The face make up is very important. So, white face paint should be dabbed all over the face including the eyebrows, necks and eyes. A round red ball can be added to the tip of the nose. Red lipstick can be applied on the lips with black liners. Dark pink circles on the cheek and other colored face paint on the eyes and eyebrows makes the perfect clown.
