Step One:ย Apply liquid eyeliner and mascara. Then apply clown white paint to your face and neck with a sponge (mine is from Kryolan), starting at the top of forehead and working down to the collarbone โ including over your eyebrows. (If you have or can find white powder at your Halloween store to help set the paint, all the better!)

Step Two:ย Paint a circle around your whole eyelid with black paint, then use black eyeshadow to fill in your under-eye (I used Kryolan again for the paint).

Step Four:ย To make scarsย I used 3rd Degree, which is great for molding and sculpting scars and wounds. If you donโt have 3rd Degree, you can use latex and tissue as a substitute โย your nearby Halloween store should haveย bottles of latexย orย latex kits.

Step Five:ย Apply fake blood along the scars. I usedย Fleet Streetย โ it has a great thick consistency.
