Halloween is the concise excuse for dressing up in something weird or wonderful, and face painting the perfect way to complete your costume. If you've never done any face painting before, these tips will help you get started thinking and planning.
Perhaps the most important thing is to use quality paints that have been tested to ensure they're safe and have been created for face painting. Face painting is a fun activity, and can be a very rewarding business, just make safety a fundamental part of how you're working.
There are many quality of safe face paint readily available, such as Snazaroo, Wolfe Brothers, Fardel, Mehron, and Kryolan. Look for it at art supplies stores, costume shops, and toy stores.
If you're utterly new to face painting, a basic ghost is a really easy design to paint. Lots of white as a base color, then some black around the eyes/tip of the nose, and a mean-looking sneer around the mouth can be very effective.
