Face Painting Isn't Just For Kids

Do you ever feel like your makeup routine is too boring? If you've been rocking the same look for way too long, we've got the perfect solution for your beauty rut: play- time! Whip out your paints, pigments, and brushes, because a little face-art never hurt.

One night, I decided to go crazy with my makeup after wearing the same neutral eye for a month—I was well overdue for some color. The result of my makeup jam session? I looked like a creature from outer space (see right), but I explored some interesting color combinations that I'll definitely use for future makeup designs.

Today's face makeup is different than the standard inexpensive clown makeup. With newer formulas, better textures, and richer pigment, smooth creams, vibrant powders and sleek liners let your inner-artist come alive! Beauties, do you ever have those nights where you just want to paint the town—on your face?

To unleash your inner Picasso, Beautylish recommends: 

• Make Up For Ever 12 Flash Color Case (for rich and creamy pigment)

• NYX Cosmetics Super Skinny Eye Marker (for precision lining)

• Sleek Makeup Acid i-Divine Palette (to set your grease paint and blend)
