Face Painting Techniques and Tips – How To Paint The Skull Design
Face painting has gained tremendous popularity in recent years especially in children birthday parties and carnivals. What used to be an indulgence has become a common activity in bringing loads of fun and joy at family and friends gathering .
The Skull in particular is a popular design at Halloween parties. In this article, I offer some techniques on how to paint a Skull.
Face Painting Tools needed:
• Water based face paint that is FDA approved. Snazaroo is a good choice
• One fine brush, preferably number 2
• One medium brush, preferably number 4
• One large brush, preferably number 8
• One jug of warm water
• One form makeup sponge
• One towel and some wet wipes
• Face Glitter
Step 1: Apply The Base Coat
Begin by applying white paint over the entire face using the sponge to form the base coat. Cover the lips with white paint as well. You can leave out the area around the eyes since we are going to put a different color paint on it later.
Step 2: Hollow It Out
To create the skull’s eyes and nose, take the black paint by using the medium brush and paint under the eyebrow, underneath the eye and go over the eyelid. Do not paint a circle shape. It should look more like a rectangle with rounded corners. Let each layer dry before you start a new step.
Next, paint two teardrop shapes on the bridge of the nose, running parallel to each other.
To hollow out the skull, apply black paint on the temple. Then have your subject suck in the cheeks so you could trace under the bone to create the impression that the cheeks weren’t there. Use tap-and-blend techniques along the way to achieve greater results.
Step 3: The Skull Teeth
Paint directly onto the lips to create the skull teeth. First paint the lips with a black outline and then complete it with the fine brush. The upper teeth should be painted bigger than the lower ones. Add more white paint on the teeth to make them more pronounced.
Step 4: Final Touchup
You may use a fine brush and some black paint to create some crack lines effect on the various parts of the face. Take note not to overdo it. A light touch will be good enough.
You should have a pretty scary skull design using the tips above.
