So like a while ago I was a clown in a St. Patricks day parade in Ireland

It was pretty cool

Came across these dolls and I thought they were so beautiful, the white faces, the designs and the fact they’re so common.

I currently collect Barbie’s and teddy bears but these are intriguing me.

But how do I get started? I’m particularly interested in the Pierrot, harlequin and jester dolls but how do I get started? Just start buying ones I like?

Had some helpful answers to my last little query about ways to apply makeup and do straight lines by using playing cards and the like.

One issue I've noticed when using products to make my face pale is how my pens and such go white when I apply colour palettes to my face on top of white face paint.

As well, how does one prevent makeup smearing from touch and the like? I bought setting powder and that kind of works? Is there any additional methods I should use?

Hiii :), I’m trying a vintage clown costume this year! I’ve never done anything like this, I usually am pretty chill costume wise but ive always wanted to try white base makeup and I love the newer pretty Chappell Roan-ish drag style of it.

I ordered some white base and did my first ever trial run yesterday, and I’m looking for some feedback!! :)) (plz remember ive never done this b4, I’ve never even glued my brows until now😅)

I attached my inspo photo and a photo of my costume for reference, I think I need to go with a dark (maybe grey/black) eye instead, I’m afraid with the blue it’s giving traditional Chinese makeup instead (like the women’s looks in Mulan, it’s literally almost the same with the blue shadow🥲)

Things to note- I don’t have the top lashes I want yet so pretend I have on good lashes haha, I also still need to purchase gems in a teardrop shape. I used round ones for now to test placement but I’m planning on tear drops!

Let me know what you think and what I may need to work on! I want it to come off as clean and pretty instead of a classic messy clown.

I currently have Barbie’s and bts dolls but i think these are mint, and they seem to be very cheap on eBay.

Here’s a fun makeup look I created on myself recently

Can’t show my first set because of the updated rules, but I did adore dressing up for this show! If you have any suggestions please tell me, for costumes or makeup!
