This is the best book on makeup available. In full color photos, you are taught - step by step - how to apply Whiteface, Auguste and Hobo makeup. Dozens of color photos at the back of the book, provide a photo gallery of styles and designs to choose from. I HIGHLY recommend this book to any clown who is looking for pointers on their makeup technique!

This is the best book on clowning. My copy is covered with Mehron smudges and baby powder because I still open it up as I am getting ready to get into character.

Very practilcal. Good job of addressing the needs of the beginner AND helping the veteran.

If you are going to apply clown make-up and don't want to look like a lipstick clown in a rainbow afro wig you need to get this book.

Best book on Clown make up out there. This is the one that is used for reference at the clown conferences and class I have gone too, NO OTHER! If you are a clown you need this book, review the steps on face design and application technique so you arent SCARY clown. Covers application and design of white face, auguste and hobo clowns. Has many pictures in the back of clown faces to search through. Also has many different examples of mouths, eyes and eyebrows.

This is the absolute best and most helpful book on clowning that I have found. It's great for the beginning clown with many how to's that more experienced clowns sometime forget to tell you about. I've gone back to it over and over.

An excellent description of the process of applying clown makeup. I've never applied makeup before reading this book. I followed the instruction presented and I feel like I understand the basics of the process and I was very satisfied with my first attempt.

There is an artistry to expression through clown makeup. This book touches on artistry, but I think that it would be far more fulfilling to the reader to expand on a variety of styles of expression for the artist who is trying to develop a unique external expression of self. I hope that a future version of this book will expand on this idea. Despite my wishes, I highly recommend this book for anyone who has no formal training in makeup application.

I am trying to get ready to be a hospital clown. This book helped me understand that clowning makeup is more than just painting your face and putting on silly clothes. Makeup helps you define your clown character. Must have book for anyone interested in clowning.

Package arrived quickly and book as described. Content is helpful and has colorful pages. Wish I could have paid less, but "oh well". I will enjoy using it to teach other students the craft of clown makeup.
