Simple Face Painting Designs
One of the biggest benefits of cheek art is saving time. In a fraction of the time, you can paint a small design or character on a child’s cheek or arm and generate the same kind of impact that you would if you were to spend a lot more time painting an elaborate full face design.
The big advantage of simple face painting is flexibility. Small designs can be adapted and painted not only on the face and cheek, but also on the neck, shoulder, legs and arms. A rose or other flower will look beautiful painted on the shoulder. A colorful snake slithering up the arm looks amazing.
Here are some things you can do to create simple face painting designs for your kids or anyone dressing up:
2. A clown face is a very simple face painting design. And since clowns can be happy, sad, silly or goofy, this one simple design with a few adjustments around the mouth is a great face painting design to have in your arsenal. A bright red nose, a larger than life red mouth (paint around the outside of the lips), large white area surrounding the red mouth, oversized eyebrows and some eye lines that extend from the outside of the eye toward the temples altogether make a simple clown face painting design that will get rave reviews.
3. Turning a little girl into a fairy princess is as simple as a few feathery lines around the eyes, starbursts at the end of each line and a bit of glitter.
4. Painting a pretend bracelet or necklace is a simple design yet very unique. Start by painting pearl sized dots around the wrist or neck and “dangle” a painted heart, peace sign or other “charm” from the painted “jewelry.”
5. Try a simple rainbow face painting…a classic, but always popular. Paint red, yellow, green and blue ‘horseshoe’ shapes and add two little white puffs for clouds at the end of each side of the rainbow. Voila! A happy kid!
6. At Thanksgiving, the most popular face painting will no doubt be for Indian war paint, to remember the Native Americans who participated in the first Thanksgiving Dinner.
The possibilities for simple face painting designs are endless. Don’t get caught up with the elaborate work that professional face painters do. For a single holiday celebration, birthday party, volunteer event or just having fun with your kids, simple face painting designs can be just the thing to put a smile on a kids’ face.
