What is a face painting technique for the cheek?

One technique for face painting on the cheek is to use water-based colors. Apply the colors from light to dark. Apply a thin first layer of paint, then go back over the paint with a second layer to deepen the color.

Dab the paint on the cheek with a brush or sponge to create various effects. Add the colors first, then follow with a black outline to add final design details and finish the look. Free-hand cheek art is one technique, but another idea is to use a stencil to create perfect art every time.

To add a final touch to the cheek, add some sparkle by applying non-toxic glitter used for fabrics.
