Snazaroo have asked us to find out what Mumsnetters’ Halloween face painting tips are.

Here’s what they say, “Letting children just be children, to play, run and imagine is important for every parent and a little face paint can transform everyday play into a magical world of make-believe.

"Sometimes face painting can be tricky but we’re here to help. We’re always thinking of easy ways for you to create designs children love. As they turn to see who is in the mirror, the magic shared will be remembered long after the paint has been rinsed away.

"Go on, paint a smile and see what happens”

So, what face painting tips or designs do you have to share with other Mumsnetters for the spookiest time of year? Maybe you have an easy three step design to transform your DC into a vampire? Perhaps you've got that skeleton look down pat or are good at turning out mini monsters or weeny witches? Also, is there anything in particular you enjoy about face painting? Is it the creativity of it? Or seeing how much your DCs enjoy it? Whatever it is, we’d love to hear it!

It would be particularly great if you could also post a picture on this thread of your Halloween face painting prowess

Everyone who posts on this thread will be entered into a prize draw to win a £300 Love2Shop voucher!

Our Corpse Bride ?? Make sure you use a sponge for the white to smooth it over then a really thin brush for detail.

Use eyelash glue as skin-friendly adhesive for any ghoulish creatures you may want to stick on your face/body! It dries clear as well, so no horrible white glue marks!

I love experimenting with face paints. Practice, practice, practice.

My daughter likes to keep it simple, she doesn't want to scare herself!

Children don't want their faces painted anymore so I just did me! ;)

loved all this trying of different designs xx

Had so much fun painting the children's faces for halloween. My first attempt at a sugar skull - my daughter loved it

My son with his Day of the Dead inspired face painting. This was my first ever attempt at it and Im quite pleased

We had 3 fantastic Halloween parties and thanks to snazaroo we all looked great. My tip is remember to wear gloves when applying the coloured face paints and invest in a good brush it will last years.

Most faces can be done in a basic three steps.
Step 1 Apply your base colour/colours with a wedge sponge (work with lighter colours before darker ones ).
Step 2Draw the picture or details of your face with your brushes and colour them in.
Step 3 Add finishing touches and details, such as sparkle

I just google images - this year we did the 'Day of the dead' theme, then print and copy as best I can!

We tested. My daughter selected the rainbow design.
Product was great - definitely my favourite face paint
