Choose a suitable costume
You might think that singer Pixie Lott dressed up like a tiger for Halloween. But you are wrong. The 19-year-old and her crew visited a nightclub in South Kensington, London, in 2010 to celebrate the end of her Crazy Cats tour. For the party, she had tiger stripes painted on her face and body.
The blonde was accompanied by her boyfriend Oliver Cheshire, 22, with whom she has been dating since August. He also had a few tiger stripes on the left side of his face. Despite the minus-8°C temperatures, she dared to make the short walk to Club Boujis without a coat so as not to ruin her body paint. To complete her look, she wore a black corset and skirt, as well as heels with fur decoration. A black cat tail was attached to the back of the corset. The casual updo was topped with a cat ear headband.
Tiger makeup for men
When applying make-up, pay particular attention to the tiger's fur structure. There are two ways to achieve the appearance of fine hairs in orange fur. The first option is to apply makeup with a thin, round brush. The second option is to take a wide, flat brush and apply make-up with the narrow side. All hairs should point in one direction.
Snow tigers are also uniquely beautiful animals that are unfortunately becoming increasingly rare. They also have white, shiny fur, black stripes, blue eyes and a pink nose. So you can make up the tiger face completely in black and white. Use gray for a smooth transition. Blue contact lenses would complete the look perfectly.
However, to add some color to the tiger makeup, you can use light blue. Apply the color with a make-up sponge and dab it onto the forehead, temples, along the bridge of the nose and below the cheekbone.
Futuristic Makeup Idea
This color creation will delight children and adults alike. Bright colors and sparkling rhinestones create the perfect, happy atmosphere for carnival. For the special occasion, you could also dust a little glitter powder on your nose and cheeks.

To achieve a particularly beautiful effect, also apply make-up to the décolleté. In this way, your make-up will look even more authentic and not like a “mask”. It's best to put on an off-the-shoulder dress to really show off your body paint.
The picture above is a very nice example of how you can make up the décolleté. Orient yourself to an imaginary center line that runs from the chin down to the chest. The eye-catcher is the thrush pit and all the stripes are drawn towards the center.
Tiger face painting
Experiment with lots of different shades to create beautiful tonal effects, or choose just two colors like pink and yellow. A rainbow look also has a very special charm and delights children. Just make sure that the eyes, upper lips and chin area remain white. If you can't paint the black stripes freehand, your best bet is to find a template to use as a stencil.
