Koala Face painting tutorial

Our second DIY face painting tutorial for Australia day is a cute Koala face.

Again you will need:

• Grey face paint
• Pink face paint
• White face paint
• Black face paint
• Pearl pink and green face paint (optional)
• Face painting high density sponge
• Round brush
• Holo

Step 1

Apply the grey face paint with a sponge to form the base of the koala in the shape within the image provided and don’t forget to paint in the ears.

Step 2

Sponge on the pink paint to fill the inside of the ears

Step 3

While the pink paint within the ears is still wet, apply the glitter to it.

Step 4

Use the round brush and black face paint to outline a large triangular shape for the nose.

Step 5

Fill in the nose with black paint.

Step 6

Now take round brush with black paint to outline the Koala. Go carefully and create some brush strokes to make the outline look more like fur.

Paint a thicker black line on and above the upper lip to make the Koalas mouth.

Step 7

Paint a metallic pink colour on to the lips (optional)  You are done. You can finish here or continue.

Step 8

Paint some flowers around the koalas face. Take a no. 4 round brush to press on some petals to create some flowers to make the whole design a bit more pretty.

Step 9

The finished Koala face paint design.
