Today the class had the opportunity to experience the difficulty of having to paint one's own face with clown makeup. Applying the white coat first was easy for me, and the only issue I had was the left and right sides of my makeup were not symmetrical. The powder was a little more difficult to apply because I smudged some of the makeup with the cotton pad. I spilled some of the powder used to dry the makeup on the desk and my towel, leaving a good portion of it white. The true difficulty began with outlining the area to apply the black makeup on my face. I kept bleeding into my white makeup while drawing the line, which ended with numerous inconsistencies with my line work around the jawline. I completely dirtied my fingers when filling in the area with black makeup, and bled into the white makeup again when I was filling the spaces near the white makeup with a brush. The worst part was getting the makeup off, as I completely neglected the towel in the beginning and left my hands completely gray. In the end, I spent a good ten minutes removing the remainder of the makeup from my face, cleaning my hands and nails, and cleaning the paint off the bathroom sinks. I am extremely worried to repeat this process again on Wednesday, but this time I will make sure to use the towel first!
