DRAGON FACE PAINT

Instructions

1. Start with a clean, moisturised face
2. Wet a flat brush and, using the BYS Cosmetics SFX Face & Body Paint Palette in Fire, coat it back and forward
3. Start at the top of the forehead, draw two circles
4. Re-wet the brush and add two more circles above the previous ones
5. Repeat this process and add a final small circle
6. To create the body, add one big swipe down the side of the face. Go back into the product and go over to intensify
   Note: Always make sure you're cleaning your brushes in between steps
   Note: You can always go back and define throughout the process when needed
7. To create the tail, start with the angled side of the brush and create a s-shaped curved line
8. Pick up a smaller brush, dip it into the orange and red shades. Take off any excess colour and add small spines to the body
9. Using the other end of the same brush, create the tail with the yellow shade
10. Add a little depth to the tail with a few flicks of orange
11. Using the BYS Cosmetics SFX Colour Wheel in White on a clean brush, wait until it's dry and add half circle motions to create scales
12. Using the small fine brush, create the eyes and teeth with the white shade
13. Create a small semi-circle at the base of the red for the eyes. This can be filled with white, as black will follow
14. Underneath the mouth, create little 'v' shapes for the fangs
15. Now, using the BYS Cosmetics SFX Colour Wheel in Black, we will define the look. Remember you barely want to touch the skin when you're doing small intricate parts
16. Create the eyes and the mouth with fine black strokes
17. Then, with the black shade, define the spine and the tail from the body
18. To add the flame coming through the nostrils, go back in with the yellow shade and add little flicks. Continue this using the orange and white shades, but you can use any colours you wish
19. Go back with the white shade and add some flicks to the tail
20. Fill the gaps from the body and the head with orange and red shades
21. Then use the yellow shade to connect to the flames
22. To create a symmetrical look, go in with black again on the right eye and add a smokey flame
23. Using the Face Gems, start with the smallest gems on the dragon eyes
24. Complete the look by using as many Face Gems as you wish, ensuring they stay symmetrical
