Red, White, and Boom: Simple Designs That Pop All you need is a few basic face paint colors—red, white, and blue—plus some brushes, a sponge, and optional glitter. Start with these quick ideas:
1. Swirls, Stars, and Teardrops
Use a small round brush to paint simple curved lines and teardrops in red, white, and blue. Dot in some stars or starbursts to complete the look. Add glitter for extra sparkle!
2.One-Stroke Rainbow Arcs
Dip your flat brush into a red-white-blue split cake and sweep it across the cheek or forehead in a smooth arc. Add a few white star shapes, and you’re done!
3.Stars and Fireworks
Use a thin liner brush to draw small fireworks bursting out from the center of the face or cheek. Combine with red and blue stars of different sizes for a dynamic design.
Think hearts, smiley faces, mini flag cheeks, or glittery star crowns. These are perfect for toddlers and young kids who don’t want too much paint on their faces.
