Tips and masks for carnival
by Stefano on Feb.12, 2010, during Events
E’ now reached the carnival and we have not yet thought about what mask to wear for a nice evening with friends in the disco ? Or more simply.. after years of serious denial, and we decided to return children to celebrate for one evening with his face painted ? So why not try to pull off our artistic side and make a facepainting for a night when no one is who seems…
Making a facepaint is something within reach of anyone with a bit’ patience, material and an hour of time to spare.
The material:
- a white makeup pencil
- a black makeup pencil
- colors for the face-based water that you can find stores that sell items for the carnival, or supermarkets
- a sponge triangular lattice, which is sometimes also provided with the colors.
- accessories to enrich the trick that you have chosen, as false eyelashes, colored wigs and glitter.
After cleaning the face, preferably with a makeup remover, we can start to play with the white pencil drawing that we have chosen. The white pencil will be easier to remove than black and not make a mess in the case of corrections.
If you want a little manual or simply to take the first, you can print and cut out one of the designs you find below, and play along the edges.
It is therefore necessary that the picture occupies the entire face, but rather that it maintains the proportions.
Once we are happy with what we have done, using the black pencil, with a sudden strong and determined, and disclose it outlines the basic design of the mask.
Then, wetting the sponge first and passing it on waffles color, Then inside of the lines marked with a pencil, go to color patterned our design.
All done ? Tigrotto and gattino.. we are ready to quit !
