Set the gold standard in character, performance, and stage makeup with Ben Nye Clown White- the iconic, world renowned industry standard for stark, ultra opaque white foundation.
Formulated specifically for maximum colour intensity and durability, this dense, ultra-pigmented cream foundation delivers complete, streak free white coverage that holds up flawlessly under blinding stage lights, intense heat and grueling performance schedules.
Built on a classic petrolatum and wax matrix, Clown White offers superior elasticity and grip, adhering seamlessly to the skin without cracking, flaking or drying out during long wears.
Whether you are creating classic circus clowning, mime designs, high contrast drag bases, theatrical characters, or dramatic SFX/editorial fantasy looks, Ben Nye Clown White provides the ultimate blank canvas with an uncompromised white payoff.
Clown White vs. Clown White Lite: What’s the Difference?
Understanding the distinct characteristics of Ben Nye's two iconic white foundations will help you select the exact formula for your production requirements:
-
Formula Base & Consistency: Original Clown White features a traditional, ultra-rich petrolatum and wax base designed for heavy duty structural stability. Clown White Lite uses a lighter ester based cream matrix for a silkier, lower viscosity feel.
-
Density & Weight: Original Clown White provides a heavier, highly protective physical barrier on the skin that excels in extreme theatrical environments, whereas Clown White Lite feels lighter and more fluid during long hours on set.
-
Coverage Payoff: Original Clown White delivers instant, full coverage opacity with minimal product application, making it the preferred choice for full face opaque mapping (mimes, clowns, classical theatre). Clown White Lite allows for easier sheer buffing at the edges.
-
Skin Suitability: Original Clown White is exceptionally comfortable on drier skin types and under dry studio lighting. Clown White Lite is often favoured for normal to oily skin, modern 4K digital camera work and hot performance settings.
Ben Nye Clown White imparts a bright, true white finish perfect for creating Geisha and Clown makeups as well as any other character makeups where a pure white base is required.
The highly pigmented, creamy formula goes on smooth, opaque and evenly and provides a full coverage that is durable and stable.
Perfect for Halloween, creating Geisha makeups, Christmas characters etc!
Set with Ben Nye's Super White Loose Powder for extra white brilliance!
Approximately 5-10 full faces per ounce depending on application.
0.65oz/18gm 1.75oz/49gm
