Add 1-2 teaspoons of water, a little at a time, until the mixture reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency. If you do get a special request for a 4 leaf clover, paint a green x and then paint the leaves more elongated and try your best to leave a gap between the leaves to help keep the shape of each leaf. I use a Bolt Small Firm Blender Brush to paint the rounded edged leaves, pushing the edges of the bristles against the skin and twisting it to make each half of the heart shape for each leaf. I used Fusion Prime Deep Green in the image below for a strong contrast with the white highlights and the skin color. You can also try these with metallic green colors for extra shimmer!

Add a drop or two of food coloring and mix well. Adjust the amount of food coloring to achieve the desired shade. Additionally, face painting can be a great activity for children, helping them to participate in the festivities and get excited about the holiday. If you find yourself with a client that has a nice full beard that wants to add an Irish twist to it, what about using the colors of the Irish Flag on it?! You could do it all in green or orange as well and add some glitter to spice it up. You can use water based face paints to paint beards, but I can't guarantee if the pigments will wash out easily from their hair, especially if you are painting a blonde beard. Make sure to warn the model that they might need to wash their beard very well a couple of times if they see any lingering green. I usually avoid painting 4 leaf clovers because it is a lot harder adding that 4th leaf with out all of the leaves getting smooshed together into a blob." -Anna Celtic Knots: Paint intricate Celtic knots in green and gold on your face for a unique and intricate look.Pot of Gold: Paint a pot of gold on one cheek with gold coins spilling out, and a rainbow leading up to it on the other cheek.
