What this video covers

Makeup artist Alexys Fleming of Madeyewlook recreates the iconic creepy clown look from the 2015 Poltergeist film using professional-grade face and body paints. The tutorial walks through building the character using a limited palette of white, black, red, and olive tones. At roughly six minutes, it delivers a focused, efficient breakdown of the finished look tied to the then-new horror release.

Key takeaways

  • Uses a small set of professional paints — Graftobian and Mehron — to achieve a film-accurate clown appearance
  • Olive body paint adds an eerie, sickly undertone to the overall look
  • Paired eyeliner and eyeshadow help define detail work around the eyes
  • Creator links to separate tutorials for safe makeup and body paint removal
  • Inspired directly by the 2015 Poltergeist remake, making it timely for film-themed Halloween costumes
