Face & Body Art How to and Tips: Guess Who??

When we picture body art the first term that ties in with body painting is face painting.

The most commercial form of face painting is the regular old face painting party or event, kid’s parties being the most common with fairy motifs, Spiderman and other super hero designs and the odd clown face here and there.

I’d like to introduce a simple face painting idea that doesn’t involve highly intricate designs and over the top swirls and glitter (which by all means is absolutely a fun way to decorate), however a simple and easy body art disguise for a themed party using Mont Marte Body paint and art supplies. These inspirations are a quick painting job for that emergency party idea, but of course effective for a few laughs. 

I’m going to leave it up to you to tell me who this party disguise is based on?? Hints are written below.

Materials needed;

• Face (imperative for face painting)
• Mont Marte Acrylic Gallery series brushes
• Mont Marte Body Art Kit- Bright

Tips when starting a face painting job;

1. When searching for face painting materials we always consider the safety of putting paint on our little noggins so one should always look for a water-soluble, non toxic, cosmetic grade art kits like the Mont Marte range. 
2. Use fresh clean water when starting a new job.
3. Wash your hands or use antibacterial wipes.
4. Avoid areas like the eyes as these are the most sensitive. 
5. The great thing about these art supply materials is that they easily wash off with soapy water so keep a towel handy.
6. Map out your design on a drawing prior, or use a reference image. Being such a simple design the drawing is probably not needed, however this is a great tool to know what colours you need and is a great practicing tool before painting a real life model.
