The first thing we have to do is make up the face with a white base. In the mime costume, unlike other costumes such as the living death or spider you do not have to paint the entire face and part of the neck, you just have to paint the front area of the face, you can highlight it with a thin black line to highlight plus the white zone.

The next step to make a good mime costume is to make the details of the face. Red lips and black eyes are the basics after you can add little details like a scar in one eye.

The rest of the elements of the mime costume are simple you have to wear black pants for the boy and a black skirt for the girl. In the case of the girl is recommended white stockings and over black and white socks. In the image you can see all the necessary material to make a mime costume.

A very good trick for mime makeup is to use a black cream makeup and a fine makeup brush to outline the lower eyelids. Many mime artists also use the same tools to draw a tear or other decorations under one or both eyes.

Add some elements to the mime costume such as a beret or black top hat, a tie, braces, or striped socks. If you want to create a mime of terror - for Halloween, for example - create a visible wound with makeup and artificial blood.
