Children especially like dressing up. For this reason, Carnival is also a popular festival for you. The costume also includes the right make-up to complete the look. Whether the classic mouse, cat, dog, the popular clown or a more unusual idea, the variations for face painting for carnival are endless. We would like to introduce some of them to you in the following gallery.
Cats are very popular among girls. And the delicate nature of these animals also suits our little princesses wonderfully. A cat's makeup doesn't have to be complicated either. Basically, a nose and whiskers are needed. You're welcomeset additional accentswith eyeliner and cute cat ears on a headband.
Would you like a fun version of theCat facial, you can choose the Cheshire Cat from “Alice in Wonderland”. The accent here, as the name suggests, is on the grinning mouth.
In addition to the domestic cat, all other types of cats are also suitable as disguises. You cana cool tiger, leopard or panther. You can find a lion in a video tutorial below.
Mice are also very popular. The steps are basically the same as for the cat. However, it is best to choose a gray color for this animal so that it can be distinguished from the cat. Another option is to paint the mouse's entire head, including ears, on the face, as is the case in this example.
When it comes to dogs as an idea, the choice of colors is very large. It can also be solid color or made up of spots. To make the make-up look particularly funny, leave a painted tongue hanging out of your mouth.
This bunny idea is also very cute. What shouldn't be missing from this variant are the typical buck teeth and of course the whiskers. The hare can be white, gray, brown or black. However, the brighter the color, the better the costume looks.
Since the film Frozen, the characters have been chosen more and more often for carnival costumes. They are particularly suitable as group costumes. But the most popular among girls is without a doubt Elsa. If you want a suitable idea in addition to the costume, you can, for example, paint snowflakes on the face.
Butterflies can be painted on the face as an additional accent for various costumes. Whether your child dresses up as a butterfly, a fairy or just with colorful clothing, the butterfly idea is always suitable.
You can complement the make-up in the shape of a butterfly with wings, antennae and a matching dress. This idea is designed in yellow and black and will make your daughter look particularly cute.
Instead of one butterfly all over your face, you can also create several small ones. Choose any color, respectively, let your daughter choose.
The fairy in particular can be designed with ornate motifs around the eyes. Glitter stones are also great for underlining the romantic look. It's best to use glittery or metallic paint.
The superheroes are particularly popular with boys. How about for carnival, for example, with Batman? It's not too difficult to make and will definitely delight your son. You can also find instructions for Spiderman below.
With the matching feather wings, a white or light blue dress and, ideally, a halo, you can dress your daughter up as a pretty angel. You can see the right idea in the photo above.
A flower girl cannot only be chosen for a wedding. Dress up your child in this way for carnival too. Also emphasize the carnival costume with this children's make-up. Spread pretty little roses on your face. This idea is also suitable for princess costumes or specifically for Sleeping Beauty.
The western theme and especially cowboys are also very popular with boys. A stubble or a mustache alone is enough for this costume. Your son might particularly like this idea for a sheriff with a hat.
Make the peacock costume look more romantic by painting some pretty patterns on the outer corners of the eyes. To do this, choose colors that match the costume. You can also choose glitter or a metallic effect.
What would carnival be without the classic clown? Have your child make as happy or at least neutral a face as possible. The variants are again endless. In the picture above you can see a relatively easy to implement variant.
