We hope these 5 easy steps on painting clown faces are very helpful to you. The white face makeup is most commonly associated with clowns; therefore we use this style of clown face for this article on painting clown faces.

Start up tips: Always work with a clean canvas, keeping wet wipes on hand is always helpful when face painting kids.

Get the right tools for painting clown faces:

•    1 medium flat brush
•    1 medium round brush
•    Applicator sponge (such as a white cosmetic wedges or high density face paint sponge)
•    Water-based face paint colors in red, black and white
•    Fresh water and cup of water for rinsing brushes.

After get the right tools and a clean face, let's get painting a clown face in five steps.

Step 1 on How to Paint a Clown Face: Set the Base Color

The white is applied first as a base color. Use a spray bottle to wet the white cake or use a damp sponge, rubbing the sponge in the make up to coat the sponge thoroughly. Cover the entire face, stopping at the jaw and hair line. Remember to get underneath the eyes; this is best achieved by having your subject look up at the ceiling with their eyes only then applying the makeup under the eyelash line.

Step 2 on How to Paint a Clown Face: Apply the Clown Smile and Nose

Using the flat brush and red make up, apply the smile and the nose. The nose is done by just coloring the tip of your subjects nose. For the lips, paint in the full bottom lip and then just below the lip line. Using the edge of the flat brush continue a line past the edge of the mouth and curl it slightly upwards. The upper lip makes an "M"; color that in and blend into the lip line.

Step 3 on How to Paint a Clown Face: Completing the Clown Mouth

Finish the smile of with a circle at the end of the smile line. You can do this by using the brush handle to gauge an invisible line from the centre of the eye down to the smile. This is where we add the circle completing the clown mouth.

Step 4 on How to Paint a Clown Face: Add Details to the Mouth

This is a lovely effect but not necessary for your clown face, especially if you have a long line of children waiting to be painted. Get a small amount of red make up or a little dry rouge on a dry sponge, have your subject smile big with the mouth closed to raise the cheeks. Starting with the round "apple" part of the cheek, gently rub on the red across the cheek and continue downward with a slight curve accenting the smile. This gives the clown a soft glow.

Step 5 on How to Paint a Clown Face: Face Painting the Eyes

Using the round fine tip brush, make the arc over the eye. Starting at the inner eye, paint the line up and over the eye brow ending at the outer edge of the eye. Tracing lightly the first time and then go over a second time to fill in often works the best.

Now And Then- Corporate Habits- Lunch

Speaking to my father and some colleagues recently, it quickly became apparent that the corporate worlds that we cater for today, and the long lunches my dad enjoyed 20 years ago, are so vastly different.

Lunch at midday at a restaurant or in the boardroom in 1991 would probably have consisted of a few beers to begin, oysters, rare steak, a few bottles of wine, and perhaps a whiskey or 2 at the bar to finish. Compare that to today, and corporate Melbourne catering is a very different experience.

Whilst bankers and brokers of the past were knocking down the doors from 11am, the corporate world these days are barely seated by 1pm. To be at their next meeting at 2pm.

The VB and Crown has been replaced by sparkling mineral water, although the odd spicy tomato juice remains. Oysters? Try sourdough roles with oil and balsamic.

Main course is usually a light, contemporary (and healthier) twist on an older classic. Where beef wellington may have laid in the past rests a medium eye fillet, accompanied by a fresh citrus salad or baked artichoke. Seafood is also a popular trend, with Kingfish, Salmon, Trout and Barramundi all doing the rounds this Winter.

The heavy, french inspired sauces of previous decades are also absent, with fresh, acidic vinaigrettes and aioli dressing the plate, or a lightly reduced jus. Something to match half a glass of chilled pinot gris or a gentle cabernet.

The professional, waistcoat-clad wait staff have served main at 1pm, and cleared at 1.20, except perhaps for the guest speaker- he can keep picking... What's for dessert?? Fresh fruit, refreshing sorbets, fluffy puddings and creative tarts allow clients and staff to return to their desks feeling satisfied, but not too weighed down. To answer my dad's question, YES dad, cheese and fruit platters remain.

You can however leave the filtered coffee and tea pots to the airlines: herbal infusions and an espresso to order will round things off nicely.

So dad, how does that sound for a Friday afternoon?? "Ummmm, shall we make a booking down the road?".

does anyone know where I can find these formula containers at?

I have one of those round formula dividing containers. Which is a pain in the a**. I saw these neat ones on first years site and wondered has anyone used them or where could I buy them at. These look a lot easier to pack in the diaper bag and I could use any type of bottle with them.
