How to Face Paint

Happy Halloween! The most fun, creative and spooky occasion of the year is finally here! Many of you will be out trick or treating no doubt, and some of you will be attending Halloween parties if not tonight than this weekend.

One of my favorite halloween make up ideas are painting Stitches! And we were recently asked how to paint stitches on the blog, so here’s how you do it!

Stitches work great on any part of the body - arms, legs, face, neck… where ever!

And its easier than you think, to make it look really cool!

Firstly, get a small thin brush and paint a red line with dots like in the picture.

Then use black face/body paint to paint a curved line between each pair of dots. (Makesure the lines are curved, to give it a more 3d effect.) Then paint a black line right next to the red line, overlapping a little.

The last thing you need to do get some white paint, and paint slightly over the black curved lines in the picture… and thats all there is to it!

Happy Halloween Face Painting

As I said in yesterdays post, I’d show you some more Halloween face painting photos from the Halloween party my children were at, so here they are and I hope you get some good ideas for your Halloween party celebrations!

 Left: My sister is turning my daughter into a toilet paper mummy! A fun halloween game and costume for the kiddies! (Please remember to recycle if you’re going to do this)

Right: My daughter asked me to paint a simple black mask around her eyes, I don’t know where she got the idea but I think its similar to the mask in “The Incredibles”. Although if you ask her she’ll tell you that she invented the design!

Above: My nieces, a fairy and a candy goth… whatever that means, gee its hard to keep up with the kids sometimes! I painted a simple black and red mask on her, took all of 2 minutes to do with only two colors - red and black and it looks smashing!

 My sister went all out with the Halloween decorations this year. Cheap party lights, fake cob webs and a few toy bats and spiders hanging about the ceiling, doesn’t it look great?! Would love to hear your feedback about this post.

We had such a good time this halloween, and it didn’t involve too much planning or big spending either. Making your own costumes and doing your own make up is so much fun for you and the kids, I hope you have a ball! 

Happy Halloween Face Painting,

Face Painting Tips

Here are some fun halloween make up ideas for you and your kids that you can combine with your face painting! 

Wrinkles and Bumps

To create an unusual skin texture or wrinkles, use white school glue. Find a white glue that is safe for use on the skin, is completely non-toxic and easy to remove.

For wrinkles, apply a thin layer of glue to the skin stretched out by your fingers. Dry the glue quickly with a hair dryer on low, or let air dry. Once the paste is completely dry, release the skin for instant wrinkles. To create this effect all over, work in small patches at a time.

For bumps and other skin distortions, apply other materials to your skin with white glue. A great example is to use dampened cereal flakes with white glue for a monster-like skin texture.

Moles and Warts
Utilize white glue again for moles or warts – great for witches or celebrity costumes. Glue puffed wheat cereal on to the skin, once dry, color black or brown with makeup or face paint.

Here are a couple of my favorite halloween make up ideas that you can easily use with our face paint designs this Halloween.

Scars
To create the look of scars on your skin, you can use gelatin for a simple but realistic look. Combine the gelatin with hot water and stir. Let it cool to a comfortable temperature to place on your skin – room temperature, but still gooey. Mold this mixture onto skin in the shape of a scar or other gross effect. Once its dry, you can add face paint or foundation to create a skin tone look, or red food coloring for a more bloody texture look. Halloween make up ideas like this work great with a zombie face paint design!

Teeth
Buy a black tooth cap at a costume shop or Halloween store. Halloween make up ideas like this also work great with zombie face paint designs, monster and witch!

Stay tuned for more halloween make up ideas :-)

Here are a few homemade halloween make up tips that you can use along with your halloween face painting designs!

* Create blisters on your face, by applying Vaseline with white tissues scattered on it.

* Use dark blue eye shadow and apply it with a messy manner to give yourself a scary look and look slightly bruised. 

* To give the appearance of burnt skin, wait for our blog post tomorrow and I’ll show you a video that can show you this in detail, step-by-step!

* For creating blood drops, mix blue liquid laundry starch with red food coloring. It doesn’t just stick well on your face, but also it dries in a natural manner, giving the look of real blood.

* You can apply baby powder in your hair to give it a grayish look.

* Apply baby powder on your face and then draw dark lines on your skin, so as to create that old wrinkly look.

Here’s a couple halloween face painting party ideas that you can use this Halloween or at any birthday party:

* While you’re face painting the first child, let the other children watch, and make them try to guess what design you’re painting. The first one to guess it right gets their face painted next, or wins a Halloween ‘treat’!

* Once everybody has their faces painted, nobody is allowed to call anybody else by their real name. Everybody has to address everybody else by the name of their design. eg. frankenstein, witch, zombie etc. Anybody who breaks the rule loses something from their party bag! (Be nice….give them a chance to win it back with other party game!)

P.S Read what Mary Matthews from Orlando, Florida has to say about the Halloween Make Up Guide:

“Thank you so much for the Halloween Make-Up Guide! This is a well thought out publication which includes an ‘in color’ teaching guide that takes you step by step for 20 faces!

What is great is that it covers both full faces and cheek art. It gives you the necessary colors, sponges and types of brushes that are used to complete each face.

This is a great help to those who are just learning how to face paint but also a jewel to those who want to take their painting up to a higher level!”
