Face painting ideas




Kids of all ages delight in seeing their painted faces. There is something primal and yet reassuring when one peers out behind a mask or painted face at the strange and wonderful new you. It’s a bit of a shock at times, often surprisingly but nearly always delightful in the end.

Face painting takes just a few simple skills to master to provide maximum appeal. Face painting ideas can come from anyone and anything, including fantastical elements from literature and film, mundane everyday items that get transformed with a bit of creativity into something unique– even dreams and fantasies can provide fertile raw materials from which to harvest face painting ideas.

Certain themes seem to be favored by girls while others by boys. For example, girls often enjoy having their faces painted along the following lines: butterflies, cats, cuddle animals, puppies, fairies, princesses, bunny rabbits and other small furry creatures, ladybugs, flowers, elves, rainbows and mermaids.
