#1. Butterfly Camouflage Face Paint Design by Marina
Step 1: Layering the Base
First we paint our basic shape of butterfly. As always, I'm using petal sponge and Lush split cake from KrazeFX palette.Try to paint your butterfly as symmetrical as possible (I'm using wet wipes to correct the shape).
Step 2:Adding Colors
With my filbert brush and brown from KrazeFX fundamentals palette I'm adding camo colors.This is gonna be a great butterfly for boys too.
Step 3: Finishing Camouflage Color Combination
In this step we are adding other camo colors to our camouflage butterfly design. KrazeFX black and medium green from KrazeFX Lush split cake are great for layering over the base color. Play around with shapes you can't go wrong.
Step 4: Soft Lining
"Soft lining" is something that i like to do when i don't have time to do the line work or I just want the design to have soft edges. For this I'm using a blending brush and black mehron starblend powder paint.

#3. Fierce Camouflage Face Paint Video Tutorial by Linnéa Önnerby Novak
Check out this awesome camouflage face paint tutorial by Linnéa Önnerby Novak!
A very cool pattern that suits everyone, boys and girls, is camouflage. I love the darker colors and the wild pattern, and I still want to look fierce even if there is no fancy line work or glitter.
I only used a palette with single colors and one brush to create this design, so everyone can do it! Imagine the swirl and have fun and you will rock this super fierce look!
Happy painting!

#4. Camouflage Mask Face Paint by Pam Kinneberg
This camouflage mask face paint design combines two elements that are very common to be seen together...just walk into any sporting goods store and you have camo and deer in abundance! Boys will love this mask and it is super easy to paint!
Step One: The Camo
Start the design by painting the lower portion of the mask. I like to use a 3/4” flat brush (Art Factory’s is my favorite!) and paint a crescent shape under each eye. I find it easier to make both sides identical doing it this way. Then fill in each side with a camouflage pattern using a #4 round brush. To make this design balanced, I painted a mirror image of the pattern on each side. Paints used are: Superstar Skull, FAB Ocean and FAB Dark Brown.
Step Two: Front and Center
With the 3/4" flat brush, paint an arched area in the center of the forehead using a one-stroke. This is a one-stroke I made. For placement, pretend there is a V going down to the bridge of the nose...and the arch goes at the top. I used the Deer Boomerang Stencil in the center of the forehead with FAB Dark Brown paint and a sponge dauber to transfer the image.
Step Three: Tribal Line Work
The design is completed using tribal line work in dark brown. Note the image in the upper right corner...this is where to start your line work. You are basically making a sideways V and arching the line over the eyebrow. Then start adding the swirls and other lines. They all branch off from your base line. Keep in mind to always curve the lines rather than making them straight. You are curving around the eye.
Step Four: White Accents
Use skull white and a round brush for all your accent dots and line work. It makes the design pop and ties in with the white part of the camo below they eyes.
And that is it! Practice the tribal line work on your arms or legs to get it memorized. This design comes together fast! There are many variations of camouflage color combinations ranging from greens, browns, grays, blues and even pinks! Google “Camouflage” to check them out and try it in a different color.
