Doesn't this dog face paint look fantastic? The good news is, thanks to Bxg1549, you can follow along with her Face Painting: Dog video tutorial to create your own puppy dog look.

It's a speed face painting video so just pause as required to copy each step.

Step-by-step face painting instructions follow below.

A little girl might want a cute dog face painting with pink and glitter. No problem! This dog face paint video tutorial from sillyheatherb has an adorable little face paint model who wants her face paint to look as sweet as she does.

Heather shows that you can use pink details and shimmer powder to make a pretty little puppy dog.

Her video explains the face painting techniques very clearly, making it easy to recreate this puppy dog face paint design at home.

Boys will often be a dog rather than a cat at Halloween since cats are rather feminine creatures. Of course, boys who like the rough and tumble of dogs don't want a pretty dog face with glitter! So why not give them a bulldog face painting? Face painting pro MarvelousMasks shows us how below.

The face painting technique here is to fill in the dog face with one color of paint, adding a different color for a patch over one eye. Then dog ears are added to the top. By using pink on the lower lip, a couple of sharp little teeth are defined. The whole dog face is outlined in black face paint and a black nose is added, then the jowls and mouth detail.

This dog face paint design is still adorable (as you can see at the end), but without being in any way cutesy. Why not give it a go?

Here's an idea. Girls of all ages love cat face paint (it's those enchanting cats eyes) so if you're a woman, why not give your man a dog face painting and make yourself up with the kitty cat face makeup? Result? Instant cute Halloween couple costume!

What I really love about this dog face paint example is how this guy is not afraid to put pink glitter all over his painted dog tongue! He is proof that anyone can make themselves up with a dog face paint design -- it's just as fun a look for grown men as it would be sweet on a little girl.

This is another one from Clayton at Marvelous Masks. He doesn't speak while creating the dog face painting but I find all of his face painting video tutorials very clear, whether he is putting the paint on himself or on a child.

Here's some very different dog face paint to finish -- in face, it is not a dog but a wolf, however, wolves and dogs are related and this face painting design is worth sharing.

This one is by xenabyte. You are only seeing it halfway through in the preview picture but the finished wolf face paint is very impressive.

Even if this face painting design is too tricky for your skills, use it for inspiration! As with the bulldog, it shows how to face paint pointed teeth. It would be a great starting point for a Twilight Jacob Black / Wolfpack look.

Perfect for Halloween werewolves.
