fun with face paint

so i figured i should start trying to work out the face markings for my costume.  when i bought the ears, they came with some face paint, so i tried it out with that first.  i picked the darker of the two purples, and just did a quick free hand onto my face.  overall, i think i got the design pretty well,  but i am going to want a smaller applicator brush to use.  i couldn't get the lines sharp enough with the brush it came with.  also thinking i'm going to need a different color, because.  i just don't think this will have enough contrast with the skin tone i'm going for, but i'll find out next week.  overall, i'm pretty happy with the look, especially considering it's my first time using this stuff.  need to work on getting the coverage a little more even, but again i think a smaller brush will help with that.  i was originally thinking of making a stencil for the pattern to make sure i got both sides even, but i think i did ok without one.  and i'm sure i'm going to practice a few more times between now and then, so i should be pretty pro at it by the time blizzcon rolls around.  now i can add "make up artist" to my list of accomplishment.  ok, not really, but that would be pretty cool.
