Juggalos, or hardcore fans of the Detroit rap duo the Insane Clown Posse, are a colorful bunch for sure. If you're a new fan of Insane Clown Posse, you've probably seen members of the juggalo family out somewhere, or just on the Internet, in full juggalo face paint.
Juggalo family often don this face paint for special occasions in tribute to their beloved ICP, who, of course, originated the juggalo face paint look. Juggalo face paint is also a great way to express individuality, something that is very important to juggalo family.
If you're ready to sport your own juggalo face paint look, it's easy. You'll need, first of all, a mirror and good lighting so you can see what you're doing.
You also need special makeup to apply juggalo face paint -- regular drugstore cosmetics won't be opaque enough or stay put. For juggalo face paint, you need to visit a costume shop or other place that sells matte theatrical makeup of the kind used by actual clowns.
The basic colors you will need are white, black, and a silvery gray. Other colors are rarely used, though some juggalo family members sometimes like to add touches of a few other colors, like orange, purple, red, or yellow, for accents.
Once you have your paint, you may wish to sketch out a design ahead of time so you can make sure to leave rooms for the different shapes. You may also choose to freestyle it, of course.
If you're planning in advance, you can get some ideas from other juggalo family, but definitely don't copy anyone else's designs. Above all else, juggalo family is about individuality in self-expression, so don't be afraid to try out your own artistic ideas.
If you need help starting out, you can, however, mimic the designs used by Insane Clown Posse themselves. Juggalo family considers that a tribute, not a ripoff.
Once you have a rough idea of your desired design, it's time to actually apply the juggalo face paint. Most designs use a white base, so cover your whole face with it using a sponge. You may also choose to leave this blank and just draw designs on top. If you use the white base, give it a few minutes to dry and set before you add more.
If you're going to use the silger-gray color, use that next and block in the large areas, then outline them with black. If you're just using black, pick that up next. You want to keep the design simple, focusing on your eyebrows and a large mouth design. These should be stylized and dark. If you block these in with black, you can trace the outlines with another color for accents.
Step back often to check your work so you don't overdo it. When you're satisfied, head out to an Insane Clown Posse show or another gathering of Insane Clown Posse fans!
