Other thoughts: Remember that the archetypical clown types are only that. There perhaps was once a time when it was customary to let the personality dictate the makeup, or vice versa. (The auguste is the zany one, the whiteface is the graceful one etc etc) But that is only true in a historical sense. If you want to be a goofy whiteface or a graceful auguste, do it, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. (alleys and organizations are usually the worst offenders...take their dictates with a grain of salt. Please.)

Great advice. Too many times, I hear of being being downed because they play a clown "type" that doesn't match their make-up.
Your persona is what is going to matter most, and make-up only an afterthought. I like to think of clown make-up in the same way I do my thumb tip. No matter what it looks like - if you pull off a great performance; people will still see magic.
By the way, nice work on the face. A little refinement (like we all go through) and I think you'll be happy with it.
A light auguste look may not be a bad idea for strict security places.
Good luck, happy clowning.....
