Face Paint

Face Paint

Face paint can be found in a wide variety of world types. This paint may be applied as part of a rite of passage, in preparation for battle, for a ceremony of some kind, or as part of a daily beauty routine. There may be religious reasons to apply face paint, or it may be a way of marking social class, social standing, or membership to some profession or group.

  • Consider the meaning of the colors
  • Consider the meaning of the design
  • Consider what dye is used and where it comes from
