Tips for kids Face Painting

To make the process of face painting easier, remember the following tips:

Have a plan. Although most kids face painting ideas are fairly simple, they do require the subject to sit still. Unfortunately, children are typically quite impatient. You’ll need to work quickly, so it’s best to have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish.
Use makeup sponges to quickly cover a large area.
To prevent cracking, apply face paint in thin layers.
Let your base color dry before you apply additional colors to the design. If you don’t, the colors will run together.
To save time, invest in stencils for hearts, stars, balloons, and other common face painting designs.
To create professional looking results with minimal effort, combine simple face painting designs with temporary tattoos.
Make cleanup a breeze with baby wipes. Since face painting is extremely messy, it’s a good idea to keep a large supply of baby wipes readily available to fix “mistakes” and remove excess paint from your hands.
