clown facts: Auguste

 Auguste or red clown 

 the augustes were never described as clowns because, technically, they were not instigators but recipients of the comic doings.

ones who get the pies in the face, are squirted with water, are knocked down on their backside, sit accidentally in wet paint, or have their trousers ripped off.

 auguste makeup is red or flesh tone. The eyes and the mouth are encircled in white and the features are highlighted, again, traditionally in red and black.

stumed in baggy plaids accented with colourful polka dots or loud stripes.
