A little poppy practice from Armed Forces Day on Paignton Green ❤️

Simple, soft and meaningful — I loved how this arm design came together. Poppies are such a beautiful choice for Armed Forces Day, and they made a lovely alternative to a full face paint design.

Face painting doesn’t always have to be big and bold; sometimes the smaller designs are just as special.

Yesterday’s set-up at Armed Forces Day on Paignton Green 🎨✨

It was lovely to be out with Newton Abbot Face Painting, offering face painting, festival glitter and glitter tattoos for families enjoying the day.

I’m really pleased with how the event set-up is coming together now — bright, clear, easy to spot, and just about ready for whatever the Devon weather decides to do!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, chose a design, had a sparkle, or said hello. It’s always such a privilege to be part of community events like this.

Bringing smiles to every face ❤️

When your T-Rex is giving “tiny but mighty” energy 🦖

Another practice board design, and this one is perfect for little dinosaur fans who want something bold, bright, and full of attitude.

I’m working on building up a speedy selection of designs for busy parties and events — because apparently dinosaurs are always a popular request!

Green, fierce, and ready to roar 🎨

When your squirrel takes one look in the mirror and decides she’s actually a deer…

Still cute. Still woodland. Still going on the practice board again until she remembers who she is.

Face painting is all about learning, tweaking, and occasionally creating accidental new species along the way. This little woodland design is a work in progress, but I’m loving the autumn colours, fluffy cheeks and tiny acorn detail 🍂🐿️

Back to the brushes I go!

🌈 Colour, curves and creativity ✨

A design from the practice files that reminds me why I love face painting so much.

This piece combines bright rainbow colours, bold linework and metallic highlights to create something fun, vibrant and completely open to interpretation. Sometimes the most enjoyable designs aren’t characters or animals at all — they’re simply an opportunity to play with colour, shape and symmetry.

As many of you know, I don’t post photographs of children’s faces on my business page. Children’s privacy is important to me, so I’ve recreated this design on an adult model to showcase the artwork itself.

One of the things I love most about face painting is that no two designs have to be the same. Some people see flowers, some see wings, some see festival vibes — and that’s part of the magic.

What does this design make you think of? 🌈✨

⛵ Sailing into new designs! 🌊

A little practice piece on my practice head this evening.

As many of you know, I don’t post photographs of children’s faces on my business page. Children’s privacy is important to me, so most of the designs you see here are painted on my practice head instead.

This design features a sailing boat riding through ocean waves, with lots of white highlights and movement to bring the water to life. It was a fun change from the usual animals, superheroes and princess-inspired requests!

One of the things I enjoy most about face painting is that almost anything can become a design. Whether it’s a favourite animal, a beloved character, or something completely different like a boat at sea, there’s always a new challenge to try.

Every practice session helps me develop new techniques and build a wider range of designs for future events and parties.

🐉 Dragon practice from the archives! 🐉

This is one of the designs I’ve been revisiting recently as I continue building my portfolio and refining my techniques.

As many of you know, I don’t post photographs of children’s faces on my business page. Children’s privacy is important to me, so I’ve recreated this design on an adult model to showcase the artwork itself.

This dragon design combines bold greens, fiery orange accents, scales, horns and claws to create a fierce mythical creature that’s always a hit with children who love dragons, dinosaurs and fantasy characters. 💚🧡

I’ve had some very enthusiastic dragon fans choose this design over the years, and it’s one of those faces that instantly transforms the wearer into their character.

One of my favourite things about face painting is watching confidence grow the moment someone sees themselves in the mirror and becomes a dragon, tiger, superhero or mermaid for the day.

🌊✨ Seahorse sparkle ✨🌊

A little body art practice piece that I couldn’t resist sharing!

This colourful seahorse combines vibrant ocean colours, shimmering details, bubbles and plenty of glitter to create something magical and full of underwater charm. 🩵🩷

One of the things I love about face and body art is how a simple design can be transformed with colour blending, highlights and just the right amount of sparkle. The glitter on this one catches the light beautifully and really brings the whole piece to life.

I’ve had some excited sea-life lovers choose similar designs, and it’s always lovely seeing how much joy a colourful underwater creature can bring.

Would the ocean lovers in your family choose a seahorse, mermaid, dolphin or shark? 🌊🐚✨

🖤 Venom practice tonight! 🖤

A little superhero (or should that be supervillain? 😈) practice on my practice head this evening.

As many of you know, I don’t post photographs of children’s faces on my business page. Children’s privacy is important to me, so most of the designs you see here are painted on my practice head instead.

This Venom-inspired design focuses on the iconic eye, oversized teeth and dripping symbiote effect. It’s bold, dramatic and definitely one for the Marvel fans!

I’ve had some very enthusiastic requests for Venom at events, especially from children who want something a little more fierce than the usual animals and superheroes. The giant grin always gets a reaction! 🦷🖤

One of the things I love about face painting is the variety. One moment I’m painting flowers and mermaids, the next I’m creating villains with enormous teeth!

💙 Gotta paint fast! 💙

Another design from the practice files today, this time for the Sonic fans! 🎮

As a face painter, I spend a lot of time practising designs that children are actually asking for right now. While butterflies, tigers and mermaids will always be popular, gaming characters are becoming bigger requests at parties and events too.

This Sonic-inspired design is quick, bold and instantly recognisable — perfect for busy events where children want to transform into their favourite character and get back to having fun as quickly as possible!

One of my favourite things about face painting is that no two days are ever the same. One child wants a princess, the next wants a dragon, and then someone asks for Sonic! 😊

Would the gamers in your family choose this one? 🎮💙
