Halloween is fun both for adults and young kids. If you've enjoyed painting pumpkins

with your family and friends, you will surely enjoy face painting during this special occasion. You can scare the wits out of young kids and even adults if you paint

scary faces once they knock on your door and ask the same old line “trick or treat.”

Here are some excellent ideas for Halloween face painting.

Pumpkin – you can paint a pumpkin on both sides of your cheeks. The

pumpkin should be bright orange in color. The nose, mouth, and eyes can be painted in black. The outline and ridges of pumpkin design should be

light grey.

If you want, you can make your whole face look like a pumpkin. The base

should be orange and for the cheekbones, you have to apply a darker shade of orange. Make a triangle shape

over your eyes and paint it black. For your lips and nose, you must paint it

black as well.

Skull – the skull design should occupy the whole face. The base should be white and after you've painted the white paint, you can paint a bright red color for the lips. Make an outline of fangs on both sides of your mouth in light grey. The

fill should be white and the tip should be painted in red so that it will look like blood. Use smoky grey for the eye lids and exaggerate your eye brows with sweeping strokes in black color.

Bat – make a bat design over your whole face. Just like the skull design, use white color as base. Above your nose and

your forehead, paint the face of the bat in black and light grey for the eyeballs. The body of the bat should be painted over

your nose ending at the nostril's base. Use different shades of black for the body. The wings cover your eyes and your mid-cheek. You can paint some definitions by using light grey on the wings. Over your lips, paint exaggerated curls upward to

the corners. Use your imagination and you can create a realistic bat design.
