Face Painting Is Fun For Kids and Adults

My kids love face painting. I am doing face painting for my daughter’s birthday party this year and I am excited because it is always a popular choice and lots of fun for me and the kids.

Face Painting Tips:

Face Painting Tips

*Professional face paint is a little more expensive, but it is so worth it because they are certified safe.  That way you can rest assured that there are no hidden nasties or toxic pigments in the face paint.

*Professional face paint goes on a lot easier and is easier to do more intricate designs with.

*Professional face paint also comes out of carpet and clothes more easily.

*To keep costs down, just buy a couple of colors, like red, blue and yellow, and
mix them together to make more colors.

*Use disposable cotton buds and make-up pads. Using different pads for different colors means you don’t have to wash out the pads during a painting session.

*Make sure you have plenty of photos of finished faces that kids can look at while they were waiting. This gives them time to make their minds up and also gives you a template to work from.

*Remember to take a mirror so the person who’s face you’ve just painted can see the result.

*Baby wipes work fast and easy for ‘mistakes’; you can also be assured they are safe to use on faces.

*Avoid letting paint dry on your brushes and utensils. Brushes, utensils, and hands can then be washed with soap and water.

Buy Face Paint:

Go Green Face Paint

There are lots of places you can get face paints but I recently found one I am very pleased with. Actually, Go Green Face Paint found me and sent me a package of their certified organic face paint. I couldn’t be happier with this child safe, lead free, dye free, paraben free organic face paint that is safe for everyone. If you are looking to buy facepaint and you want to try their professional quality organic face paint, you can get it at gogreenfacepaint.com

DIY Face Paint Tiger Instructions

First you will want to use white on the eyelids and over the eyebrows making an upward triangle shape over the eyebrows.

Then use the face paint around the mouth area downward from the nose and over the mouth towards the bottom of the chin.

Next fill in the rest of the face with orange face paint.

Finally use black to add symmetrical stripes and color in area over nostrils. Draw a line straight under the nose to connect it to mouth.

    My kids have NEVER had their faces painted, can you believe it? I think it all has something to do with someone else touching their faces!! You are amazing at it, however! I think I’d make a royal mess if I tried!

    SO GLAD to hear about this face paint. My kids love having their faces painted for Halloween, but I’ve relied on makeup that’s free from harmful chemicals instead. Excited to check out this new option!
