Step 1: Get Ready!
Before you start painting, make sure you have all the necessary supplies:
- Washable face paint that’s safe for kids
- A variety of cat colors (black, white, gray, and pink work well)
- Brushes of different sizes (you can use the ones from your makeup bag)
- A comfortable spot with good lighting
- A child who’s ready to get their face painted (they might need to brush their hair out of the way)
- If you want to add some extra magic to your cat design, now’s the time to bring out the glitter! (optional: be careful not to let the glitter fall into the child’s eyes).
- Consider using a cat cosplay ears accessory for an easier and more effective design (optional).
Tips for Preparing Your Child
Make sure your child is comfortable and willing to participate. If they’re nervous, consider explaining what you’ll be doing and showing them a picture of a cute cat design.
Step 2: Choose the Desired Style
There are many styles of cat faces to choose from, so take some time to decide which one suits your child’s personality and interests. Consider factors such as:
- Your level of makeup and painting skills (if you’re limited, opt for an easy style)
- The child’s patience level (remember, they only have one chance to get the job done!)
- The occasion (birthday party or Halloween celebration? Different occasions call for different styles!)
Step 3: Create a Light Outline
Focus on drawing a light outline or key point to guide your next steps. Don’t try to draw all the details at once! Use light colors and small brushes to create gentle lines or points.
“Assigning Space” is the key point of this step, Make sure you leave enough space for each part of the cat face, including:

- Cat ears
- Cat eyes
- Cat nose
- Cat mouth
- Cat whiskers
Step 4: Add Final Details
Now it’s time to use stronger colors and bigger brushes to draw all the facial details. Here are some ideas:
