Kelly's Face Painting Ideas

By Kelly Van Dorn

Face painting is a great hobby that not only do you entertain children but also make some extra money whilst doing it. Having a face painter at any birthday party or event is a great way to make the occasion a very enjoyable and memorable one. A great idea would be to either hire a face painter for the event or even learn yourself as you know how much the kids will love it.

If you have just entered the world of face painting and do not know where to look for the face painting ideas, try to look around. You can get face painting ideas from the world around you. You can also log on to the internet and find different sites that give you detailed information about the different 'faces' and how to paint them. They also give you information about where to buy face paint and how to perform certain techniques. Most sites will offer a range of tips including basic advice on how to clean the tools of the trade and how to take care of yourself while you are on the job of painting.

While working on a face painting idea you should also practice how to apply the paint properly. Try to apply thin coats of the paint first because If you apply thick coats it may develop cracks and you will have to redo it.

Make sure that you pay close attention to the face paint you use on your customers. I recommend always using a branded face paint or glitter that is approved by the FDA.

With the sheer amount of information online as well as books and a little of your own imagination you will soon be coming up with some great face painting ideas that you can use. Just be sure to practice and always use quality FDA approved paints.
