Tiger Face Paint Tutorial And Face Painting Tips

My kids love face painting. We have stood in some of the longest lines at festivals and fairs because they wanted to get their faces painted. So this year, I am doing face painting for my daughter’s birthday party. I am excited because it is always a popular choice and lots of fun for me and the kids. It makes for memorable party photos too! In this post I will share with you my face painting tips, my Go Green face paint review, and my tutorial for tiger face paint. It is one of the most popular face paint ideas.

How To Face Paint Tips

*Don’t buy a cheap Halloween face paint. 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 paints go on a lot easier and is easier to do more intricate designs with. It 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.

*It is nice to have multiples brushes. A small round brush is very all purpose.

*Baby wipes come in handy for removing the initial layer of face paint. Then use face wash to get off any remainder.

Easy Tiger Face Painting Tutorial

First, for this tiger face paint easy tutorial, you will want to use white paint. Apply it evenly on the eyelids and over the eyebrows making an upward triangle shape over the eyebrows.

Then use the white 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. The entire face should now be covered.

Finally use black paint to add symmetrical black lines or stripes to the forehead, cheek area, and chin area. Outline the area around nostrils. Use the black face paint to draw a line straight under the nose to connect it to a thin black line over the mouth. Add black dots to the whisker area.

Use the picture as your guide. This simple design helps give you an idea of the general order that works best for the face paints.
