How to: Cat Face Paint Tutorial
by Andrea of Painted Parrot Face Painting
First off I really want to stress the importance that PROFESSIONAL COSMETIC GRADE paint is used, that (if possible) we include a disclaimer that even though acrylics say “non-toxic,” they are not FDA approved or ever safe to be used on the face or skin as they can cause horrible horrible allergic reactions. Same goes for glitter needing to be cosmetic grade, as craft glitter can scratch the face from its rough dense texture during removal or even worse get in the eye and cause serious damage or blindness since it is sharp enough to cut.
Cat Face Paint Step-by-Step:
1. Sponge your colour of choice above your mouth, along your nose, and over the eye lids: White and light greys work nicely!
2.Using a sponge load up a dark colour of choice and fill in the cheeks, forehead, and extend two triangles for ears at the top of your design
3. Using a (round) brush fill the inside of the ears white
4. Using Black paint and a brush make an upside down triangle on the nose tip for a cute kitty nose! Finish it up with a thin line down the philtrum (middle area above your lip)
5. GLAM IT UP! This is where you can give your cat some dots, muzzle outline, eye lashes, or even strips if you wanted
6. Outline the design with your brushing using black paint. This will give your cat face its shape by showing off the ears, and adding fur like texture to the top of the design and cheeks
7. Add whiskers with a fine brush
8. Using white face paint and a fine brush, add some highlights around the whiskers, nose, and top of the design. Feel free to add more dots and swirls too for extra effect.
9. Apply cosmetic glitter and chunky glitter
