You'll need:
• a paintbrush and assorted face paints
Our inspiration: the Art Nouveau style of art, characterized by organic swirls and floral or plant designs.
1. Take your brush and draw a line extending outward from your outer lash line. Curve upward and outward into a swirl.
2. Draw a second line from your inner lash line. Again, curve upward and outward into a swirl above the previous one.
3. Draw a third line from the inner corner of the eye, going upward and outward into a swirl above the other ones. Add additional swirls, if desired.
4. Draw a fourth line from below the middle of the eye, curving inward along the cheekbone.
5. Add additional smaller swirls below and along the side of the face. Feeling extra creative? Incorporate leaves and flowers.
Our inspiration: traditional African masks, characterized by bold lines, colors and geometric shapes.
1. Draw a thick line from the center of the forehead to the tip of the nose.
2. Continue drawing the line from the bottom of the lips to the chin.
3. Add large dots of color horizontally across the cheekbone.
4. Continue adding dots across the other cheekbone for symmetry. Snarl and yell like a true warrior.
