Face Painting Fun!!!

I have had the best time face painting the last few days... not to say it's my new following but a definite positive add-on!!! Last week I practiced a few cat faces for an event I was commissioned to. It was a high school homecoming fair and their school mascot is a green saber (or sabre as they spell it), and I knew I had to follow a cat theme.

  

Being the crazy cat lady that I am, I attempted their mascot and my own little blue kitty face.  

 For the event day, I got my cute handcrafted apron and rainbow face accent (and my Boy for support)and headed off to 4 hours of meeting, greeting, a painting: 

I painted enough green paws to last a lifetime...

Even a teeny baby one!

I also did my share of super heroes!!!

I love that my super heroes were mostly girls!!!

I really enjoyed doing these... tested my detail skills!!!

And the extent of my "cat theme", was dwindled down to 3...

This pretty blue kitty was my first of the day and my favorite... I had the time for detail and favor!!! This sweet little gal loved it... We saw her flaunting it all day long! :)

I hope you all enjoyed these fun faces because I really enjoyed doing them. There were so many painted faces that day, I wish I would've photographed everyone!!!

Alexis the Face Painting Girl

As some of you may know, my makeup career began years ago when I was an actress!In high school I was very involved in the drama program and learned a few theatre makeup tricks... but it wasn't until college that I took a Stage Makeup class that I knew I loved the makeup thing. As much as I love the beauty/bridal/fashion makeup; I love (a little more) the freedom of fantasy makeup! And, I think that's why I am really enjoying face painting. I am able to use my theatre background and love of children to make little tiny works of art. This is something I am really looking forward to doing just as often as beauty makeup. Being able to do both would be the perfect balance for me of fun and work. 

I am currently using Mehron face paint and Silly Farm Rainbow Cake! 

If you, or anyone you know, are in South Florida and would like to book me for face painting (or beauty makeup), 

please contact me on my Facebook page @alexisthemakeupgirl 

...in the meantime here are 2 face painting looks I worked on last week... a little something for the girls and boys!!!
