Dalmatian Face Paint Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my Dalmatian Face Paint Step by Step Guide

I will be showing you from start to finish how you can paint a simple dalmatian face.

This face is one of the popular faces asked for at parties and  events.


What you will need

• Facepainting Sponges 
• Major Brushes (Round)
• White Facepaint (Snazaroo)
• Grey Facepaint  (Snazaroo)
• Black Facepaint (Snazaroo)
• Red Facepaint  (Snazaroo)
• Glitter 
• Spritzer 
• Water

I bought all of my materials from this site: http://www.facepaintsdirect.co.uk/

Step 1 

Fill up a container with a small amount of water, this will be used to clean your brushes and wet you brushes

Step 2 

Fill up you spritzer with water as well, this will be sprayed onto the paint when you are using your sponge 

Step 3 

Spray the spritzer on the white paint, rub your sponge into it to pick up the paint then paint the entire face white. Try to get an even coverage by wiping the the sponge over the face dabbing where skin can be seen.

Step 4 

Dip your round paint brush in the water and then into the grey pain. Start adding large and irregular spots to the face. Make sure the sports aren't like a circle, make the edges different. If you are in a hurry simply skip the grey and use black paint instead 

Step 5

Clean your brush or get a new one and apply black paint to it. Begin to paint the nose.

Step 6

Add a black line from the nose to the mouth. Create a thick line for canine faces. Be sure to go right to the top lip.

Step 7 

Paint the top lip in black and create two flicks on either side of the mouth. This will be the muzzle of the dalmatian.

Step 8 
With a clean or new brush get some red paint on your brush. From one side of the bottom lip create a round oblong shape. This will be the tongue of the dog. 

Step 9 

Get some black paint and colour in the eyelid.

Step 10

For girls you may want to add flicks to the eyelid to create long lashes. Place the brush flat on the eyelid and gradually pull the brush up so that just the tip is on the skin. This will create the flick effect.

Step 11

Do the same on both eyelids. If you are using black paint for the spots instead of grey then just do this on one eye as the other will already  be covered in the black spot.

Step 12                                                                                        With a clean brush, mix the grey in with black to make a darker grey colour. 

Step 13
Apply this to one side of every spot for definition and shading.

Step 13
Create a black line down the middle of the tongue. Once you are happy with your facepaint you can add glitter to make it sparkle.
