what designs do you paint on YOUR face
when my mom & i first started painting, i painted a butterfly over one eye at every festival/event. i stopped for a while but because we run into so many churches, schools, dance studios, etc. painting for free, i started painting my face again to draw more attention and to show that yes, i can paint the designs on my board. unlike the dance studio i saw this weekend that was using pictures i had seen on another face painters site somewhere. plus, i am really tired of painting all these wonderful faces, only to have the local newspapers of that town use pictures they took of the crappy craft paint faces done by someone else. i've put together a few face painting outfits-sorta costumes, not really a specific character or anything, to help draw attention (& hopefully some press of MY work). i need ideas for my own face...i am kinda tired of painting butterflies on myself. i usually wear a hot pink bandana around my head that has tiger-type stripes, so i've been painting all kinds of cats (tigers, kitties, etc.) on myself in neon colors. it looks really great & i get lots of compliments, but i'm just wondering what others painters paint on their faces? i think i'm stuck in a festival season rut & need some inspiration!!
Re: what designs do you paint on YOUR face
i normally do something along the flower lines. super quick, and a lot of times when kids see it they want it! you could do them to match whatever you're wearing. To match your bandana you could do pink & black flowers, but around the eye area to accomodate your bandana with the one between the eyes?

I don't often paint my face because I forget and smudge it, bad show LOL But when I do, it's usually something like this...I did this one in the front of my pickup truck as I arrived at an event LOL

I see I inspired someone else to do their hair pink LOL
I wear my costume makeup, but I'll sometimes paint flowers and butterflies on my left arm if I'm not wearing long sleeves.

Good lord my head is huge here LOL Smallers size next time. LOL And Perry, my hair was purple, but I went to BC and the salon only had pink, I love it, need to redo it as you can see. And now, even if I don;t have my face painted at an event, everyone says "You must be the facepainter!!" LOL

Re: what designs do you paint on YOUR face
I almost always paint myself. It's new design each time, but can be tricky if someone asks for what you have
Butterflies, tiger eyes, swirls, flowers, etc. Whatever I feel like that day.
If it's mega hot, I don't paint myself.
My profile pic is one I did before my restaurant gig.

The easier question would be what HAVEN'T I painted myself as...

Shannon, your Canada Flag-erfly is one of my fave designs. I might borrow it next year if you don't mind...well, I'll do my version (which means I'll try to copy it but butcher it so it will look like I put my own spin on it! LOL)

I can't paint the lower 1/2 of my face as I'll forget & touch it
I just paint my upper face.

Re: what designs do you paint on YOUR face
wow!!! lots of GREAT ideas! thanks everyone! i need to sit down & take some time to practice a new deisgn, but i'm trying to get everything ready for a very busy fri-sat-sun festival. as well as listening to the ATL braves game. i think trying to practice right now would yield some crazy/wild (not in a good way, lol) lines.
i really appreciate all the help! i get painters block a lot

that's a great leopard! i really like the muzzle area. i never thought about adding a pink line on top of the black nose. amazing what a small detail can add!
Re: what designs do you paint on YOUR face
very sorry...they are from the gallery, so i thought they would be smaller!!
Re: what designs do you paint on YOUR face
Perry Nola, my hair use to be pink! LOL I just bleached it out 2 months ago
I usually just do the eye design in my avatar. I recently did butterfly wings, but I don't have a good pic of it.
