27 Pretty and Cute Clown Halloween Makeup Looks
Pretty Clown Halloween Makeup Is Trending on Pinterest — Here are 25+ Looks to Get Inspired
Clowns are creepy. That's a fact. It's why IT and the character of Pennywise was such a success (and ultimately, why the movie got a sequel), and why there's always at least one crying child when a clown shows up at a birthday party. But here's some news that might surprise you: clown makeup is trending. And not just any clown makeup, cute and pretty clown makeup. Searches on Pinterest for "cute clown makeup" have gone up 370 percent, and searches for for "pretty clown makeup" have gone up 280 percent, and while we have to say that we're a bit confused (and slightly terrified), we're also intrigued because as you'll see in a second, some of these looks really truly mesmerising.
Makeup artists on Instagram have done the near-impossible and made clown makeup both pretty and playful, all while maintaining the recognisable sinister jolliness. And they've managed to interpret the traditional clown makeup in a wide variety of ways: Some have used shadowing and pop-art-style techniques to create a cartoon-like character. Others have played around with 3D crystals and paler colour palettes to make their clown makeup look sweet and innocent. Then there's a select few that have found ways to tweak classic silver smoky eyes and red lipstick into something we never thought possible: a supersexy clown Halloween costume.
So if you're ready to give clowns another go, you've come to the right place. We did the digging for you and sifted through the incredibly creepy clown makeup looks out there and sought out the cuter, prettier look on Instagram — no Pennywise in sight. Your friends can be rest assured that you don't scare the sh*t out of them (or yourself in the mirror) this Halloween.
