What is the Clown Applying Makeup meme?
Clown Applying Makeup is a four-step tutorial photo strip of a man turning himself into a clown. Step one is the white base, step two adds painted eyes and red lips, step three is a rainbow wig being pulled on, and the last shows the finished look with a red nose. Each blank space to the left of a photo holds one stage of a bad decision or a self-deceiving belief, so the person gets more ridiculous with every line. By the final panel they are a complete clown, which is the internet's way of saying you fooled yourself.
Origin: The photos come from a 2015 YouTube clown makeup tutorial posted by a costume company. The step-by-step stills became a meme format in 2018-2019.
Also known as: Putting on Clown Makeup, Clown Makeup Tutorial, Clown Meme, Applying Clown Makeup.
How to use the Clown Applying Makeup meme
There are four boxes, one beside each photo from top to bottom. Write a chain of reasoning in which each step is slightly more delusional than the last, and save the most self-assured line for the full clown with the red nose.
It works best in the first person: procrastination, trusting a game studio again, believing an ex will change, buying a stock after it already spiked. Keep each step short and make the progression feel logical in the moment, because the joke is how reasonable every individual step sounds.
