I need help. I try to do clown makeup, i'll apply the paint,t ehn power it to dry, but when i try to use my face paint crayons, it doesnt even smear, it just breaks and wipes the white away. Also, when i do, the white is ratehr blotchy and uneven. How many coats should i use? also, which is better? cream or grease? all i can get is the stuff at walmart for halloween.

[Frizzurd]

Well designed clown, if you put her body in silhouette form it would stand out real well.

[domnuvaly]

Marilyn..... Great info on this Ruffles The Clown & white face makup application. Is this Ruffles the same as Estelle Ray whom was the first real Ruffles The Clown ? She was from Wilkerton, IN but I can't find any info on her or history. Any info on Estelle would be great or from any viewer whom might know the answer to my question. Just post here any info. Maybe Estelle has passed or maybe still alive. I have no further info on her... Thanks so much ! Alan

[mrbaird]

@Alank222 Hi Alan, Glad you liked the vid. And, no, this is not Estelle Ray. I am not sure who Estelle is as we are in Texas. Good luck to you in your search for Estelle.

I am an Auguste Clown. Just started in February. Ive done probably 40 events now and its amazing. But i was using "Jim Howell" makeup and it isn't working out. After i powder and am ready to wash my face...My skin comes through the makeup? Not cool. But there's a shop in Ohio im going to and they have Mehron brand clown makeup. What's your opinion on Mehron Makeup. They also have Ben Nye which is what you use in this video... What do you recommend?

[ducky811]

@polingjwj Hi there. I know you didn't ask me, but I read your comment and thought I give an input. I have used Mehron as well as Ben Nye. I have had great results with both. You can't go wrong with either brand. I like Ben Nye mostly because I like their products best. They have the best clown white and powders in my opinon. I hope I have been of some help. PLEASE get back to me. I love meeting other clowns. Thanks and good luck.

[ducky811]

Thank you for this video. I used to clown with a big clown group in Jacksonville, Florida. I really enjoyed doing it, and would LOVE to get back into clowning. My character...Tittle E. Winks...is also a white face clown. Thank you again and best wishes.

[jincogal22]

good to see this done rather than reading about it

[SojaKevin]

How was the white powder you used, called?

[ducky811]

Hi Ruffles. I enjoyed your video here. I do clowning occasionally myself as a whiteface clown. I would love to interact with you if you are still active in clowning.

[rynpaladino]

[Gungemaster109]

nice makeup, but no offense, but you look a little freaky in full costume.

you mention competitions, could you show us a vid of you prepping 4 one?

[angelinaramon]

Awesome clown!!!

[mrbaird]

Thanks a bunch!

[eap7mm]

Thank you! I really needed to know how to get that flawless white face for Halloween! You are a beautiful clown. Makeup and outfit is so cute.

[mrbaird]

Glad you liked it. I'll let Ruffles know about your comment. She'll love it.

Hope that Halloween went well.

[zunidoll2]

Nice video. I dress as a member of the rock band KISS and I use the same technique to apply my makeup. I have a couple of questions. Eventhough I use a translucent powder for the colored makeup I still get that "toned down" look and wanted to know if you have any suggestions as how to prevent this. I have used a damp sponge to remove the excess powder but it does not really remove all of the excess. I then paint over the colors with Mehron liquid

makeup to enrich the color.

[mrbaird]

Thanks so much!  I checked with Ruffles and she says that powder does give you that matte look. There's not much that you can do about that.

[oukamichan]

thanks for posting! this was very cute! :D

Thanks Ruffles... I've been clowning for several years as a light auguste clown "Razzle-Dazzle"... but here lately I've been interested in trying a Whiteface (Lewie Delightful) and Tramp (B.A. Rascal) looks. I found your tutorial very informative. Bump a Nose

Hello Marilyn, This was very educational on how a person dresses up like a clown. I learnt a lot from this great!! Clip!!Ruffles explained it well!!Nice Directing on your behalf Marilyn 5 Stars ***** From Marc Jones Vocalist...Los Angeles.

[mrbaird]

Hi Marc, Thanks so much for viewing and commenting & rating my film. I'll let Ruffles know as well.

Marilyn

[EmCSpiteri]

I liked it when you were doing the lip stick. You could also talk without moving your lips.

[mrbaird]

well, Thank you. The lip stick scene was the result of my editing. I don't believe that Ruffles can talk without moving her lips but I'll ask her.

[CurvyRay]

Great Video!

[restew]

Great video! Thanks for the tip about the greasepaint stick- I'm a street performer and that will really help my harlequin face to pop a bit more.

[dittouto1]

i loved your video. i have been looking so long for someone that knows what their doing when it comes to clown make-up. thank you for caring enough to show your talent with the public.

[codes711]

I am a Clown as well and have been on many TV Shows. I also Have my own TV show called "Foe The Clowns Learning Show". I also have DVD's for sale. I'm only 13 years old and im still number one in Massachusetts. Reply Please:)

[goofyforu]

Excellent job!!

By any chance do you do an Auguste face and Tramp face ?? Love to see you do both.

[mrbaird]

I'll check with Ruffles/Janie Kay and see what if she is familiar with those faces.

Thanks for commenting.

Marilyn

[YaYaJuke]

this could be dangerous information in the wrong hands.... like mine.... i might try this at home and who knows what will happen. hopefully not devorce. awesome job!

[mrbaird]

Thank you. Janie Kay does an awesome job. When you do try this, please post it. I would love to see it.

Marilyn

[YaYaJuke]

i think finding the clean dry tube sock might be one of the problems i run into. YIPES!

[iLikeCandy2]

i don't really know how i came across this video, but you're very talented with makeup. have you ever considered doing makeup for theater?

[ZZMann33]

I dont know why I wantched that, but I did find it interesting. Good Luck and I hope you dont scare any kids along the way.

[paintyourface]

is there a chance you could do other clown face tutorials. you are very good and explain everything so more videos on face painting would be nice. thanks

[Featureman]

Marilyn

[singingguitarist]

wow!!! I was part of a unit study on clowns one time... but I was only 5 at the time... (I'm almost 21 now) and I met 2 clowns and they explained their make up... but she did a WONDERFUL job!!! She went more into why they wear things the way they do. Please give her a pat on the back! :) It was like taking a walk down memory lane! :) Thanks!

[mrbaird]

Thank you for your comment. I'll make sure that Ruffles/Janie Kay sees your comment. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it.

[stevieclown2000]

BEAUTIFUL!!!! what a great pesonality. I love your clown. I do clowning myself, but have no camera that I could do what you've done here. I love that you explain why you do your face the way you do it.

I can tell you have the true heart of a clown.

[mrbaird]

Thank you for the comment. I'll defiitely see that Ruffles gets your message. She is a wonderful teacher, clown and one of my dearest and oldest friends. Marilyn
