You will find big costs discounts out there if you know where you should look and it's a piece of cake to apply! Glitter is effective with 'princess' and 'fantasy' styles and little ones really like them! As with face paint, you need to be sure you only use glitter and stick on jewels that are safe to use on a consumers skin area (eg. body glitter) Don't use aluminum glitter - polyester only. Aluminum glitter can easily harm the face and skin area.

You will find several types of glitter - Glitter Gel, Glitter (Iridescent) Powders and Glitter Dust. I suggest you use them all out and see what one works best for an individual.

2. Stick - On - Jewels: Stick on jewels can also add a totally new dimension to your face painting, transforming your face paintings for amateur to pro. And they are very easy to use even kids is capable of doing it. Basically remove the back of the jewel and stick the 'sticky' part of the jewel directly onto the skin or onto the paint that's on the skin. There you have it!

3. Mixing Makeup with Face Painting: Merging cosmetic makeup with face painting is one of the many excellent face painting ideas if done right and it can help you save time! For example Blush may be used to create rosy cheeks on a bunny rabbit instead utilizing pink face paint. Blush creates a softer color and is swift to apply. Eye Liner Pencil may be used to outline the eyes or any part of a design. For novices it is much quicker and simpler than using a brush. Eye Shadow can also be used and possibly mixed with paint to the face.It's up to you!

Try things out with these various mediums and find out what's best for you, what you like to make use of and what you believe looks most effective!

4. Body Painting to Match the Face Painting: Little ones love this idea, believe me - I've attempted it many a time, it makes them feel like they have a costume on and actually lets them have fun with the character they've been painted whether it be a little princess or vampire! Even though this might sound like it's difficult and will take up heaps of time - it's not going to. As long as you keep them simple.

For example if you are painted a pretty pink princess or queen face design, why don't you enhance it with a pretty pink bracelet. All you do is take some pink paint, and paint using a brush, a line around the wrist. It really is that simple, simply use fantasy!

5. Costumes and Face Painting: Costumes and face painting, its fun no matter exactly what age you might be! And it can be quite effortless too, the costumes don't have to be outrageous. Try a pair of bunny ears to go with a bunny design, or a a pretty tiara to match a princess. How about a black cape to go with a vampire design or a stocking filled with newspaper, pinned on the end of your t-shirt to look like a tale to match a tiger design?
