Spring/Summer Inspired Theatrical Makeup Look- Flowers & Creatures- Face paint

Spring/Summer Inspired Theatrical Makeup Look- Flowers & Creatures- Face paint 

Hey Everyone,

I am extremely happy with how this makeup look came out. I really wanted to create something around the idea of exotic flowers and insects, I love the effect the dragon fly gives as the different shades of blue within the dragon fly really create a nice contrast in comparison to the rich, warm colours of the two flowers. I used a thin paint brush and created brisk strokes to convey the leaf/stalk splurging out from the flowers, for this I just used three different shades of green paint; a light, medium and dark tone. The paints I used for this look were the Snazaroo water based face & body paints. I really do recommend Snazaroo to anyone as they are cheap and such amazing quality (around £3.00 per paint). You can be as creative as you want with this look, you could always change the style of flower or choose to paint a different insect.. a lady bird or bumble bee for example. I think this look is super pretty for a summer fancy dress party!
