Fancy Dress Make-up Tips by KV Sinclair
Face paint is a great to achieve a low budget finishing look for your costume where you either don't want to wear a mask or a mask is not a suitable alternative. Before you start it's worth reading all of the manufacturer's application instructions to ensure tear-free results.... Having read the instructions, here are a few more tips worth consideration;
oFirstly, before applying make-up for the actual event it's always worth practising. It's what they say, practise makes perfect and the more you prepare, the quicker you will become this is especially valuable if you will be a time pressured parent on the day!
oWhen using face paints on a large area, for example, background colour washing, use a sponge rather than a brush. This will allow you to blend the colour better and will be smoother and more comfortable on the face. Keep the sponge fairly dry and take the paint up to the hairline and just under the chin.
oIt is important to use a clean sponge with each change of face paint colour. It may be better to invest in one sponge per colour of face paint rather than continually rinse a single sponge out during the application process.
oEnsure that you have all of the required face paints, sponges, brushes, water bowls, clean water and paper towels (kitchen towel works well) to hand before starting. Paper towels are a must as all face painting leads to some mess.
oAlways apply face paint in thin layers as it is less likely to crack and will be more comfortable for the wearer. Thin layers of paint also dry quicker and this is important as each layer of paint should be dry before applying the next layer so as to avoid colour runs and inadvertent colour mixing.
oIf you are creating a face pattern with fixed shapes, for example, squares, triangles, circles, stars and you are not confident in your ability to paint these freehand, cut yourself some templates and use these as guides.
oFace paints come in a variety of colours and most brands are suitable for mixing allowing you to create different shades as required. Nowadays, forward thinking manufacturers have pre-assembled collections of face paints to suit many of the occasions suited to the wearing of fancy dress. These are either themed to the event, for example, Halloween, or the character, for example, witch, ghost, devil etc. These are a perfect introduction to face painting.
Lastly, there are many books available for those who want to develop their skills further. These are inexpensive to purchase and will provide you with an endless supply of designs to follow.
