Hi!
These were great!!
I’m going to have to get that 3 color cake for next year as it’s too late for this year.
Thanks for the video’s. I will still be using some of the ideas!!

I paint my 3 year old son’s face just to make him happy. When I’m finished, my 14 month old comes over and holds her face up to be painted. I usually give her a QUICK simple flower, a heart, or just a swiped line with a few dots above her eyebrow and she is happy.
The arm design is a great idea, and not just for the Fourth of July. I think it would be a great way to keep a small child still since they can see the design as it is growing. I’m going to try something like this on him for our party on Saturday.
Thanks for the video.

Could you post a link to your paint supply company?
I love your videos!!!

Hi Philadelphia
Thanks for sharing the videos I am practicing a lot, but do you know what?
my paints last almost 2 days specially pink, purple and red, what kind of paint I can use that don’t last too much?

I love your rainbow paint. I work at a Marine Base Child Development Center and nothing would make my little American Heroes feel special like sporting an all American USA design. I look forward to using the red, white , and blue set. Thanks for being so patriotic.
I found I could use this same design for the older kids as a mask using the cake as a mask going over the eyes with the stars and fireworks at the temples. I loved this
I love this! It is so simple, yet looks so pretty! This is yet another wonderful example that you can use on the more “wiggly” ones
I can’t wait to try this on my wiggle-worm….she LOVED the fireworks last night so she will be thrilled for me to practice this on her! Thank you, Philadelphia for posting this!!! As always, love your blog!
Hi! I think the fourth of july ones are great! I just found your page today!
I am very inspired and have an upcoming 4th of July event at Lake Eva,in Haines City,Florida after I just moved here in April. I have been a face painter for 6 years. I trained with a woman who owned her own face painting company and did all of the fairs all over California. It was a great experience,even though she and I didn’t always get along. I am so happy I joined this profession because before all I did was oil painting and I love kids and have small siblings so its perfect for me! I use mehron makeup and sponges like yours. Thanks for the tips! <3 have a good weekend!
So cool! I love all of your tips and ideas. Thanks for sharing them. A necessity for a beginner like me. Now I know I want to be a face painter!!!
Little late for this 4th, but hope to find a local source for rainbow cakes in future.
Your tutorial was inspiring – especially look for quick designs so little (&big) ones) don’t have long wait.
thanks for sharing.
