Step by Step Princess Face Paint
Princess can be painted in many forms and is extremely suitable to make an easy variation yourself. This guide will help you step by step to face paint a princess , even if you are just a beginner.
Step 1
With a sponge we start applying golden eyeshadow for this princess face paint. The cheekbones also get a little golden face paint.
Step 2
With light pink face paint and a face paint brush we make a graceful heart on the forehead. Tip: Start by putting two small dots: one where the top of the heart starts and one where the point ends. These dots ensure that the heart is exactly in the middle of the forehead and becomes nicely symmetrical.
Step 3
Use a brush with white face paint to add five elegant teardrops under the heart. Start with the largest one in the middle and gradually let the drops get smaller towards the sides.
Step 4
Using the same brush and white face paint, we create graceful curls: one above the eyebrow, one along the brow bone, and one from the outer corner of the eye that runs towards the cheekbone.
Step 5
We repeat these curls on the other side of the face for a symmetrical effect. Above the curl along the cheekbone, we add two more graceful teardrops. To finish the design, we fill in the open spaces with a few small dots. Think of locations such as just above the eyebrow and in the outer corner of the eye. This gives the whole a playful and refined look!
Step 6
Using dark pink face paint, outline the heart, the top of the curl above the eyebrow, and the outside of the bottom teardrops and curl.
Step 7
I decided to make an extra teardrop next to the heart.
Step 8
This one was also outlined in dark pink.
Step 9
We complete the design by adding 5 more teardrops above the heart, creating a graceful look. Below the teardrops, below the heart, we place a line of 3 small dots for extra detail. Finally, we also add a line of 3 dots in the inner corner of the eye, giving it a beautiful finish.
