, I know it doesn’t sound like the ~sexiest~ idea for Halloween, but trust me when I say clown makeup is actually super cute. Hear me out: Clowns don’t have to equal blood, gore, or creepy face paint—you can actually get super creative with bright eyeshadows, fluffy eyelashes, and tons of glitter. The best part? It’s a v customizable look, whether you want something bold and OTT (like this artistic option) or lowkey and subtle (like this quick and easy idea). So to get you on my level, I rounded up the 35 best clown makeup ideas, all of which are guaranteed to kill it this Halloween.
How do you do cute clown makeup?
All you really need to pull off a recognizable clown makeup look are the basic features: points above and below the brows, dramatic lips, and a dot on the tip of the nose. There are roughly a million different interpretations of clown makeup (see: Krusty the Clown vs. Pennywise) that incorporate one or all of those elements, but to make your version extra cute, swap out the fake blood with glitter and throw in some pretty Halloween eye makeup. Now that you've got that covered, the next step is figuring out what kind of cute clown you want to channel this year, because like I said, you've got a million options. Right this way...
