Adding Sparkle To Your Face Painting Design
No special celebration and occasion is without some kind of face painting. With a fun face painting design, your kids can enjoy being tigers, princesses or vampires for the day.

This article will show you some information about body glitter and jewelry and how to use them to boost your face painting design.
Glitter
Here are some of the things glitter can do for your face painting design:
-New dimension - the sheen created by glitter gives your finished product a rounded effect.
- Visually interesting - glitter can be used to emphasize a certain spot on the face such as the nose or the eyes.
- Adds a magical touch - glitter is perfect for fantastical themes like fairy and dragon designs.
Kinds of glitter:
- Loose glitter - is best applied while the skin is still moist with paint or water. It can come in a variety of colors, which can be metallic or iridescent. Loose glitter is great for emphasizing certain parts of your face painting design since they tend to have a coarser grain and therefore more reflective effect or "sparkle."
- Gel glitter - is a type of liquid glitter that sticks like a glue, only with glitters in it. Use this type of glitter to trace over the fine lines of your face painting design, as it is more convenient and gives cleaner results.
- Powder glitter - is powder-like in texture. These grains tend to be so fine that they easily stick on moist skin. It is best to use powder glitter on large areas of the face for that "pearly" effect.
Some tips on how to apply glitter:
-To get an even, glittery look, just dip a moist sponge in some glitter and softly dab over the face in gentle, sweeping motions.
- When tracing over fine lines, use only a fine brush. Wet the brush with water and pat with fingers to squeeze out excess water. Dip the brush into glitter and sweep over details in abrupt motions.
