Cool Face Paint Ideas

Face painting is a creative way to express yourself on holidays or at fairs, parties and other events. There are many cool face painting ideas that can add artistic flair to costumes for Halloween or theatrical productions and to festive outfits for other occasions. You can also use face paint on an average day just for fun.
  1. Bald Eagle

    • Face painter Mark Reid created a design that would be perfect for the Fourth of July. Paint a profile view of a bald eagle on one side of your face. Position the bald eagle just right so that his eye is also your eye. Add detail to the bald eagle's facial expression. Make sure to paint a closed bald eagle eye on your eye lid so that it looks like the bald eagle's eye is closed when yours is.

    Elegant Witch

    • First paint your face with a glittery or sparkly white. Then paint over it with a light green. Paint spiderwebs on the side of your face using black paint and a glittery yellow outline and paint a cute spider crawling up your nose. Paint extensions on your eyebrows so that they flow outwards. Paint your lips black. The result is an elegant and pretty witch instead of the typical scary and ugly witch.

    Fish Kisses

    • This is an adorable idea for a couple to try out. Both partners should have their faces painted blue with bubbles sporadically placed all over the face. You can add coral and other ocean plants as long as it is not too distracting or busy. One partner would get a fish painted on the right side of her face and the other would get the same type of fish design painted on the left side of his face.The fish should be painted from a profile view and positioned so that the person's mouth is also the fish's mouth. The couple can then take photographs of the two fish kissing. If one of the partners opens his mouth or looks angry, it will look like one fish is trying to eat or attack the other one. This could be a fun design to play around with.
