1. Choose safe and quality products

Before unleashing your inner Picasso, make sure you have the right makeup for your little ones' delicate skin. Forget products of dubious origin that could cause rashes, and opt for recognized brands that comply with European cosmetics regulations. At Cucutoys, for example, you'll find options such as:

• PlayColor : Marker-style face paint sticks, perfect for inexperienced hands and easy to apply. Draw cat whiskers or superhero masks in no time!
• Snazaroo : Makeup sets with a wide range of colors and a book with over 20 step-by-step designs. Ideal for those looking for precision and professional results.
• Djeco : Makeup kits with 6 color discs, a sponge, and a brush , perfect for creating vibrant and detailed designs. With this combination, you can create everything from enchanted witches to fearsome pirates!

2. Preparation is the key to success

Before you begin, wash and dry your little one's face thoroughly. A clean canvas ensures the makeup adheres better and lasts longer. Also, have some baby wipes ready to fix minor mistakes without any drama.

Extra tip: If your little one has long hair or bangs, secure it with a hair tie or clip to prevent it from getting stained or getting in the way during the makeup session.

3. Let's get to work!

If brush art isn't your thing, don't worry. Djeco stencils are your friend. Simply stick them on your little one's face and paint over them. Prefer something more free-form? PlayColor sticks let you draw directly, just like a marker. And for the more detail-oriented, the Snazaroo set offers brushes and sponges to help you create stunning designs. You can get inspired by the step-by-step guides on their website. There's something for everyone, and for all levels.

4. Tips for a spectacular finish

• Less is more
  • Don't oversaturate your face with too many colors or details. Sometimes, a simple mask or a well-made mustache is enough.

• Bright and well-applied colors
  • If you're using a colored base , lightly dampen a sponge, wring it out well, and dab it on. If it's too wet, it could leave streaks.
  • For a more intense color , let the first coat dry and apply a second.
  • If you're going to use strong tones, apply a layer of white as a base first so the colors stand out more.

• Application techniques
  • Light colors before dark ones : If the design has a mix of light and dark tones, apply the lighter tones first to avoid smudging.
  • Sponges for large areas, brushes for details : Sponges are ideal for color bases and brushes allow for fine, precise strokes.
  • Draw confidently : If you use a brush, use continuous strokes and avoid uncertain sketches. Confidence will come with practice!

• Create your own colors
  • Snazaroo paints are mixable, meaning you can combine shades to achieve custom colors. Play with the mixes and experiment with new creations!

• Makeup beyond the face
  • Don't limit yourself to just the face; you can use these makeups to decorate arms, hands, or legs. Perfect for creating temporary tattoos, robot details, or glitter wings for a magical look!

• Patience and good humor
  • Your child probably won't stay still the whole time. Take it easy, take breaks if necessary, and above all, have lots of fun!

5. Time to remove makeup

After the party, it's time to "take off the mask." Fortunately, quality products like the ones we carry in the store are easily removed with soap and water or makeup remover wipes. Avoid using harsh products that can irritate your skin.

The most important thing: Have fun!

You don't have to be a professional artist to enjoy children's makeup. It's all about having a good time and letting your imagination run wild! And remember: if you make a mistake, nothing is permanent; everything can be corrected and started over .

So go ahead, grab your brushes and start the transformation. The only limit is your imagination!
