This is a very simple and effective mascot face paint using the Australian colors of the yellow and green but of course, you can substitute any color for your favorite sports team. Get the model of course to start by closing her eyes very softly and then using the sponge that’s in the pack make it damp but not too wet and place some yellow on it we work over the face gently dabbing the sponge to cover a quarter of the face this sponge is really good because you can manipulate it to get into the tricky areas of the face like the eyes so you just sponge and dab gently away until you get the desired consistency and coverage with older models and adults you can get them to open their eye and gently work underneath the eye now we’re going to reload with a little bit more yellow then we’re gonna repeat the same action on the bottom quarter of the face dabbing away then you’ll notice that I work quite quickly the paint dries very fast which is really handy so that’s why we work very very quickly to get it all covered and blended never sponge over dry paint as this tends to remove the existing paint underneath it, just about got out two quarters done, again you can see by manipulating the sponge we get into those tricky areas of the face like around the corner of the mouth fantastic and now we’re ready to do the green so we’ve reloaded the sponge with some green and we’re going to do exactly the same thing but in the opposite corners the sponge gives a great straight edge to work with so that means you don’t have to worry about your lines because the sponge does it for you see this is nice fast way of applying the paint now you’ll notice on most of my videos that I always keep a hand on the head of my model I do this for two reasons I do it because I want to keep the model safe and also I want the paint to go where I want to place it so by keeping the model nice and secure and keeping the hammer on the head I can maintain control at all times and now we’re dabbing in the final quarter wow it’s looking great already so whenever you’re working over the eye of course always get your model to close her eyes that’s great Wow oh my gosh Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi, very effective up stands barracking for Australian I need to see just manipulating that sponge to get that coverage simply with two colours and a sponge

that drys very very quickly and will last for ages once it set it set but it comes off very easily when it’s time to wash.
