Is there such a thing as a pretty witch face painting? There sure is! This face painting example from WoolworthsUK shows a delightful witch design -- without a trace of green face paint in sight!

This pretty witch was created using 3 colors of face paint: pink, black and white. Add some sparkle with silver face glitter for a truly magical little witch.

This incredible Sea Witch face paint from SharksBiteOfLife recreates Ursula, the Sea Witch from Disney's The Little Mermaid.

It is a wonderfully clear face painting tutorial with each product named and every step explained (so no need for additional instructions here). However, it is quite an involved design that uses both classic face paint and a whole range of makeup products, so is one for the more experienced.

You could of course recreate the main colors and shapes of this face painting design with a more limited set of face paint or makeup products.

This face paint design shows how to achieve those high eyebrows that are a classic Disney witch look, so you could also use this face painting design to inspire other fairytale witch makeup ideas of your own.

Again, this makeup video tutorial is clearly explained and all the product information is supplied by Julia in the video. Don't be afraid to improvise with the makeup products you already have at home. Even if you don't want to paint on all the detail, you could still have a pretty witch on one side and a green face with a couple of wrinkles and a big bushy eyebrow on the other.

Of course, you could choose just one of these faces to paint on yourself. Just repeat on both sides!
