- My whole face is itchy as (beep).
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Justine, I'm a professional makeup artist.
- And I'm Sara and I would consider myself an artist,
an artistic individual.
I don't wear a ton of makeup,
but I know how to do like basic makeup,
and I really like doing makeup for Halloween.
I like doing it, but I wouldn't say I'm good at it.
- I usually do beauty makeup.
That's what I'm doing every day.
I did a little bit of Halloween makeup this year,
on myself, 'cause I didn't have a costume.
So, I have experience, but this definitely isn't,
necessarily, my forte.
- You're really good at making people
look beautiful and ethereal.
And I'll just be like, I can make you look like a spider.
(Justine laughs)
Today, this is a really popular topic I've seen a lot.
We are going to try to be creepy clowns.
Are you afraid of clowns?
- I am not.
- Me neither.
- People are very scared of clowns.
- They are, I don't get it.
What do you think you're gonna do?
- I think I'm gonna do, not like scary,
just kind of a emo clown.
Like, I'm edgy.
(both laughing)
- I listen to Panic at the Disco,
but I'm also a clown. - Exactly.
Yes.
What about you?
- I think I'm gonna try to make it a little creepy.
But I'm a little--
It's something I've never done before,
so I'm a little nervous.
- It's gonna be fun.
- Okay.
- It's like doodling on your face.
- Okay.
(hip hop instrumental music)
I don't know what to do first, but whatever, I'll just try.
- Start with the white.
- Okay, I'll start with the white.
A little fairy told me,
(Justine laughs)
that I should start with the white.
Oh my god, it's so intense.
I'm gonna look like a little Pinocchio baby.
I look like I'm covered in whipped cream.
(Justine laughs)
How come yours looks so much nicer?
- 'Cause I'm stippling it on in layers with a fluffy brush.
The Beauty Blender might help.
- Okay.
It actually doesn't feel bad at all.
It actually just feels like nothing is on me, which is nice.
This is pretty high-quality.
I'm imagining that this is what your high-class clowns use.
- Wouldn't it be weird to have to do this before work?
- Like if you were a clown?
- Yeah.
- Well I feel like you'd have fun,
'cause you'd be like "I'm about to provide joy."
(Justine laughs)
So you'd be like, "yay, this is my joy face."
You look like a dead body.
- I know, I really do.
It's so weird how blue it is.
- I think that's good.
Okay, I'm gonna give myself extra eyeballs.
(hip hop instrumental music)
I feel cool; I feel like I'm about to be cool.
Whoa, you look scary.
And you only have your eyebrows done.
(hip hop instrumental music)
My first step was to paint my face white.
I knew I wanted to have extra eyes.
So I put a bunch on the side of my face.
Coulda gone better.
And then the rest just kinda came naturally.
I didn't really plan it out.
And then, you know, at the very end,
I thought, why not sort of look like a ventriloquist dummy?
- So my process was putting on the white first.
I put a little bit thinner of a layer,
because I've worked with this stuff before,
and I know how having more on
will actually make your life worse.
I like though, that yours was a little different,
because you're an artist.
You went at it with a completely different angle.
And I'm a makeup artist and I'm like "eyes, nose, lips."
Like that's how I think.
And you were just like "blank canvas."
- Yeah, I was like "eyes."
- All over the face (laughs).
- All over the face.
It's hard to do scary, is what I learned.
Part of you still always wants to look cute,
so you're like--
it's hard to let yourself be ugly and scary.
I think it's all in the acting, too.
Like, we could act scary.
(creepy music)
(Sara giggling creepily)
(Justine laughs evilly)
(Sara laughing)
What is that? - I don't know
- It sounds like you're shivering.
(beep)
(Justine chuckles maliciously)
that's good.
Sitting in this now?
- Yeah.
- Great, what the (beep)'s going on?
(Sara laughing)
Oh man.
Oh, oh man.
(Justine and Sara laughing)
Oh man.
My morbid curiosity
made me be like "yeah, I wanna check this out."
Oh god, Sara, no.
(laughing)
Do you guys want me to pretend it's cute?
(Justine and Sara laughing)
When I first saw it,
I wasn't like, "oh, they did this, themselves."
- Oh, that's good.
- Were you going for dead clowns?
- Sort of like spooky clowns.
- You are beautiful woman.
But with this makeup, you are not.
And this right here, looks like something happened to you.
It just freaks me the hell out.
Yours has an aesthetic
that is more like the doodles on a notebook.
Yours has definitely more of a commercial look.
Which, I can't tell which one freaks me out more.
This speaks to how effective the makeup is,
it that I'm like, I feel slightly nervous
turning my back on one of you guys.
(Justine laughing)
That's why I keep trying to be like.
This one has a really nice color palette.
And then I feel like yours is whimsical.
So, most whimsical.
And best color coordination.
And I feel like I nailed that, and now we're good.
(Justine laughing)
- Thank you.
- Stop leaning.
(girls laughing)
