Face Paint Ideas When Starting Your Business

Sharing is caring!

It might never have even occurred to you that face painters could earn so much money until you’ve booked one for your own child’s party.

While you can indeed earn good rates, however, that doesn’t mean that money comes easily. There’s also the fact that many hours are unpaid, such as those spent on advertising and taking bookings etc. Face painting and coming up with face paint ideas, however, is an extremely satisfying experience. And working with families and children is a blessing.

Of course, one aspect of your job is to make a party memorable. It’s hard to top the silence and anticipation of kids waiting in the queue to be transformed into a brand new character.

Stencils for Boys

This is a nice and easy one for beginner face painters. All you need to do is apply a lot of paint to your sponge, and dab away. The Snazaroo stencil set for boys is a great choice for both genders, and includes such classic favourites as rockets, knights, and racing cars.

Stencils for Girls

A girl might want designs such as a crown or mermaid. Or they might want to be made over to look like a princess. Again, Snazaroo comes to the rescue, as their Fantasy face paint stencil set is perfect for the job.

Butterfly Face Painting

An extremely popular choice, you can customise this to a child’s favourite colours. It isn’t difficult to apply either. You start by roughly sponging on the wings before making the design look more impressive with butterfly outlines. Add some glitter, and you have a fantastic butterfly look.

Tiger Face Painting

For some strange reason, it appears to be only those under eight-years-old who really appreciate this popular choice at events, parties, and fairs. Even the most inexperienced of face painters can pull off this simple design. Just be aware that you might be left quaking in your boots when faced with your masterpiece afterwards.

Snowflakes and Frozen Face Painting

A great one for those under seven, do make sure you include a lot of blue and white face paint, as well as an abundance of glitter. You’ll find this one high in demand. Fortunately, it’s incredibly easy to achieve.

Camo Soldier Face Painting

Another easy one, but here you’ll look like a real professional. Your little recruits will turn into combat soldiers, thanks to you applying this technique. You’ll need three sponges and the right green muddy and sludgy colours, and it’ll work like a charm.

Flowers Face Painting

This might be simple, but it’s equally as stunning. Don’t skimp on the quality of brush, and you’ll be equipped to produce some great floral designs. Draw the petals by using the brush’s shape side on. Your stunning design will be staring back at you in a matter of moments. Flowers are also a great choice for little ones who just can’t seem to sit still.

Zombie Face Painting

While this is a great one for kids for Halloween, it also works for older boys looking to join in the fun. Full of horror and gore, yet easy to do, you’ll have Walking Dead fans looking on in awe.

Pirates Face Painting

Shiver your timbers, as you pull out your treasure chest of hearty face paints. If a kid isn’t wearing a bandana, you can always paint one on them. It’ll be a pirate’s life for anyone wearing this design.

Puppy Face Painting

If kittens aren’t proving to be a popular choice at the party, then it’s likely that puppies are. This isn’t one of the easiest designs to get right, as the tongue can go horribly wrong. The solution is to either paint that last or omit it altogether. Do that, and you’ll be left with one very happy dog.

Hello Kitty Face Painting

Hello Kitty is known for her hair ribbon and cute looks, and is predictably a popular choice for children. It’s also an easy one for painters to apply. Don’t overly-concern yourself with having the white look absolutely perfect. Remember that other guests at the party will mostly see these designs at a distance, so perfection isn’t necessary at all.

Conclusion

Whatever designs you decide to include in your bag of tricks, all you need to do to start is to pack your sponge and brush and take your creative brain to the party, as you transform children’s faces and smiles, and become the hero of the hour.
