You can set up a face painting booth at a children’s party and earn while having fun at the same time. After all, what can be more fun than expressing your own individuality so blatantly? Children will surely be lining up to have their faces painted. However, when it comes to designing what to paint, beginners often get stuck. What would the kids want? Well in answer to that question, here are some kids face painting designs for you. Let’s face it – not everyone is a Vincent Van Gogh or a Michael Angelo. But by simply taking the time to read a bit, you can learn to paint designs that children will love.

One popular face painting design is the Tiger. In this design, you will be using primarily the colors yellow and orange. You can mix both colors to achieve the yellow orange hue of a tiger’s skin. Then use black to paint on whiskers and a nose. Just make sure your first coating has already dried before putting on the nose and whiskers or else the paint will smear. You don’t want to have to clean that mess up.

Another well-liked design is the Butterfly. This is a particularly common pick among little girls. Since butterflies come in different colors, you can choose any color for this design. You can also create different wing patterns. Your nose will be the butterfly’s body and the wings can stretch diagonally across the cheek. But when choosing a color combination, keep in mind that the colors that work best together are those that are either near or opposite to each other on the color wheel. For example, pink and blue always look good together. As do yellow and green. Contrasting colors like black and white are also a good combination.

When Halloween comes around, Spidey is also a popular pick -especially among little boys. You will be needing red, black and white. First, sponge your models entire face with red. About three coats will do. However, avoid laying the paint on too thickly or cracking may result later on. Next, paint the eyes white and then paint on Spiderman’s signature black patterns. If you don’t know how to do the patterns, you can always download a copy from the net.

For parties, Clowns are also a common choice. You will need a lot of white paint for this one. The first thing to do is paint the entire face of your model white. Wait for it to dry and then add additional features like two small yellow dots on both cheeks and a bright red nose. A matching neon green afro wig will complete the circus clown look.

These are the top face painting designs that kids love. And what is great about these designs is that they are very easy to do too. You won’t have to wear yourself out painting. In fact, there’s a very good chance that you will have a lot of fun. So what are you waiting for? Try out these designs now and have a blast while doing so.
