Introducing the first look in our new series of half-face makeovers with Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' inspired half-face makeover with Ariel and Ursula.
Who do you think is best? Let us know in the comments below ⬇️
Today we are showing you our step-by-step facepainting guide to a (kind of) full face Dinosaur.
Step 1
Take a light coloured face paint and cover your face with as many layers as needed to get a nice, even coverage. I used about 3/4 layers.
We didn't go for a full face but opted for an almost full 'mask' look. (Think like The Phantom of the Opera mask. The one on the poster rather than his face!)
We went up to the upper lip line and curved around the cheeks to create a 'mask' look.
Step 2
Take a darker shade of green and begins to place your 'spots'.
You don't want to have perfect shapes, think jagged ovals and curved rectangles.
These can be placed anywhere on your face to create the effect.
I put them on both cheeks and the forehead, going around the eyes. I put the odd few around the nose too.
Then add lines to your nose. I did 3 thick lines but you could add smaller lines around the nose as well.
Step 3
Take another shade of green that isn't too similar to your light or dark paint. I used a 'khaki' colour here.
Do smaller dots and ovals in the gaps and around your larger 'spots'. Keep them sparse and random.
Then using a small brush, go around some of the edges of your larger 'spots' and fill in slightly. Make sure you fade the colour as best as you can so it isn't too 'block-y'.
This gives extra depth to your spots.
Step 4
Our optional step if you want to add a bit of glam to your dinosaur look!
Add some green glitter to some of your 'spots', keeping it random so you haven't got too many in the same area.
We also took a small eyeshadow blender brush and some glitter eyeshadow and placed this on some of the 'spots' too for some extra shimmer.
Step 5
Take your eyeshadow blender brush and some dark green eyeshadow and layer it over your eyelids up to your brow bone (not the eyebrow itself).
Fade this out around the edges to create a bit of a smokey eye and so that there are no harsh lines.
All Done!
Add some Dino accessories, and your look is complete!
We've had an amazing 2018 over at Creative Eye and we can't wait to kick off the new year!
Our new planner, ready to start the New Year!
One of our Christmas presents this year was some wonderful designs by Amber over at Pulling Designs. She's a very talented graphic design artist who made these images for us, to show off the many services we offer! How many of our services can you spot?
What do we have planned for 2019?
We will be offering lots of services including (but not limited to) events, entertainment, decorations, balloons, photography, videography, beauty services and promotional and design work.
We will be updating this blog more regularly with tips and tutorials, reviews, videos and photos and behind the scenes of Creative Eye. Feel free to sign up to receive updates for this blog as well as signing up to our monthly newsletter, which you can do on our website at www.ceye.co.uk.
We are adding even more party options for children of all ages as well as new characters to choose from for parties and meet and greets.
This year we are working with a talented musician in starting up a tribute act. We will be helping with promotional material and marketing as well as booking them in for events. Watch this space for the announcement of this act and how to book them in the upcoming months.
Over Easter we will be hosting an Alice and Wonderland themed Tea Party for children and parents. We will have Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts and of course, the White Rabbit leading the way to the party!
During the half terms and the summer holiday we will be holding workshops for children. We had great success with our summer workshops in August 2018 which featured slime, science and a dance party. We will be hosting similar workshops this year with many more themes to come.
We will begin our workshops for adults this year with lessons in photography, film and beauty services, taught by professionals in the industry.
We'll be ending the year with our Winter Wonderland party featuring the Snow Queen, Snow Princess and of course the loveable Snowman! We'll be hosting our party with our entertainers, arts and crafts activities, games, a disco, balloon modelling, food and plenty of photo opportunities. There will even be a special visit from Father Christmas himself.
