What You Will Need (Get started Face Painting)

1) Set of face paint (see our Face Paint Shop for a selection of different brands of paints and accessories)This can be a little bit overwhelming since there are tons of different suppliers.Some of the brands of professional face paint are reasonably priced and are much easier to use than the cheap acrylics. Stay away from the "craft paint" types of face paint and rather start out with a professional grade of face paint. Snazaroo for example offers a small startup palette at a reasonable price to get you going and you can order it online.

2) Set of soft paint brushes of various sizes. Again our online shop, or your local art supply store should be able to help in this regard.

3) Set of small throw away sponges and tissues and cotton wool. Ear buds andmatches or a small stick are also useful for making dots or fine lines.

4) A glass of water for the water soluble face paints.

5) A comfortable chair for your model and one for yourself, plus a small table for your supplies

6) A mirror to enable your model to view their face once completed.

7) Bucket of clean water, soap and a towel, for washing of any excess paint.

8) Why not list yourself as an artist on the website:Artistic Cafe offers free advertising and promotional services to creative people such as photographers, artists, musicians, models, actors, etc. Promote yourself, your art, a website, your company or services, all with direct links that will send interested viewers and traffic to your contact info.

9) If you are based in the USA then have a look at: Festival Network Online - Find craft shows, art festivals, and music festivals nationwide This is a site to find events in your area that may provide face painting opportunities. A basic listing is Free.

10) If you are already a face painter and you have your own website you may be looking for places to get free face painting links to your site. Our site is offering a Free Face Painting, Global Directory Listing for face painters from all over the globe.

11) One other item that is nice to have is some professional business cards. This Company: Vista Print Free Business Cards offers free cards, (for the simple designs) and are very reasonably priced for other better designs, plus they ship globally.
12) The Snazaroo website also has a page where face painters can submit their details. There is also a page where face painters can submit their work in competition.

Free Face Painting Designs and Ideas

The most common designs that kids love are varied and follow whatever is popular at the movies and on TV at the time. The old classics are animals, fairies, super hero's, scary monsters, butterflies, bugs Etc. Kids colouring in books are a great resource for simple designs. Also the favorite story books are also good since it is a familiar design that the child feels safe with, especially for young children. Some kids just don't like being painted at all and kind of feel like you are invading their space. Don't force these kids but rather see if they would like a small pattern or temporary tattoo on their hands or arms.

Here below are links to free designs, with step by step illustrations, to help you get going. In the examples given they use a "pencil" (some face paints come in stick forms kind if like different colour lipsticks) If you only have pots of paint use an ear bud or match head dipped in paint to start your lines.
