Natural phenomena can also be a source of inspiration for your costume…
 
Rain
3 different watercolours have been used to make this face paint: white, silver-grey and blue. Additionally, silver-grey glitter may be applied. Finally, you need water, a sponge and a thin brush. 
 
  Shooting Star
This face paint is made with watercolours in 7 different shades: 2 types of green, 2 types of red, 2 types of blue and finally, white. Besides the watercolours, you need water and a thin brush. Finally, you can use silver- and gold glitter to add sparkles to the face paint.
   

 

 
Step 1:
Paint white clouds on your forehead using the brush.
  Step 2:
Dab the silver-grey watercolour around the clouds as well as around the eyes. Additionally, you can apply white eye shadow on the eyes using the brush.
  Step 3:
Finally, outline the clouds using the blue colour and the brush and furthermore, draw raindrops in the rest of the face. The best result is achieved by adding some white colour to the raindrops. 

 
Step 1:
Draw the white stars using the brush. It is important not to apply the blue colour before the white colour, as the white colour in this case will be 'muddy'.

 

Step 2:
Dab on the blue and purple using the sponge.

  Step 3:
Finally, the purple colour is dabbed on around the eyes so that the main colour in this area is purple. Furthermore, paint the mouth purple and sprinkle glitter in the areas without stars so that the glitter makes up the ‘tail’ of the shooting stars. 
     
Flower...By Lise Toftild, Alternativt hår.
Blomst The primary colour may be a light skin colour that is evenly spread with a make up sponge – remember also to cover the neck- Paint with a brush a black ring around the nose where the centre of the flower should be. Choose a colour and draw the shape of the flower. Fill out half of the leaves with this colour and choose another colour to fill out the rest of the leaves. Use a brush and black colour to paint the outline of all the leaves and fill out the middle (the tip of the nose) with a white colour and make some white effects on the leaves. Finish off by drawing a green stalk on the neck using a broad brush. Ready to pluck!
