Start off by applying the Snazaroo green face paint all over the face. Apply with a sponge and avoid the eye area.
Top tip: Use a damp sponge and not a wet sponge.
Then, shade the outer area in darker green with a brush.

Using Snazaroo Purple Facepaint, colour in the eyebrows. Then, colour in an 'arch' shape above the eye area.
Top tip: Don't forget that you can always mix colours on the back of your hand to create the exact colour you want. Here I used red and blue to get the shade of purple.

Start to position the witch's eyebrows in black. Start off with a thin line and then thicken the line when you're happy with it.
![halloweenwitch_step3.jpg?sw=680&q=85](https://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/dw/image/v2/BHCG_PRD/on/demandware.static/-/Library-Sites-hobbycraft-uk-content/default/dw677f5edd/images/ideas/kids/how-to-face-paint-a-witch/halloweenwitch_step3.jpg?sw=680&q=85)
Once you have the nice, thick, expressive eyebrows in place, create more shading in the purple area with a brush.

Now that you're happy with your shading, you're ready to add the finer details.
Draw some black lines with a fine brush and curl the ends of the line. Then you just need to connect the lines with a curved shape to create the cobweb.

Outline the lips with a dark lip liner. Finish the lips with a gloss and you're good to go! Get ready for the witching hour!
