Striking theatrical makeup is an instant way to evoke the circus feel on a budget - clown makeup, black and white and red are pure drama - for little cost involved. Use of colorful wigs or graphic shapes provides plenty of scope for innovative beauty looks. Don't forget the animal masks - or if any of you are lucky enough to have stashed actual venetian masks away - now is the time to pull them out and bejewel them!. Use top hats and huge bows and tons of large fashion forward costume jewelry. This is NOT the place to scrimp - at least on the visible points. You have probably already noticed this look around, as even Hollywood has gotten into the mix. This was a large section of the recent staging for Brittany Spears as she toured at the Tacoma Dome. One of the greatest pieces of this look is reflected in all of our memories, so this is a great asset to putting on the "Best Show In Town".
