You might want to shrug off the idea of clown makeup when you first hear it. After all, clowns aren\u2019t associated with being sexy, right? But allow me to try and convince you otherwise. Clowns can be cute, and they sure as hell can be sexy. Just think about Harley Quinn or Heath Ledger\u2019s Joker (or is that just me?) Clowns also allow for a lot of creativity and experimentation when it comes to makeup – you can use glitter, fake lashes, and tons of bright colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clown makeup can be scary as well. In fact, it\u2019s curious how the cute clown became such a popular horror trope. The clown dates all the way back to ancient Greek times. Of course, back then, it wasn\u2019t called a \u2019clown\u2019 just yet. Instead, this character was referred to as the \u2019rustic fool,\u2019 whose primary role was to tell rude jokes and mock the wealthy part of the audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another famous clown from the past is the harlequin. This brightly-dressed dexterous jester was there to amuse royalty and sometimes appeared in theatre shows, where they wore colorful masks and assumed the role of tricksters. In the middle of the 19th century, jesters and harlequins evolved to be fun and ditched their mischievous side. Their positive reputation had a lot to do with their primary target audience – children. A couple of decades later, circus clowns became hugely popular, and as humor evolved, they performed mainly for children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science has a very simple explanation behind why we are afraid of clowns. You have probably heard people refer to certain things as \u2019uncanny valley.\u2019 Our brains are actually so advanced, they can spot irregularities almost subconsciously. So when we see a clown\u2019s face, we instantly spot the exaggerated features, and think \u201csomething\u2019s off there.\u201d For some, these features seem silly, but for others, they can be horrifying. Mix that with the clown\u2019s trickster reputation and a few scary pop culture t\u0430kes on them, and you\u2019ll begin to understand why they are so frightening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And don\u2019t forget \u2013 your setting can be just as spooky as your costume. For a hauntingly perfect backdrop, consider decorating with Halloween window stickers by Stickers4.com<\/a><\/strong>.

The Most Famous Clowns & Their Signature Makeup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

IT\u2019s signature clown has a simple and horrifying makeup look that you can easily replicate. Stephen King\u2019s Pennywise from the 2017 film \u201cIT\u201d has some of the most original evil clown makeup. The two vertical red lines, the white face, and the sickly-yellow eye lens are signature elements from the look, which you can imitate or include in your clown\u2019s Halloween makeup. Don\u2019t forget to grab a red balloon to complete the look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another scary clown gone psycho is the Joker. Here you have a variation of options. You can go for Heath Ledger\u2019s Joker and go crazy messy. Use three simple colors – white, red, and black and make sure everything is smudged as best as possible. Don\u2019t go for a perfect look. You can also choose Joaquin Phoenix\u2019s Joker and add some diamond shapes around your eyes. It wouldn't be a finished Joker look without the green hair! Grab yourself some hair spray and go wild!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krusty the Clown<\/h3>\n\n\n

Krusty The Clown from the famous TV show The Simpsons doesn\u2019t have many stand-alone features to replicate the look easily, mainly because he is an animated character. You can find a nice bowtie if you\u2019re looking for a cute accessory, though! Of course, if you're trying to find a gruesome and scary addition to your outfit, the bald head and blue hair on either side will contribute nicely to your creepy Halloween clown makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
