Thanks for all your comments and challenges set for me.
This post is in reference to Marie’s challenge (via e-mail): to create face painting designs to match dresses, for a little girl. What a great idea! Why not create a beautiful design for your little girl for a party or when she’s wearing her favourite dress at home. So firstly, choose a dress that has some kind of design on it, luckily I have plenty of dresses to choose from. 
Depending on how much time you have and how patient your child is, choose a dress with a simple design or difficult. This time I’ve chosen a dress that has large flowers and few colours. As you can see I’ve just copied the flowers and made a simple line of them across the forehead. Then using the same colours I painted the eyelids in the sequence of colours I used.
I was surprised how much she loved having a princess like design on her that matched her dress. Something that is unique to her, of course sometimes the problem with face painting is not getting it on but trying to wash it off that night.
Well, I hope you enjoyed my post. Something to think about: that sometimes even the simplest designs can bring as much joy to a child than the complicated designs do for us adults.
Feel free to leave a comment for me, especially if you’d like to see anything in particular. There will be a new addition to our Face Painting Tips Site in the near future, Halloween Designs. So be on the look out for that, some great original full face and cheek designs.

Hi, Pauline,
Nice to put a name with the beautiful face painting designs. You have the prettiest models!
I think little girls would just be delighted to have a design on their face to match their outfit, even if it was very simple.
I know my girls were always trying to put eyeliner and makeup on. This way you can control where the colors go.
Have a great day!
