Hello everyone! Halloween is super duper close (I don’t know about you- but it totally snuck up on me!). I fell head over heels for this sassy, yet classy leopard halloween face paint design and totally had to share it with you guys. The lovely model is one of my closest friends who was awesome enough to rock this look- how pretty is she? Whether you’re going for cute or creepy, complete your Halloween look with Tulip® Body Art®!

Tulip® Body Art® offers an extensive variety of professional-quality paint, glitter, hair and even black light products for Halloween and so much more! You can create any look you can dream up with just a few colors. The brushes included with the face paint were so good that I stashed them away for nail art- Tulip did a great job with the quality!

Let’s get started!

1. Paint the nose: Using the black paint and the small brush included (which works PERFECTLY), simply drag the line down to the top of the lip and then shade around the front of the nose.

2. Add the brown leopard print: To add the fun themed print, apply the brown paint in random spots around half of the face. Be sure to “fade” out the dots, by adding a few sparse marks a bit further than half-way- this way the pattern flows more naturally!

3. Outline the leopard print: Going back to the black paint, add rough curved lines around the brown dots- this will add SOO much to the look. The best part? It doesn’t have to be perfect- the leopard print looks better when it’s done messy. I even added a few spots along the brow bone/eye area for a more complete design.

4. Apply lipstick: Any lipstick would look fabulous with this (even black!)- but red seemed fitting for the occasion. Lip color can transform any look, no matter how simple- doesn’t it look great?

The secret to this design is layers. Don’t over-think it or try to make it perfect – the irregularities in your pattern will make it authentic.
