Here’s one of my favorite face painting ideas – combining face paint and ‘everyday’ make up/cosmetics.
If done right it can look amazing and it can save you time because you don’t have to wait for it to dry like you would with face paints. So if you’re looking for something new to add to your face painting, or you want to stretch yourself as an artist then you’ll enjoy these face painting ideas, so keep reading!
* Blush can be used to make rosy cheeks on a bunny rabbit or a princess face painting design instead using pink face paint. Blush creates a softer, more subtle color and it’s quick to apply. 
* Eye Liner Pencil can be used to outline the eyes or absolutely any part of a face painting design. For beginners it’s much quicker and easier than using a brush. I highly recommend it, it’s a super easy way to create clean lines. And these days you can get eye liner in an endless amount of different colors, so you have alot to choose from.
* Eye Shadow can be used around the eyes and anywhere else on the skin. You can find cheap eye shadow in countless colors, just like blush it’s quick to apply and you may even want to experiment by blending eye shadow with your face paints. It’s up to you, I think you should never stop experimenting with different face painting ideas.
Happy Face Painting

Love this idea I am fairly new at face painting about three years now.
Wonder about the allergic reactions to makeup.
Would like to hear you comments on this.
Keep the tips coming they sure help.
Thanks Again,

I am an AVON Representative/Face Painter. I use my make up ALL THE TIME. I especially use pencil and liquid eyeliners to make outlines and to write the child’s name on their face. I’ve never had anyone break out over makeup, but I have had a child that couldn’t use any RED!
these are great, fab ideas for the kids birthday parties.
