The Season of the Clown

Spring Showers, Spring Flowers and Spring Clowns all are signs of the season of rebirth. The Clown has been a fixture since antiquity. From the Greek Tragicomedies to Shakespeare, the Court Jester, the Mime, and the Circus Clowns, the Clown has been a fixture throughout civilization. The Clown presents social commentary, makes fun of life's situations and has been making people smile for centuries.

After a long cold winter, Spring Festivals, Fairs, Carnivals and Community Events welcome the spring season with Cotton Candy, Carmel Apples and The Clowns. Clowns come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, and costumes, the common thread being their ability to leave a trail of laughter. As the function of the Clown has changed throughout the years so too did the costuming and look of the clown. The Court Jester relied on a colorful costume to distinguish himself in the King's Court. Throughout the evolution of the Clown, Makeup became an important part of the Clown's appearance.

The Clown began wearing Makeup to represent not to hide his identity but rather to represent everyone's identity. The White Face Clown begins with White Face Clown Makeup to neutralize himself, so that he represents everyman. Various Clown incarnations have been developed throughout the years, there is the Hobo Clown, The Everyman Clown, the Zany Clown, and the Lonely Clown, all of whom count on quality Makeup to effectively play their role.
