More Kid's Face Painting Ideas

Here are some basic kid's face painting ideas which can be used to create interesting designs:
  • Some aspects need to be kept in mind while creating face painting patterns. It is important to use watercolor paints that are specifically made to suit face painting. Acrylic paints or markers should not be used. In fact any material used for face painting should not be harsh on the skin.
  • While applying colors if the area to be covered is large then a sponge should be used rather than a brush. This will allow you to apply the color easily. Use a different sponge for every color so that you don’t need to waste time in washing the sponge after the application.
  • After applying the first coat of color you will have to wait before the second coat is applied. If that is not done then the colors may mix and the whole effect may be completely ruined.


  • Be clear about what you want to paint before you start the painting session. This is particularly relevant when you are painting faces of children. Children do not have a lot of patience and will not be able to sit in one place for long periods of time.
  • Simple face painting designs can be created by using stencils for face painting. You can create beautiful designs through stencils such as flowers, hearts and stars among others.
  • While creating face painting designs always carry plenty of baby wipes and tissues because face painting can get messy at times. Tissues can help you to quickly wipe off the mistakes and make changes wherever necessary.
