Face Painting Ideas: Red Mardi Gras Mask

Video Transcript

"Okay, now this one that I'm starting out doing is going to be a creepy red Mardi Gras mask which is good for any type of Halloween party occasion, whatever. But I'm going to start with the red. Just go straight down the center of their face. Now, it's only going to be a partial face mask so nothing has to be a perfect line. Just make it as best as you can. You can use up as much of the face as you can that's exposed. Always pull around on the side of the nose. Just create some zigzag outlines. Like I said, nothing has to be perfect; just try to do it as clean as you can -- clean-lined as you can. Just fill in the spaces and try to keep the red as red as you can without it fading to a pink at least on a dude 'cause that's not always their bag. Filling in on the eyebrow, make sure you get it in there pretty good. Okay, just keep your eyes closed; and go right over them; for that really close Hollywood effect. Just be careful not to get in the eyes when you're going around them with the paintbrush; it's a little dangerous. And there you go for the first half that's just filling it in."
