Halloween Face Painting for Kids
Parties
If you’ve been up to date and savvy with your Halloween
gear and looks, you will of course know that face painting is making a big
splash, especially amongst kids. Face painting is much simpler than a full
face make up. Instead of putting on layers of foundation, simple face
painting or cheek art targets just one side of the face, turning this into
fun cheek art that is fast becoming popular in parties and fairs.
Kids are especially fond of such make up, as they can have nice designs
temporarily tattooed onto their cheeks, hands, and arms, all without
worrying about removal after. Face painting is also safe: if you use face
paints that are approved for use on the skin, and many of these face
paints are water-based, so that removal after will involve gentle wiping
with a paper towel soaked in water.
If you are interested in
Halloween face
painting, then why not have a party built around this theme? Halloween
face painting can be fun if you want to get your kids and your friends’
kids together, and still have them amused while the grownups have their
own fun. You can also hold a Halloween face painting for kids at an
orphanage or shelter, and show a lot of heart in what is traditionally the
season of spooks.
You can start off with six basic colors of face paint, which do not cost a
lot. Practice your art, and master a few well-known Halloween images, such
as a pumpkin, ghost, skull, haunted house, or, if you choose to be even
more detailed and artistic, a vampire, zombie, or Frankenstein monster.
Practice these images a few days before the big day, and get your kids to
help you. You might also want to keep a few more non-Halloween fun images
handy for adults who want to have their own face paint. You can have
something as simple as stars or roses, or something as complex as
intricate butterflies.
On the big day, have two different brush sizes ready, along with a basin
of water and some paper towels to wipe off any excess paint. If you have a
lot of kids at the party, have a sample of your designs ready so that the
kids can pick what design they want to have on their arm, cheek, or even
chest. You do not need to paint something detailed or masterful: cheek art
is meant to be attractive, and it will wash off at the end of the night,
so keep it simple but elegant.
Here are a few other ideas for your
Halloween face
painting party. Have the kids design their own face paint, and give
out a prize to the best design of the night. You can give away a set of
face paints so that the kids can practice all the way till Christmas and
another face painting Christmas party! Or you can give candies away to
kids who have a specific cheek art on – this can encourage the kids to
have as many paintings on their bodies as possible so that they can have
the greatest variety of candies.
These are only a few ideas for your Halloween face painting party. Always
make sure that your face paints are approved for use on skin, and that you
test your face paints on the inside of your arm before using them. Have
fun this Halloween and let your inner Picasso out, thanks to face
painting!
