Green Face Paint

Green rarely wants to be one flat colour. Witches, Hulks, dinosaurs and zombies all read better with a dark base and a lighter highlight worked through it, which is why this collection carries both ends of the scale rather than a single mid tone.

Layering a dark witch or zombie base

Start with a mid tone such as TAG Body Art Face Paint Cake 32g - Medium Green as the base coat, then use Diamond FX 30g Face Paint Cake - Essential Green to deepen the hollows around the eyes and cheekbones while the base is still workable. Black shading goes on last, once the green has set, so it stays crisp rather than sinking into a muddy grey.

Highlighting scales, muscle and Hulk style builds

A bright TAG Body Art Face Paint Cake 32g - Light Green lifted along the cheekbones and knuckles gives a Hulk or dinosaur design its muscle definition, and Diamond FX 30g Face Paint Cake - Metallic Green catches light well on dragon and reptile scales when it's stippled on with a natural sponge rather than smoothed flat.

Seasonal green work

St Patrick's Day, footy guernsey colours and market stall bookings all spike demand for this shade, so it pairs naturally with our St Patrick's Day collection and TAG Body Art cakes. For scaled or metallic finishes browse metallic cakes, and see blue face paint for matching mermaid and alien tones.
