I love painting children's faces. I'm by no means an expert; I stick to simple cartoon images and swirls. I only use facepaint and a brush and a smidgeon of glitter, I can't do fancier designs that require sponges, stencils, jewels or airbrushing tools. But kids don't seem to care. Even a simple heart or rainbow on their cheek brings out huge smiles. Some kids don't like being touched in the face and others can't sit still long enough to paint a detailed design, but fortunately my kids love it, and I can spend ages painting lots of fun designs on their faces.I've done a couple of birthday parties for family and for charity, and I always have as much fun as the kids whose faces I paint. Parents sometimes tell me it's such a shame that such pretty art inevitably gets smudged away. But I don't mind. That's why it's facepaint. It just means that I get another blank canvas to paint on all over again.

Oh I like seeing kids running around in fairs and festivals with their faces painted oh so beautifully.
Great job--they all look so cute!
So you are doing face painting instead of body painting, lol ! very cute and nice !
I have the Waterloo battle painted, not so cute, lol !
They look great! I've done my own kids and a couple of parties for friends. I agree it's fun! I always mean to buy the better paints. The face painting lady at the Arboretum sells a simple set.
