Children's face painting

For the youngest guests of the Halloween masquerade, it is recommended to use face painting, i.e. harmless hypoallergenic paints for skin. Believe me, the child will enjoy this drawing process, and the transformation into a kitten itself will bring a lot of pleasure.

Applying a drawing to the face is not a difficult task, so even those adults who cannot call themselves artists can cope with it. This body art is done in several steps:

1. 
   
   
   
   Above the child’s upper lip, use white paint to draw the base for a cat’s face.
2. Paint the tip of the nose with black paint.
3. We draw a thin strip from the nose down to the upper lip, and round off the lines around the white base. The result was cat cheeks.
4. We will draw dots and antennae on them.
5. The bridge of the nose can also be painted white.
6. Now we can draw the kitten’s face itself.
7. We draw the outlines of the ears above the eyebrows, draw a tongue on the lower lip, and highlight the fur and ears in black. By the way, you can choose any color of wool.

The color and shape of the muzzle is a matter of taste. It can be plain, striped or spotted.

At the same time, you need to take into account that the shade and texture you choose matches the suit as a whole. For example, if you chose leopard print, then a tiger stripe suit will not be the best option.

Below we have presented a selection of photos of face painting for children, which will help you choose the appropriate motif for the image of a cat for Halloween.

The final touch is a Halloween cat costume and accessories.

There can be several options for a catwoman costume, and all of them will look impressive and bright at any carnival. The following dress models are considered the most popular:

1. Catwoman a la Michelle Pfeiffer. Those who saw Tim Burton's film masterpiece "Batman Returns" probably remember Catwoman's seductive latex costume. To recreate this look, you'll need a black, fitted jumpsuit in a glossy fabric with a long zip at the front.

You can replace it with tight black pants and a turtleneck. Don't forget to sew white stripes all over the suit. A mask, black gloves (preferably with fake nails glued on top) and long heeled boots will complete the outfit.

2. Heroine Halle Berry. The image of Catwoman from the film of the same name differs in a couple of details: instead of a jumpsuit, she wears black tight-fitting trousers (you can replace them with leggings), a black latex bra with wide straps and long gloves. You need to tie two black belts around your waist, and put a black half mask on your head, which can be sewn from leather or black glossy fabric. Complete this look with long heeled boots and a whip.

3. An Anne Hathaway-inspired cat look from Black Knight Rises. For this one, you'll also need a black catsuit (or leggings and a turtleneck), heeled boots, gloves, a black leather belt and a masquerade mask.

A distinctive feature of this image is the cat ears, which can be made from two cardboard triangles, vinyl overlays and clips. A unique highlight will be a toy pistol, which will add brutality to the image.

Let's add that one of the popular options for a Halloween look is the hero of Carroll's book - the Cheshire Cat. The makeup of this image is distinguished by a peculiar “smile”.

If you don’t want to copy already famous movie characters, you can try to create your own version of this image. Don't be afraid to experiment with costumes, makeup and... accessories, which will be discussed later.

So, with accessories the matter is simple. They can be selected from the following list:

1. 
   
   
   
   Lenses. If you have the opportunity, you can order “cat” lenses in the online store.
2. Tail. This attribute of a cat costume is quite popular. Making it yourself is quite possible. To do this, you will need black fabric, from which you will sew the tail. You can insert wire inside it to give the desired shape.
3. Ears. They can be made from cardboard, flexible plastic, vinyl or thick leather fabric. You can attach them in different ways, for example, on a hoop or on hair clips. One option is a cape with decorative ears.

Manicure. If you're not wearing black gloves, you can simply paint your nails black. Do you have short nails? No problem. Just stick on artificial tips. It is desirable that they are sharp and as long as possible.

Options hairstyles maybe several. You can put your hair in a ponytail or let it down, straightening it with a special hair straightener. If you have short hair, just style it neatly.

Follow the above recommendations, and your costume will stand out noticeably and brightly against the backdrop of the “evil spirits” outfits for Halloween. The image of a catwoman in itself is mystical and mysterious, so it will come in handy at a carnival party on All Saints' Day.
