Here, we have some Halloween face painting designs for kids that are simple and easy to make.
Tiger Face
Requirements
- Sponge
- Yellow, orange, black and white paint
- Paint brush
- Water
- Dry towel
- Damp Cloth
By using white paint and sponge, paint the area above the lips and little below the lips that would look like whiskers white. Except the forehead, paint the area around the eyes, cheek and chin with yellow paint using sponge. Now, add a yellow shade on forehead and on area outside the face. Blend the yellow and the orange shade so that both colors seem emerging from each other. Dip a thick brush in white paint and make eyebrows. The actual eyebrows will be the base for this. To give it a pointed effect, lift the brush at the end of every stroke. Do the same when creating whiskers around the mouth to give it a pointed looks. Draw a thin white line under each eye and two strokes of white brush on each cheek at an equal distance. Now take black color and paint the nose, paint evenly on the natural outline of the nostrils. Paint the lips black and extend it up till nose (stop just below the nose). Using a thin brush dipped in black paint, draw outline of whatever is painted in white except the strokes on cheeks. Add black dots to the mustache made above the lips and black strokes in between white strokes.
Witch Face
Requirements
- Sponge
- White, black and green paint
- Paint brush
- Water
- Dry towel
- Damp Cloth
This is a very easy
face painting design that can be made quickly. Start with applying a very fine and a thin layer of sparkling white color with sponge, then add a layer of electric green to it. This will give a greenish tinge to the face, but to give a perfect witch looks do not paint the entire face rather the thickness of the paint should increase when moving from the center to the sides. Draw the eyebrows with black in the same way as you did for 'tiger face' and a black line beneath the eyes. Extent this black line to form a spooky cobweb at the outer of both cheeks. Outline the cobwebs with metallic colors or glitters. Paint the lips black and draw a black spider on the tip of the nose. Such designs look gorgeous if accompanied with perfect outfits like a witch's hat, black cape and a broomstick.
Darth Maul Face
Requirements
- Sponge
- Red and white paint
- Paint brush
- Water
- Dry towel
- Damp Cloth
Dart Maul is one of the simple templates, especially for the 'Star Wars' lovers. Cover the whole face with red base. The symmetry has to be maintained throughout the face. Whatever you draw on one side should be drawn on the other side as well. Draw a line from the top of the face dividing the forehead into two equal halves until the tip of the nose. Draw diamond shapes and small circles on the line. Paint on a similar pattern around both eyes, around the chin and cheeks with black paint. Add strokes in the remaining area, but make sure that they are symmetrical.
