Making up a cat's face for Halloween is very popular with children. However, the wide variety of design options can seem intimidating at first, especially if you don't have much experience with face painting. But don't worry - here's how easy it is to create an excellent cat face, using makeup you probably already have on hand!
How to make up a cat's face using only brown eye pencil...
To make up this cat face, all you need is a brown eye pencil. Start by darkening the tip of the nose and connecting it to the tip of the upper lip. Then of course there are the cat's whiskers, which are really easy to draw because all you have to do with the pen is draw random strokes. They don't have to be perfectly straight or the same length (you can't imagine a cat with a perfectly shaped mustache, can you?).
To complete the cat makeup, contour the eyebrows with a raised arch upwards, befitting a curious, small and clever cat! And you're done, in no more than 10 minutes! Of course, if your child is willing and you have some on hand, you can add cat ears too!
...or with concealer, lipstick, eyeliner and mascara
To make up this cat face, you will need a light concealer, black eyeliner, pink lipstick, black mascara and possibly a black eye pencil if you do not want to use eyeliner to make up your child's eyes as it is more difficult to remove than one Pen and the sensitive skin on the eyelid can irritate.
Start by applying concealer to your child's upper lip. It should be at least two tones lighter than the skin of your face. Then you can apply a very light powder to set if necessary. It is important that you visually brighten the area so that the characteristic cat's muzzle appears. Then draw black dots with eyeliner and outline the whiskers. Apply the pink lipstick by drawing two thin pink lines at the end of the lips with the tip of the lipstick.
Next are the eyes. Take the eyeliner or black eyeliner pencil and gently apply it to the child's eyelids, naturally extending the lines at the end to create a cat eye. Finally, apply a thin layer of mascara to your eyelashes and you're done!

To create this pink cat face with just makeup without using face paint, you will need pink and purple lipstick, black eye pencil and concealer.
- Start by applying the black eye pencil on the nose and then move on to the lips. Create a small anchor on the upper lip and fill it with three black dots on each side.
- Next, apply the black pencil to the cheeks and draw three connected lines at the base on each side. Then lightly smudge them with your finger to make them look like the picture.
- Now it's the chin's turn. Trace the dark lines with the black pencil, smudge them lightly with your fingers, and then add outlines with the pink lipstick. Do the same between both eyebrows.
- Apply a little concealer under the eyes and on the inner rim of the eyes.
- Finally, take the purple lipstick and draw outlines around the jawline and on the eyebrows. Combine the purple outlines on the eyebrows with the light pink outlines.
