What types of makeup do clowns use?
There are several different types of makeup, there is the water-based face paint and Halloween makeup (best used for face painting and Halloween as this washes off easily too easily). Cream based makeup used for some theatrical uses, this is a smooth makeup based on cold cream, some clowns use it, but again it washes off easily and can be sweated off. The choice of most clowns is to use greasepaint.
