Things You'll Need:

- Cosmetic Grade Glitter
- stick on jewels
- (optional)
- cotton swab
- cup of water
- 2 chairs
- cloth

Step 1
Drag the brush from side to side.Step 1 Have the child sit in one of the chairs. You sit in front of her.
Step 2 Dip the paint brush into water and drip a few drops onto the paint. Stroke the brush back and forth until the brush is fully loaded with face paint. The face paint should have a thick consistency. Practice a stroke on your wrist to test if you like. -
Step 2
Painted eyelids and jewel.Step 3 Tell child to close their eyes and put your hand on her head to steady both of you. Use your little finger to steady your hand.
Step 4 Start by outlining the lid up to the eyebrow and along
lashes, then fill in GENTLY! Paint a diamond shape on her forehead. You can use any color you like. -
Step 3
Outline Jewel Shape and Eyelids.Step 5 Rinse off brush and load the brush again with white. Again you can use any color, but white or a pale color to outline works best (I think).

three teardrop shapes coming from the corner of each eye.
Step 6 Paint a long swirl over each eyebrow. Paint an upside down "hook" shape on either side of the "jewel".
Paint a teardrop shape in between the "hook" and the brow swirl. Now, outline the "jewel".
Step 7 Paint the lips. -

Step 9 Use the other end of the cotton swab to clean up any
