Hello Fellow Face Painters and folks who want to enjoy face painting this 4th of July! What better way to show your patriotic spirit than go out on The Fourth of July with some red, white and blue face paint on!
If you are going to a BBQ, Parade, Club, or sports game on 4th of July, we are here to inspire you with a lot of designs from professional face painters who love this time of year!
Thank you to everyone who sent in images to share with our community. If you would like your pictures to show up here please send me an email to anna@jestpaint.com. Make sure that it is okay for us to post them on our blog with the model.
At Jest Paint we have really amazing 4th of July Split Cakes that will speed up your painting time and impress your clients! If you are new to face painting, using these cakes will take a little bit of practice. You want to make sure not to use too much water so that the Red and White don't mix too much. There are large split cakes for butterfly eyes and full face red white and blue designs. Then we have long thin rainbow cakes that you can use with a 1" flat brush for one stroke face painting. You can paint crowns, flames, flowers, hearts, and basically any kind of cheek art design but with the red, white and blue theme.
The US Flag has 13 stripes, seven are red and are at the top and bottom edges, and 6 are white. You can paint them straight or wavy. Just use a very thin round brush for a cheek art flag. A #2 or #3 will be perfect.
Make the top seven stripes shorter so that there is room for the blue canton with the 50 stars. The blue section is a little more than a third of the width of the flag.
For the sake of art, your cheek art flags don't need to have 13 stripes or 50 stars. You can reduce the amount based on the size you need to make it, otherwise everything will be too cluttered when recreating it with face paint and the colors might bleed together.
Another option is to fill the flag pattern into an outline of the USA, the words love, inside of one big star or heart, and ice cream code etc.

You can use the split cakes to first make red and white stripes, and then use the blue part for the square in the top left corner. It is fun to count the stripes while you are painting, but if you need to do a small flag on the cheek you can tell the person that you can only do a few stripes in order for it to fit.
We also have stencils so that you can stencil the black line work of the US Flag on stop of a red, white and blue swoosh of color on the cheek or forehead. These also look great on the arm, leg or around the neck like a necklace with the flag in the middle.
We have a lot of Red White and Blue Glitter to choose from at www.JestPaint.com. Make sure to choose glitters that are designed for cosmetic use and have no metals in them. Craft glitters can often have contaminated and metallic particles, so steer clear from those at the hobby store. You will want polyester glitters that have pigments that are safe for use on skin.

You can use the Patriotic Stack of Loose Glitter shown above to decorate your Fourth of July Designs. Just tap the glitter over wet paint, or mix it with your favorite glitter gel or aloe gel. You can use white body glue for a long lasting stick, but it will need to be removed with alcohol.
Pixie Paint has a clear gel base and is perfect for applying around your face paint, or just on a plain face. You can also apply it to hair! Use a silicone glitter applicator to scoop out a small about and spread on to your client.
You can also get biodegradable glitters. Even though studies show that there are already microplastics in food and bottled water, to help keep glitter out of the water stream give your clients a business card and tell them how important it is to scrape the glitter off of their face at the end of the day and throw it in the trash, not down the drain.
I painted Oshi with TAG Split Cake 1 Stroke Red White and Blue, and added a touch of fine white glitter and ABA Pixie Paint in Star Spangled. I used the TAP stencil Magical Stars for the blue stars, and added lots of tear drops to match.
If you just use red white and blue and blend shimmery bases, flowing tear drops, stars and stripes and dots together, you can come up with an endless amount of beautiful Fourth of July eye designs. You can lean a little lighter on the paint and make it more like a beauty makeup by keeping your design work closer to the eye or you can go wild can have the design flow down the cheeks and up over the forehead with bold strokes.

For this design I did a base in white and light blue around the eyes and a between the eyebrows. I used the Whale Tail Brush to paint red ribbons and blue Ribbons. Then I added a red gem, white stars and tear drops to finish the design.
Gio Guzman painted this simple eye design, but it is high glam! The way the red and white lines flow out of the red cat eye swoop gives a feathery eagle mixed with fireworks feel.
If you would like to paint and eagle for 4th of July Designs take some time practicing the head shape, beak shape and the way it connects to the head, and make sure you get that eye brow arch and eye size spot on! Otherwise you may home something that looks more like a pigeon or flamingo. The eagle has a very serious look, with feathers sticking up a little as they flow around the head.
KatzNC go the jist of the eagle in this cool face paint design. I love how she added the flag pattern into the eagles feathers. The yellow glowing eye with big highlighted pupil and low brow is spot on!
Butterflies are a popular design year round, why give them up on 4th of July? Just paint them in the colors of the US flag and you are all set! Use tear drops, one stroke cakes, glitter and jewels to create endless combos of butterfly wings!
I painted this butterfly design with the goal of keeping it simple. I sponged on a blue base and then highlighted it with light white stipple to brighten my eyes. After that I just added some small dark blue tear drops with Fusion Magic Dark Blue and red. For the body I added a small gem and red tear drop antennae's and then added some white highlights.

Fireworks are an important part of the 4th of July celebration. Adding them with face painting stencils or your own freehand flowing line work is a fast way to paint and explosive designs that folks will love!
KatzNC was looking for a very fast design that would be perfect for a very busy event. The two quick strokes are perfectly placed to compliment the eye, and then a fast star stencil completes the design! You could also paint rosette badges by wiggling your loaded brush around a circle, and add two falling ribbons.
Not crazy about your handwriting with paint brush? This handy ooH! Stencil would be great for air shows, Memorial Day and 4th of July. You can also add little jets, fireworks, or military symbols under it.

The United States National Flower is the Rose. Add red, white or blue roses into your Independence Day designs to pretty them up!
KatzNC painted this pretty rose eye mask with the red and white part of the split cake for the roses, the blue and white part for the leaves, and the whole Red White and Blue for the arch and swooshes that angle in towards the center of the face. The bold white stars make it clear that this design fits the 4th of July theme perfectly.
Melody Pekarek, of Another Pretty Face Entertainment , painted this 4th of July Décolletage design so that it flows around the collar bone. This design is two double outlined stars with tear drops and dots. Make your own necklace design by creating a patriotic centerpiece and tying it in with swirls, dots and stars.
The easiest way to stick to the theme is ask your clients if you can paint the design that they link in red white and blue. Below you will see some examples of non traditional Independence designs painted by artists who could improvise with patriotic colors.
Gio Guzman, of GiGi's Face Painting painted this skull's bandana with a US Flag colored split cake. This half face design is sure to be popular with kids and adults!
Codie Scott, of Tiny Art Face Painting, chose a super hero design that is all red white and blue. When you have to stick to the theme, kids will love this captain America option! \
