How To Get Started With Face Painting
So you’ve decided you would like to learn how to paint faces. You want to see your painting bringing joy and delight to young children, maybe at your child’s birthday party. Or maybe you want to be a professional face painter.
Face painting really can be a very fun and fulfilling job, but it can also be a lot of hard work.
But if you’re a beginner, how do you get started? This is what I’m going to answer for you in this article.
One of the best ways of learning is to take a face painting class. It’s hard to say where to find a face painting class near you. Sometimes you can take face and body painting classes at college. Sometimes you can get free face painting classes at certain events. If you were to search Google for “face painting class + your area” you may be able to find someone who can give you some tuition.
If you want to learn advanced face painting techniques, classes are one of the best ways of learning, especially if you want to improve your painting skills quickly.
If you can’t find face painting classes in your area (they aren’t always many around, so it’s certainly no crime if you can’t fine one) then you may like to learn from face painting instructional books.
If you search a popular book site like Amazon, you’ll be able to find a whole host of books to do with face painting. Read the reviews to find out which is best suited for you.
Another good way for a beginner to learn face painting, is with instructional videos. The obvious benefit over books is that you can actually see how something is done in a video, as apposed to just reading about it.
But sometimes, if you’ve already got some face painting skills, all you need is a little experience to help you build your confidence.
Would you like to know the quickest way to get lots of practice?
It’s simply this: Contact your local children’s school and offer to do free face painting for an afternoon. Now you may get turned down… but most likely, they will be very keen to let you do this if you aren’t charging anything. This is a powerful way to gain experience fast.

Airbrush Body Painting Festival
Extreme Celebrity Hairstyles
Well, she didn’t pull a complete Britney Spears shave, just half. Singer Cassie debuted a peculiar new hairstyle where she had half her head shaved clean and kept her long hair on the other half.
The half-shaved head has been the signature look for model and socialite Alice Dellal. In fact, “The Alice Dellal” hairstyle recently inspired the look of the Fall 2009 RTW collection of Issa. However, the models did not shave their head; instead, an illusion of the style was achieved with hairspray and bobby pins.
Well, it’s not an illusion in the case of Cassie though, as she explained on her blog: “Yeah, I did it. They ask why?? LOL B/C I WOKE UP AND FELT LIKE IT!!!”
“Sometimes in life, you need a change,” pondered the 22-year-old singer. “Something that displays the ‘I don’t give a fג attitude that was always present, but never showcased. Something deeper than what you thought you were capable of. And something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR.”
Can you spot the lady body in this illusion

Easy Face Painting Design
Children love to paint the face, they are fascinated by watching others get their faces painted and look forward to seeing their picture on the front. My daughter's fifth birthday approaching and I was desperately wanting a crash course on how to do it myself, I would not want to hire a makeup artist for my party.
The key is to start with simple face painting designs. The drawing of the face should be easy enough to be able to use small mushrooms, cut into circles, triangles, squares, diamonds, ATMs in the face painting and place it on your skin and leaves a basic design you can build on, or end with a small peak, low light, or shadows. Use a different sponge for each color, you'll need more mushrooms in the same design for each color you use.
