TRICKS FOR PERFECT CLOWN MAKEUP
Before doing the makeup, you must prepare the child’s skin in the same way that you should do when you put on your makeup. Use a moisturizer so makeup can be easily removed and won’t harm your child’s skin.
When you go shopping for face makeup, make sure it’s water-based . This way, it will be much easier to remove once the party is over. You will only need water so that the makeup comes off the child’s skin, without damaging it.
By removing makeup, it re- hydrates the skin to keep it fresh and regain its layer of water.
If you want your makeup to last for a long time, you can use loose makeup powder to seal in your face makeup . Being water-based, this type of product is very shiny and sweat tends to disappear soon. With a very thick brush, apply a light layer of loose powder so that the makeup stays on for much longer.
When you go to apply makeup, it may be very hard in consistency and difficult to apply. You can heat it for a few seconds in the microwave , 4 or 5 seconds will be enough. Thus, it will be softened and will be much easier to use
