If you’re familiar with the basics of face painting, you can have great fun experimenting with different looks and designs. Face painting can be as simple as a rainbow on your cheek or much more complicated.
The Decoration
If you want to start small, simply add a small decoration to your face much like you would at the school carnival or football game. Only instead of your school colors, you can create a gold star in the middle of your forehead or a sweeping green dragon down the side of your face.
The Mask
For a special occasion, such as a dance, you might enjoy creating a full-blown face painting by drawing on a mask. Use light, airy colors and be sure to use plenty of glitter to make your face mask sparkle. Sweeps and curls are appropriate, and you can always add elements to your mask that match your gown or outfit for the evening. Think of Drew Barrymore in Ever After, and you’ll have an idea of how to start.
Something Unusual
There is no limit once you start experimenting with face painting. You can create the face of an animal using your colors, much like the actors in Cats, or you can color your entire face like a mime if you like. Be a clown for a day or do your best impression of the Tribal Jack Sparrow. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll be having fun!
