Step 1: Outline the white shape shown with a medium pointed brush. To make it easier for

yourself divide the face in two by painting a line down the middle from the tip of the point at the

top to the bottom of the point on the nose. For all of the curls start from the centre of the spiral

working your way out. Start with the two centre curls, then the outer curls which continue down to

the edge of the eye.

Step 2: You'll then want to bring the white underneath the eye

with a thin line curving it down towards the nose. From the end of

that line paint the shape shown onto the cheek and repeat on

other side.

Step 3: Paint with a light pink the inside of the white shape above the eye making sure you leave

a gap from the edge creating a white outline. You can leave the lower part of the eye lid white.

Then with pink paint a stripe on the top of the white shape below the eye. Paint a thick pink stripe

across the forehead, blend the pink into the light pink and continue the pink down the nose.

Tip: To create your light pink simply add white to your pink.

Step 4: Now that you have your basic shape you can begin to

add decorative elements with the pink. Using a small square tip

brush paint pink vertical lines on the cheek under the wavy

shape. Repeat on the other side.

Step 5: Then with the same technique paint pink lines from the tip at the top of the forhead

spreading outwards. Using the light pink with a small pointed brush add lines next to the pink

ones on the cheek to add highlight. Then paint circles above the eyebrow going from larger size

in the center to smaller cirlcles at the end.

And don't forget that every princess likes pretty pink lips (either your pink paint or lipstick will do).

Step 6: You can decorate this design with glitter and or stick on jewels. In this design, stick on

jewels were chosen and placed as shown in the picture but you can get even more creative and

come up with your own glitter and stick on jewel combination.

And that's all there is to it!

"Tips on Makeup Accessories like Glitter and Stick on

Jewels (Skin Jewellery)"

Glitter and Stick on Jewels add a whole new dimension to your face painting! They can also

transform your face paintings for amateur to professional! They can be pretty cheap if you know

where to buy them and it’s very easy to apply! They work especially well with ‘princess’ and

‘fantasy’ designs and kids love them! As with face paint, you need to remember to only use glitter

and stick on jewels that are safe to put on a persons skin (eg. body glitter) Do NOT use aluminum

glitter – polyester only. Aluminum glitter can hurt the eyes and skin.

"Where to Buy Glitter and Stick on Jewels"

Glitter/ stick on jewels can usually be bought anywhere that face paints are bought but might be a

little more expensive. Glitter/ stick on jewels can also be bought at cosmetic shops online and

offline, party supplies stores, sometimes even toy stores, discount stores and grocery stores in

the party supplies selection. Like I’ve mentioned before, make sure you buy Glitter/ stick on

jewels that is made for safe application onto the skin like face/body glitter!

"How to Use Glitter and Stick on Jewels"

Stick on jewels are so easy to use even kids can do it. Simply peel off the back of the jewel and

stick the ‘sticky’ part of the jewel directly onto the skin or onto the paint that’s on the skin. That’s

it! Also you can get plastic jewels that need to be stuck on with a little dab of paint.

Using glitter can depend on the type of glitter:

Glitter Gel: This is as its name implies a gel based glitter. It is great for adding to face paint

designs or can be used just on it's own. You can easily apply using a brush and small brushes

tend to give a better result.

Glitter (Iridescent) Powders: are the finest glitter, a flour type powder. Mix a little powder with

the face paint and apply it to the skin. It will add a ‘magical’ touch, a high sheen to the finished

face. The powder can also be applied on its own with a moist brush or sponge.

Glitter Dust: This is a loose glitter, great for the face and body. To use, sprinkle the glitter onto

the paint whilst it is still wet (and the paint is already on the face). Alternatively, to have more

control - use a slightly damp brush to add glitter to part of your face painting design.

"Painting Tricks/Techniques Part 1"

In these lessons I wanted to answer face painting questions about painting techniques that keep

getting asked time and time again! Each part will have 2 techniques each.These ‘tricks’ will save

you time and a lot of frustration!

How Do I Hold the Brush Steadily?

Firstly make sure you’re relaxed and remember to relax your hand. Grip the brush not too tightly

but not too loosely, find a comfortable position for yourself. Try not to focus on keeping your hand

still, focus on the painting. A method you can use to keep your hand steady when painting is by

using your pinky finger, like an anchor. Place your pinky out and hold your brush perhaps lower

than usual keeping your pinky on the face as you paint should give you greater control..

Remember practice makes perfect so practice as much as you can!

How Do I Make the Colours Stand Out More and Make it Easier to Paint On?

Especially when doing full face designs, first paint a base coat – a thin layer of white paint onto

the face before painting the colours for the design (You can use a brush or sponge to apply the

base coat) Using a base coat will make the surface much more even which will then make it

much easier and smoother to paint your design on, it will also make the colours stand out more

and be more vibrant! Remember to let the white paint dry, unless you wish to blend the colour in

with the white for an effect.
