Simba the Lion Cub

How to Paint Simba from The Lion King
If you've seen my other step by step face painting tutorial collections, you'll know that MarvelousMasks is one of my favorite face painters.
His lion face paint video shows the creation of The Lion King's Simba with a cute lion cub face painting.
Kids will love this lion face paint! Although the end result looks great, it's not too difficult to recreate this face painting design if you take your time.
Step by Step Face Painting Instructions: Simba
Painting the Lion Cub Face
Starting between the eyes, sponge on white face paint down nose and upper lip, extending out to the sides.
Step 2:
Now use gold face paint, applying with sponge to forehead, eyelids and cheeks.
Step 3:
With black face paint on a brush, paint a line going out from mouth corner and then up towards nose. Add black line from nose to mouth and paint top lip black.
Step 4:
On tip of nose, paint on lion cub nose with black paint. Dot on black whisker holes.
Step 5:
The outline of the lion cub's face is created with black paint in curves. On an adult face, there are 7 from outer eye down to join the white muzzle area. Fewer may be needed when face painting a small face. Add furry ears with black paint.
Step 6:
Underline eyes with black face paint, sweeping out at sides.
Step 7:
Add white face paint to highlight hairs on top of lion cub's head and down sides of face.
Step 8:
Paint lower lip red and, with white paint, add lion cub's pointed teeth.
And there you have it -- Simba the lion cub face paint!

A Simple Lion Face Painting Design
Easy face painting idea for kids to try themselves
The video preview doesn't do this lion face paint justice so I recommend you watch it through to the end images where this young lioness is all dressed up. You'll see that the bold lion face paint works perfectly with her Halloween lion costume.
This lion face paint design was shared by TheUltimateReviewer1 but the face painting was done entirely by the girl who is wearing it here.
This truly is a simple face painting design for teens and even younger kids to try out. The fact that they applied it themselves will make this lion face paint even more fun to wear. Of course, there's no harm in lending a helping hand if they find the face painting instructions or techniques tricky.
Clear written instructions are included in the step by step video.

How to paint a lion on your own face
If you want a lion face paint design that's a little more detailed, watch along with this video from Devan.
This lion face is beautiful. She does add lion ears and some detail at the top that you can either include or just leave off -- either way you get a wonderful lion face painting.
How to Paint the Intermediate Lion Face
Lion Face Painting Step by Step
Apply beige/tan face paint over face avoiding upper lip and eye area.
Step 2:
Sponge on cream colored face paint to eye area.
Step 3:
Add rust colored face paint to upper cheeks, sweeping up towards temples, add a little to chin and to sides of forehead, and blend.
Step 4:
Add white or pale cream face paint to upper lip.
Step 5:
With brush and black face paint, create a curve beneath nose and up to each nostril edge. Extend black line down to mouth and along top lip. Outline muzzle edges. Dot on whisker holes.
Step 6:
Add thick black line to upper and lower eyelids and out to the sides to make a typical cats eye. Highlight above eyebrows with pale face paint.
Step 7:
Apply pink face paint to lower lip and underline with black paint. Add black 'fur' detailto either side of chin and below eyes using wiggly black lines. Paint a black vertical line on each side of nose. Add more fur detail to these lines and over eyebrows with short dashed lines.
Step 8:
If adding lion's ears, draw on circles above eyebrows with black face paint. Paint ears and forehead with brown facepaint and inner ears with pink. Add fur detail with black and white face paint.
Step 9:
With white face paint, add pointed teeth at each side of lower lip. The lion face paint is complete!
Add a Lion Tail and Ears
You can complete the Lion look without spending a fortune
Your Lion face paint will look even better if you add these fun accessories to it: a lion tail on a fabric belt (up to 24" waist) and a pair of lion ears on headband (fits child to adult sizes).

WordCustard's Bio
It's easy to see why I love Squidoo -- I get paid to write about my passions! These include face painting, dance, European travel, photography, and more. Click on my picture if you'd like to join me here.
I'm a member of Squidoo's Giant 100 Club which means that I have over 100 unique and high quality web pages here on Squidoo. You can also find me writing for other sites on the web.
See the full list of topics I have written about: WordCustard on Squidoo.
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.
