It’s that time of the year again, when all the kiddies want to dress up for Halloween school party or for some trick or treating. We at bidorbuy have all the Halloween goodies and gear you require, such as adult costumes, kids’ costumes, face paints, wigs, masks, decor, and even scary Halloween sweeties.
Since we can offer you all these online, we thought we would give you some tips on how to finish off the final project with some great, very quick and easy face painting ideas for kids.
Firstly, try to avoid oil-based face paints. They smear, are more difficult to remove and clog the pores.
To start, dab a corner of a makeup sponge in water and start painting. Finish the look with glitz and sparkle! Only use non-toxic glitter. To apply, dip a tip of a paintbrush into water, dry off excess water on a cloth and dip it into the glitter, then apply to face.
