Find Everything You Need at Goodwill
Here’s a list of items you’ll need for this DIY Halloween costume. Be sure to contact your local store to make sure they have what you need. Or, use this list as a go-by for inspiration and truly make it your own!
A white base kit (around $2.49)
The Killer Clown Kit, which includes a three-color wheel of makeup, a nose, teeth, a tube of white paint, and a tube of fake blood (all around $3.99)
The Twisted Clown Wig (for around $11.99. You can buy a wig cap with us as well if you don’t have one!)
Read below for the full details of how to put together your creepy clown costume with just a couple of make-up application steps and scary wig styling.
Step 1: Base Face Makeup
Start by covering your face with the white base. It’s water-activated so get the sponge wet and mix it into the pan until the powder turns to paint. Too much water and the makeup will run, too little and it won’t stick to your face.
Apply a few layers to each area before it dries to get the smoothest finish. Take plenty of time to make sure everything is smooth and even.
Step 2:Makeup for Your Eyes and Mouth
Next, take the three cream color wheel from the Killer Clown Kit. Start with the red shade and use a small fluffy make-up brush to apply it. Tap the brush into the cream and then tap the color on your face. Make sure you don’t get the red cream too close to your eye because the red color can be irritating.
Once the eyes are done, move on to the mouth. You can extend the corners of your lips, or paint on a frown or a spooky smile. Don’t forget to paint on your red clown nose! Once you are done with the red paint, use black for the inside of your lips.
For the last make-up step, you’ll add a little fake blood. Use a brush to dot some fake blood around the edges of your mouth.
Step 3:Wig and Final Touches
To top off your DIY creepy clown costume, put on a wig cap (optional), then put on the Twisted Clown Wig. To style it, use a widetooth comb to puff it out and achieve the desired volume.
The final step is inserting the fake teeth from the Killer Clown Kit. Now you’re ready to scare the entire neighborhood!
