Add A Sparkle To Your Old Face Painting Design

Face painting is a great way to celebrate special occasions like birthday parties, reunions and the holidays. With a fun face painting design, your kids can enjoy being tigers, princesses or vampires for the day. If you want out-of-the-ordinary results use other materials besides the basic paint. This article will show you some information about body glitter and jewelry and how to use them to boost your face painting design.

Glitter

Here are some of the things glitter can do for your face painting design:

-Adding dimension - the sheen created by glitter gives your finished product a rounded effect.

- Adds interest - glitter can be used to emphasize a certain spot on the face such as the nose or the eyes.

- Exudes a magical look - glitter is perfect for fantastical themes like fairy and dragon designs.

Here are kinds of glitter for face painting:

- Loose glitter - is glitter you can apply on the skin while it is still moist with water or paint. It can come in a variety of colors, which can be metallic or iridescent. Loose glitter is great for emphasizing certain parts of your face painting design since they tend to have a coarser grain and therefore more reflective effect or "sparkle."

- Gel glitter - is a type of liquid glitter that sticks like a glue, only with glitters in it. Use this type of glitter to trace over the fine lines of your face painting design, as it is more convenient and gives cleaner results.

- Powder glitter - has finer grains that literally has the texture of powder. These grains tend to be so fine that they easily stick on moist skin. It is best to use powder glitter on large areas of the face for that "pearly" effect.

Here's how you can apply glitter:

- To achieve an even and an all-over glittery effect, simply dip a moist sponge in some glitter and dab over the face with gentle, sweeping motions.

- When tracing over fine lines, use only a fine brush. Wet the brush with water and pat with fingers to squeeze out excess water. Dip the brush into glitter and sweep over details in abrupt motions.

Skin jewelry:

There are also stick-on jewelry that can be used with basic face painting design in order to add more texture. Skin jewelry is:

- Not costly - skin jewelry can be found in a crafts shop, department store or online. They are often made of plastic so they usually cost close to nothing.

- Easy to use - all you have to do is peel the back of the jewel and stick on the skin.

- Reusable - skin jewelry have kinds that can be put on, taken off and then applied again.

- Very Versatile - skin jewelry is best loved for its versatility and the fact that it can come in a variety of shapes, colors, textures and styles.

A beautiful face painting design usually doesn't require expensive material. All you really need to add more dimension and texture to a basic design is by simply using glitter and stick-on jewelry. Proper usage is easy to accomplish and can give you more than just the usual face painting design.
