Face Painting - anyone do it?

Hi all, so I am beginning to learn how to face paint and was wondering if anyone already does, and if so, if there were any tips, techniques, how-to's, or tricks anyone could offer. I'll mainly be doing kids faces, but am interested in any suggestions you have. Thanks!

YES! I LOVE face painting. That is kind of what I'm known for at school. All the kids in my classes say stuff like "I wonder what Desi is today" or "you should paint your face for my birthday" because I usually have a theme. Like... on David bowie's birthday, I painted my face with the Aladin Sane lightning bolt. Happy

For Cinco De Mayo, I had an old aztec circular design. it was quite hard Happy


but uh... the only techniques I really have are just go with the flow... sometimes I like to use an old hardened paint brush, or I cut the brushes to a certain angle, or length. It always helps. It really depends on if you want to do like a bold straight design, or a flowy colorful design.


Happy
