Make Camouflage Face Painting

Since skin reflects light and this may draw an enemy's attention. Face painting designs are used to cover the skin that reflects light because of the natural oil or sweat even from dark skin. Camouflage Face Paint is used thus to cover and camouflage the skin. Soldiers mormaly apply the paint in teams or work with a buddy in pairs to help each other. A two-three color combination of paint is applied in an irregular pattern. Shiny areas (forehead, cheekbones, nose, ears, and chin) are painted with a dark, color, and shadow areas (around the eyes, under the nose, and under the chin) are painted with a light color. In addition to the face, exposed skin on the back of the neck, arms, and hands are also painted. Palms of hands are not normally camouflaged if arm-and-hand signals are to be used. The three standard camouflage face paint sticks are: loam and light green for all troops in areas with green vegetation; sand and light green for all troops in areas lacking green vegetation; and loam and white for all troops in snow covered terrain.

Advanced Tiger Face Paint - preview

This is a sneak peak at my new Tiger Face Paint Design for advanced face painters as opposed to the beginners (or standard) version revealed in my free face painting course and newsletter.

It doesn’t take any longer to paint than the standard version… once you get the forehead strips down! I will be announcing a full step-by-step break down of this advanced tiger face paint design some time, later this month.

In fact there is a simple trick to get those black stripes on super fast and still maintain that natural jagged line look that really makes this design work.

The big evolution in this design is not painting on the nose, instead I paint the tigers nose under the kids nose… a little impractical for endurance but this design is not meant for a festival gig where you have a long queue and the kids have a long day. It’s a tiger face paint for the birthday boy, photo opportunity, or those moments when you have no queue.

The nose and mouth is designed to be true to a real tiger look. The effect you’ll be trying to achieve is to project the upper lip forward.

I have noticed that a lot of my subscriber already know How to Face Paint and the tiger face is one of the staples of our industry, so if you have been pumping out that same old tiger face paint that every face painter produces and want to try something different, give it a go.

If you want to get the drop on when the full video break down of this tiger face paint design will be announced just subscribe to the RSS feed or Newsletter.
