To begin, sketch out the contours of the pattern with eyeliner, try to achieve maximum symmetry. Then start coloring the selected fragments.
Images of animals
Sly little foxes, tigers, brave wolves, cute, good-natured dogs or kittens are perfect for a festive evening. Use more bright, light shades in your makeup.
Try to portray the face of a cute cat. To do this, highlight the area above the eyebrows and around the mouth with white makeup. Using a thin brush, paint the whiskers and fur. Line the eyes with black, giving them a slightly elongated, oblong shape, like a cat’s. Be sure to highlight the tip of the nose with black or pink.
Superheroes
For boys 10–12 years old, the role of a superhero is suitable. Having purchased the appropriate outfit, start applying makeup. Your task is to portray a Superman mask. To do this, highlight the middle part of the face in red, making the contours bold, as in the original film. It is recommended to use blue, red, yellow colors.

Decorate the corners of your eyes with purple, pink or blue shadows, add glitter - and the Little Mermaid is ready.
