Thread: Clown Make-Up

What's the difference between Cream make-up & Grease make-up? I was at the Party City & noticed they had both & didn't know which to buy. Which is better?

White Grease Makeup - Makeup - Costumes & Accessories - Party City
White Cream Makeup - Makeup - Costumes & Accessories - Party City


Does there make-up work well or should I get something else from somewhere else? I plan on wearing it for about 6-8 hours.

Thanks!!!

Avoid Grease at all costs - it smears, never gives an even, opaque coat unless it's ladled on, and it will mess up your skin after a while. Funny thing about grease paint, it always looks like grease paint.

Cream makeup can be blended into the skin, blended with other creams, it can give strong clean lines and good coverage, it's easily cleaned off, and it sets with powder like any decent makeup. If you powder cream makeup, brush off the excess powder and rub your face, it barely comes off. Grease always smears.
Now some creams are better than others, and I prefer the high-end stuff, but even the cheap creams are miles better than grease.

What do you mean when you say "powder cream make-up"?

I mean that you will need to powder the makeup once it's on your face, i.e., apply powder to your face with a puff and brush off the excess with a brush.

If you've never done this before, flag down any woman you trust and ask her to show you.

Apply the cream make up then gently pad over it with fine setting powder with a large powder puff to powder down the cream make up.

I read somewhere that some people just use baby powder for setting the make-up. Will that work?

Baby powder should be fine

So I put it on after I have applied all the colors or after the white only?

I'd put it on after the white, put on the colours.. then use a soft make up brush to dust a small amount over the colours... try experimenting before Halloween to see which way will give the best results

Thanks for the help!
