Pumpkin Face Painting — The Cutest Halloween Face Paint!

Pumpkin face painting

Just my opinion, of course, but I think the Pumpkin gets the prize as one of the cutest Halloween face painting designs there is! A pumpkin costume is always fun but this really would give it the finishing touch and means that your little pumpkin won’t feel left out when he or she sees friends and siblings with painted faces.

This is an especially adorable face paint for small kids but if you are happy to be center of attention you can try it out on yourself too.

While we are on the subject of little ones, although face paints are non-toxic and safe for kids you might feel happier keeping a small area free of paint around the mouth and eyes. Of course, always use a reputable brand of face paint in any case. (There is a lady on YouTube who paints her own face with acrylic face paints — as she points out herself, this is NOT recommended!)

You do need a few colors of face paint to create the detail on this pumpkin. Glitter isn’t necessary but kids love it and it makes the finished face painting look more special.

I bet you will see at least one skeleton going out and about in only their bones this Halloween! I’ve seen skeleton costumes for kids, adults, babies and even the dog!

Dogs and babies can get away with just a costume, but the rest of us look so much scarier with a skeleton face painting to finish the illusion. Otherwise the bony effect might look great but you will spoil it with your head (no offence!). And since you are looking for face painting examples, I’m pretty certain that you don’t want to wear a mask.

In any case, it doesn’t get much easier than skull face paint. You can create the skeleton face illusion with just 2 colors of face paint. That’s right, white and black.

If you are looking for face paints for kids, I always recommend Snazaroo. And no, they didn’t pay me to say that. However, their face paints receive great reviews from parents and are non-toxic and easy to wash off little faces, which seems like reason enough.
