Here are some great free face painting ideas that will make you a big hit at your next party or event!
When painting the face, don’t stop with the face, include the body painting as well. This is always a hit. Kids go crazy for body painting. This is great because it makes the kids feel like they are wearing a costume and they really have fun with the character they have been painted into. Whether you are a king or a witch, this idea does not fail when it comes to pleasing the young. And don’t worry about how long this may take. Just keep it simple, short and sweet and it’s so easy!
Another one of the free face paint ideas is for you to try mixing and wearing makeup with your face paint. Taking some cosmetic makeup and combining it with face paint is an amazing idea. You can use blush to create rosy cheeks on a princess or pencil eyeliner to create whiskers on a cat. Creative use of makeup and in combination with face paint can save you time and effort. Beginners may also find this easier than using paint on certain designs. Just try and experiment with different cosmetics to find the one that works best for you.
A whole new and amazing dimension to add to your face painting routine that has been tried and tested is the use of sticky jewels. The great thing about adhesive jewels is that they are simple and incredibly effective. Kids love these and it enhances the look of any face paint from hobbyist to professional. They are also very simple to use. Simply peel off the paper backing and apply to the desired area. This is one of the best and most effective free face painting ideas.
Try wearing costumes with your face paint for an amazing combination that delights every time! Finding simple costumes is the key to this favorite of all free face painting ideas. You don’t have to go all out and spend a lot of money. That is not necessary at all.
Some costume ideas:
• A simple black cape for a vampire.

• A paper or plastic tiara for a princess
• Stripes painted on the shirts to look like a zebra or a tiger

And the last of the free face painting ideas is for you to use good old fashioned glitter! It’s simple, cheap and incredibly easy.
