Face Painting Small Designs: Profit & Enjoy!

I started face painting small designs on my five-year old and her friend this past weekend. I have never face painted before, but have some painting skills, so they turned out good.

I really had a ton of fun doing it, and like everything else that I discover and enjoy, I throw myself into it full force. I found myself scouring around for information on face painting both online and in the Waterstone's. I was wondering, because it became so much fun, if face painting could essentially be a good little cottage business to start.

I bought the face paints at Michael's craft store where they only had two types of face paints to select from. I purchased the Snazaroo face painting kit that came with 8 paints, a sponge, and a brush ; a pretty basic kit but great for someone only starting. When I went to Barnes & Noble to see what I could find apropos face painting books, I couldn't believe that they didn't stock any books on face painting designs, or the easy way to face paint, or anything to do with face painting. So, I returned to the web to learn more .

I never actually considered face painting to be a viable small home business, but reputedly, it can be rather rewarding. Think about all the places that you might find face painters...craft shows, birthday parties, company events, carnivals, fund-raising events, and more. If you can follow directions and learn the techniques laid out for you in a reference guide, then you can learn face painting.

I found and bought a actually good face painting book online for $27. The book has 50 different face painting designs, complete with over 600 pictures and step by step instructions. It also includes pro face painters tricks, strategies and trade methods, AND it came with four bonus guides worth over $44. Not bad for just $27!

Will I start a little face painting home-based business now that I am supplied with the designs and knowledge to start one? You never know! For the moment, I'll keep painting my daughter's face and the faces of neighborhood kids.
