Now, some techniques take lots and lots of practice. I can’t imagine anyone picks up a face painting brush and swirls on a perfect princess crown on the first try. So these tips aren’t a substitute for good old–fashioned practice. But they will give you a head start and get you on your way towards becoming an expert face painter. So let's get start...
Teardrops and swirls are two things that you’ll need to know how to do in order to be a successful face painter. While it may not seem like a difficult skill to learn, most beginner face painters struggle with this. And keep in mind that teardrops and swirls are not just for princes crowns. The stripes on the kitty mask below are really just a vari...
When you are a newbie face painter, chances are, you’ll be a little nervous the first few times you face paint. (See my last tip if that’s the case.) Or maybe you just had too much coffee before your gig! Painting whiskers, outlines, or swirls with a shaking hand is, no surprise, really hard. Whatever the reason your hands are shaking, there’s an e...
When you are just starting out as a face painter, you may start collecting face paints that don’t all fit together in a nice, neat palette. After I got my first gig, I went out and bought several containers of face paint in different shaped containers and sizes. Then I bought some split cakes in various sizes and a few one strokes too. The face pai...
While we all want to save money where we can, good quality professional face paints are the way to go when you want to create beautiful designs. That doesn’t mean you need to break the bank to get what you need though. You can save money by buying larger containers of face paint. For example, a 5 gram container of Wolfe white is 44 cents per gram w...
A base layer is the face paint you sponge on a face before you begin detailed line work. For example, if you are painting a blue kitty design, you would likely begin by sponging on blue and white face paint on the forehead, cheeks, nose and upper lip. At this stage, your design won’t look much like any recognizable animal. But what comes next will ...
Most kids will not be able to sit as still as a statue while you paint them. This can be a real challenge when you are a novice face painter. One thing I like to do is place my left hand (my non-painting hand) on the top of the child’s head. It kind of acts to calm them while also giving you a little warning if they should suddenly move their head....
Should you activate your face paint by wetting your face paint directly or by spritzing your sponge? You can do either, however, spritzing your sponge (or dipping your brush in clean water) first will keep your face paints drier and less likely to grow mold or bacteria. While face paints do contain preservatives to keep them fresh, you don’t want t...
Applying glitter can be a little tricky. It won’t stay put on a design unless the face paint is wet. That can be a problem if you’ve waited to apply glitter at the end. One trick to get the glitter to stick after face paint has dried, is to take a small water spritzer (I always use one for wetting my sponges) and spritz the child’s face from a dist...
Some face painters prefer to stand while face painting and others like to sit. Figure out what your preference is by practicing on your child or a friend. See if you find it much easier to face paint while being able to move freely between your model in the chair and your table. Or do you know that your back will be killing you after an hour of sta...
