Step 1:
Apply white face paint to child's nose and cheeks, sweeping up slightly above her eyebrows (this will become the cat's ears). The face paint will look like a white butterfly at this point.

Step 2:
Add some sparkle with glitter.

Step 3:
Use a wide sponge to add color in a sweep from outer eyebrow down and across the cheek. In the video the face paint artist uses neon pink, orange and green to create a rainbow effect. Blend this in and ensure top color (pink in the video) is swept up in triangular points over eyebrows for kitty ears.

Step 4:
Add face glitter to the cat ear triangles. In the video, pink face glitter is used. Add a little more silver face glitter to cheeks and chin. This is going to be one sparkly kitty cat!

Step 5:
Use black face paint on a brush to sweep up lines to define the cat's ears. Think Mr Spock eyebrows! Add 3 smaller lines in the cat ear triangle. This will look a bit like a bird's wing.

Step 6:
With black face paint and brush, paint a curve from each corner of mouth towards outer edges of nose. Add more lines going up the cheeks as cat fur.

Step 7:
Fill in the gaps around the cat face: a couple of black lines painted at the top of the cheek and some fine vertical lines between the eyebrows to join the cat ears together. Add a black line from nose to mouth, and a line across upper lip -- thicker in the middle. With black face paint, make a shallow v just above the nostrils for a cat nose.

Step 8:
Add cat tongue with red face paint on the bottom lip.

Step 1:
Use a high-density face painting sponge to apply yellow face paint to your face in a mask pattern, extending on each side from nose down to mouth. At the top, the yellow face paint goes up ina rough point above each eyebrow for the cat ears.

Step 2:
Now the fun part! Taking a wide brush, add face paint from a rainbow cake. This will create a 3 color stripe. You will now paint on the kitty's ears. Start each cat ear roughly in line with the inner point of each eyebrow, so that there is a gap between the cat's ears in the middle. Paint a triangle, stopping at the outer point of each eyebrow.

Step 3:
Apply more rainbow face paint to your brush and make 4 or 5 vertical lines in-between the cat ears.

Step 4:
Add a short curved line with the brush from outer corner of eye to high on your cheek. Below this, add 4 or 5 of the vertical lines in a curve towards your mouth for cat fur. You will see that these are then blended a little with the brush.

Step 5:
In the video, she now redefines the cat ears and wide cheek stripes with another application of rainbow face paint.

Step 6:
Now apply white face paint to the upper lip.

Step 7:
Take a fine brush and apply cat hairs with white face paint in the ear triangles. Next add fine white lines to the fur between the ears and at the edges of the cat's cheeks.

Step 8:
Using black face paint on a brush, add the cat's nose in a shallow v shape above the nostrils. Paint a black line from nose to mouth and add a curved black line from outer corner of each mouth to define the edge of the white lip area. Now dot on some tiny black dots for whiskers across your upper lip.

Step 9:
Still using the black face paint, define the edges of the cat face, adding detail to the fine fur lines.

Step 10:
Add fine face glitter between the eyes and down the nose, on each cheek, to the inside of the cat ears, and on the end of the cat's nose. You're done!

About my Avatar: When I first joined Squidoo I used a photo of a smiling green pear that I had made myself. Over time the pear and WordCustard have become so linked that it would be hard to change it. So you will see a pear somewhere on most of my pages. Here in my bio I'm using a face painting example I did to recreate Day of the Dead 'sugar skull' makeup inspired by a Sylvia Ji 'Dia de los Muertos' painting.
