I know I’ve told you before… I paint myself for pretty much EVERY job where I am face painting. It gives people an idea of what I can paint, that it is suitable for adults, and gets me a good parking spot.
These two are from Christmas parties I did last month… photos were taken after I got home and changed. Sometimes I forget to take photos before I wash off the make-up… I did that a few times so didn’t get photos of all this Christmas season’s paintings.
These are both fast designs with minimal fussing – just slapped them on so I was painted. My eyes are going and it is REALLY hard to see things close-up now, so I am not spending time on details or eyeliner anymore. Just too hard to do without magnifying glasses and I can’t wear them to paint my face!
This I did for the End of the World Party – simple eye design that appeals to adult women. I do LOTS of this sort of thing in different animal prints. Super quick and easy.

I’m right there with you about seeing up close! I have a friend (about 20 years younger), and she always has the greatest designs on her face… designs I can do but not on my own face! I wish I would have gotten into face painting at a younger age! I agree that painting your own face is almost a “must” at gigs but I sweat from the head & it doesn’t take long before my face is streaked! The weird thing is I forget I’m painted – eventually someone tells me, “Lady, your face is all messed up!” Not to mention wrinkles… horrible little things!
Yeah… that happened to me for the first time this past summer… had wipe off my forehead which then made the kids ask what was I supposed to be. I wasn’t expecting it to be so hot out!
