All designs are created using our Monotint 6 Piece Book Week Face Paint Kit and you can customise your design to any colour you wish.

Look 1 - Cat
1. Using a sponge and the white paint, paint a semi-circle above the lips.
2. With your first chosen colour, using a sponge or brush apply it to the bottom part of face.
3. Then with your second chosen colour apply it to the upper part of the face with the childās eyes closed, using the sponge to blend smoothly. Or just apply the one colour!
4. Use a baby wipe to clean up the edges if you need to, but they donāt need to be perfect.

Dog Face Paint
This one is great for kidlets who cannot sit still for long, or a last minute order for busy parents!
1. Starting with a sponge and white paint, dab the paint from the mid-forehead to the top of the lip, widening as you approach the lip to align with the outer corners of the lips.
- 2. Then using a sponge or brush paint the shape of the brown ears.Ā
- 3. Optional: mixing red + white paint and a small brush or edge of the sponge, paint the inner ears.
- 4. Using the same red or pink paint, draw the tongue shape from the lip to mid chin.

5. With black paint and a small brush, outline the ears on the forehead trying to get them similar on each side. You can always use a baby wipe to take off one side and reapply the base and try again.
6. Outline the tuff of hair in the middle of the ears and the cheeks to define the white paint.
7. Then paint the nose, create a thin line between the middle nose and lip, upper lip and outline the tongue.
8. Add in the dog freckles and you are done!Ā
