In a case like yours Iwould suggest the pallets of makeup so each person can have their own and they dont cost much They come with the white red black and blue
The amount of make up used can be different for each clown and depends on type of clown how hevey you put it on (newbies have a tendency to put it on heavy) and how many times you put it on
Figure it will takes a few times just to get the hang of it
As far as powder goes I use baby power for my tramp but use super white setting powder on the white for my auguste just make sure the baby powder has NO CORN STARCH IN IT this will cause the make up to frlake and turn white to yellow
