To achieve the lion face paint look, find a comfortable place to work and cover surfaces in case of any spillages. Water-based face paint is best as they wash off easily with soap and water, so no sore faces when the fun's over! Try Snazaroo's Ultimate Party Pack which has all the colours you'll need for our princess butterfly face painting look and plenty more fun party designs, from snazaroo.com (£17.49). Face paint is safe to use on most skin types, but always do a patch test of the paint on the back of your child's hand. If there is no reaction in an hour or so it should be safe to use. To create the lion face paint look you will need:
- A pot of clean water
- Water-based face paint in white, yellow, brown, black and red
- 1 thick paintbrush
- 1 thin paintbrush
- Face painting sponges
