Fall Face Painting — A Gorgeous Leaf Design

Fall Fairy Face Paint Instructions

Whether you call it Autumn or Fall, this is the season of falling leaves and rich colors. So what better Fall face painting theme than this gorgeous leaf design from Heather Timmons of ‘The Cats Meow Face Painting’, originally inspired by a design in a face painting book from the Wolfe brothers*. You can see this make up in different colors and variations in Heather’s video (below).

I think this leafy design would be perfect not just for Thanksgiving and for Fall themed events but also for a woodland fairy face painting. Don’t you think sprites, wood nymphs and elves alike would look magical in leafy make up like this?

But maybe what I like best about Heather’s ‘Leafy Eye Glam’ design is that this is face painting for grown up girls. Teen girls and women can wear this make up without danger of looking childish or clown-like. It is both striking and delicate, and with the jewel tones of the paint and the addition of the metallic gold face paint it can give you an exotic Eastern Princess look.

Corpse Bride Face Painting Tutorial

Corpse Bride Make Up instructions

Here’s a cute Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride makeup look just in time for Halloween! This face painting example is quite involved but the results are worth it.

The Corpse Bride is a lovely Halloween costume and makeup idea for women and teens as well as for younger girls. She is just the right combination of prettiness and creepiness for those of us who want to look cute but still enter into the spirit of a horrible Halloween.

My face painting example below is mostly a combination of a couple of Corpse Bride makeup tutorial videos. I’ll share those further down. Some of the Corpse Bride face paint tutorials put a lot of effort into creating authentic cheek detail to match the Tim Burton Corpse Bride. That is fine if you have a steady hand and plenty of time to spare, and you can see an example in the first makeup video. But for newer face painters and those of you creating this on a not-too-patient friend or child, I recommend keeping it simple. In my face painting instructions I’ve used a similar detail to the one from the child Corpse Bride video instead.

Sylvi Ji Day of the Dead Sugar Skull makeup

Dia de los Muertos makeup and face paint owes much of its popularity to the paintings of Sylvia Ji. Her gorgeous artwork shows beautiful women with sugar skull inspired painted faces.

Small wonder this has become such a popular look for both Halloween and the Dias de los Meurtos.

You may already have seen the simple Day of the Dead face paint and now want some ideas to make it more interesting. Or maybe you like the look of the advanced Sugar Skull Art makeup, but would like an alternative.

Here is a Dia de los Muertos sugar skull face painting idea that was inspired by a famous Sylvia Ji painting. A quick image search on the web will bring up a picture of the painting, or visit Sylvia Ji’s website to see all her work.

Cute ghost makeup tutorial

So, you want to be a cute Halloween ghost? Well, this ghost makeup tutorial will help you to be the hottest ghost in town!

Just like with our cute Zombie girl makeup, there is no reason why a ghost can’t be cute. Kids look adorable with white faces but it isn’t exactly the most imaginative of Halloween face painting designs. After all, older kids and adults don’t want their friends to say, “Well, you didn’t try very hard”.

With this ghost face paint, that is not going to happen. This is the perfect ghost make up for teen girls and for women, which gives you a spooky but sophisticated look. Yes, not only will you look like a ghost, but you will look gorgeous at the same time. Problem solved!

If anyone looking for a ghost face painting for guys is reading, stay with me. Take a look at the below step by step ghost makeup tutorial (tip: if talking to your son, call it “ghost face paint” and not “makeup”!) and you will see that if you stop short of adding lipstick, mascara and eyebrow pencil you will have a ghost design that is great for guys. As with all these Halloween face painting tutorials, the key is to adapt the example to suit yourself.

Avatar Face Painting is the Coolest Blue Face Paint Design for 2010

October 12th, 2010 Posted in Face Painting Ideas for Boys, Face Painting Ideas for Girls, Step by Step Face Painting

No matter whether you are face painting for boys or girls, this makeup inspired by the movie Avatar is going to be popular! Girls and women will love to be the beautiful and brave heroine Neytiri but boys can be one of the young male Na’vi warriors.

The Avatar makeup here is that of Neytiri but can be adapted for boys.

An Avatar face painting is mostly blue paint or makeup. You will need a pale blue and a darker blue, and also a pink and some white for details.

Not all face painting designs work well on a digital example. If the images here don’t look like the Avatar makeup effect you want to achieve, I do recommend watching the wonderful video from FancifulFaces where you can see both how she painted the Neytiri face paint on herself and the effectiveness of her finished result.

The Joker — Creepy Clown Face Paint

The Joker creepy clown face from Batman

A lot of people are creeped out by clowns. I think we can (at least in part) blame Stephen King for that. And Batman, of course.

Jack Nicholson took the creepy clown comic-book figure of The Joker and brought him to life on our screens. More recently, Heath Ledger came along and gave us a new, even creepier reinterpretation of The Joker, before his own young life was cut short.

But the green-haired maniac with the creepy clown face is immortal. Many of us grew up with the comics or the first Batman movies, and kids now can almost all recognize The Joker, even those too young to watch the latest movie.

No wonder The Joker is a popular face painting design for all ages. Heath Ledger made this creepy villain a look that teens and tweens want to be seen with. And it is a look that never gets tired for adults, especially since Ledger’s makeup brought a new edge to it. Men who would normally shy away from face paint are going to look fantastic as The Joker. Of course, as the paint is anything but subtle and disguises your own features, a woman can wear the look just as well as a man.
