FANTASTIC!...has the best-looking clowns in the world in it. -- World Clown Association


Product Description

It takes know-how to create a professional looking clown face. Contrary to popular belief a proper clown face is not worn as a mask. It should be designed to compliment the natural features in the face in order to enhance the clown's expressions.

In this book Jim Roberts, a.k.a. Strutter the Clown, describes the different types of clown faces and how you can design a unique face of your own. He provides detailed step-by-step directions for applying makeup to create the three basic clown face types: Whiteface, Auguste, and Tramp.

Included are tips on powdering, applying rubber and putty noses, how to handle eyeglasses, handling common makeup problems, and proper makeup selection and removal.

Includes full-color, close-up photos which offer step-by-step directions for applying makeup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strutter's Complete Guide to Clown Makeup, April 14, 2000
By Geoff Turner (Albany, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Strutter's Complete Guide to Clown Makeup (Hardcover)
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a serious clown....er...that doesn't sound right, November 3, 2002
This review is from: Strutter's Complete Guide to Clown Makeup (Hardcover)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "THE" Clown Make up Text Book!!!, January 3, 2007
By charlie schenck (denton, tx USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

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. Read more
