clown makeup
Jester's painted visage
Clown makeup is the distinctive face paint worn by clowns—typically a white base with exaggerated features in bright colors: oversized red lips, arched eyebrows, a red nose.
The style varies from cheerful circus clowns to sinister versions in horror films.
Figuratively, clown makeup suggests something garish or absurd: That contour job looks like clown makeup.
