Pink Clown Face

The Auguste Clown is considered the silliest of clowns whose origins are said to be from the late 1800's in Germany. Supposedly a Circus performer was making fun of his boss by putting on costumes and imitating him. During a Performance the circus boss walked in on one of the mocking sessions, sensing that the boss was infuriated, the circus performer ran out of the dressing room and right into the middle of the performance. As he stumbled and fell over the circus rings and his dangling costume the crowd began to laugh thinking it was part of the show. The crowd began to shout "Auguste" which is German for "fool", thus the birth of the Auguste Clown.

The first Auguste Clown wasn't wearing any makeup of course because it was an accidental performance, so he became the clown with flesh colored skin instead of the traditional Clown White Makeup. As time went on the Auguste Clown evolved into wearing flesh tone makeup, because not only was the Auguste Clown considered the silliest, but because his routine featured everyday experiences, the Auguste Clown became known as the "everyman clown".

In 1927 Mehron Melik began making Performance Makeup in a New York City loft, serving the live theater performers his venture became Mehron Company, the Leader in Performance Makeup. During this era Auguste Clowns were included in almost every performance, Mehron began making Clown Pink Makeup.

The opaque coverage of Mehron Clown Pink Makeup is loved by the silliest of clowns because it provides great coverage easily and can be blended into the skin to achieve the perfect Auguste Clown face. Thousands upon thousands of Auguste Clowns have applied Mehron Pink Makeup over the last decades because it is super smooth, long lasting, and yet easy to remove when it is time to stop clowning around.

If you silly clowns buy your supply of Clown Pink Makeup during the month of October you won't be considered the silliest clowns around. Mehron will donate 10% of the price of Clown Pink Makeup to Breast Cancer Research during the month of October as part of the Mehron Thinks Pink campaign.
