STEP ONE | STAR STENCIL
Begin this design by using the Derivan stencil and a spouncer or sponge, loaded with purple paint. Place the stencil in the middle of the forehead, lowered slightly towards the nose, and gently dab the purple paint onto this stencil.
To avoid the paint running, you may want to dab the spouncer or sponge on a towel or piece of paper towel after the purple paint has been applied, in order to absorb some of the water in the paint.
STEP TWO | TIARA BASE
Use the smaller star stencil from the same stencil sheet, and repeat the process of application to create two more stars on either side of the central star, raised slightly above the central one.
STEP THREE | WHITE DETAIL TECHNIQUE
Using a round brush loaded with white paint, place the brush slightly above the centre of the central star to create a dot, then drag the brush down, moving it away from the face as you do so, in order to create the tapering strokes.
Repeat this twice more on either side of this central stroke, starting each line slightly closer to the star in order to create the dynamic shape seen in the image.
Create five more strokes below the central star using the same technique as above, except dragging the brush upwards to create strokes towards the central star from the bridge of the nose.
STEP FOUR | WHITE DETAILS
Use this same technique to create three lines beneath each secondary star, with the central line of each being slightly longer than the two on either side of it.
Using the same tapering pressure technique as before, create curved strokes that begin at the edge of the eyebrows, towards the forehead. Create three strokes, with the outermost of these being the shortest.
STEP FIVE | TIARA BAND
Using the purple Derivan Kindy Glitz, connect the three stars to each other by creating a dotted line. Extend this line beyond the secondary stars towards the hair line.
Starting at the hairline at the top of thread, slightly to the left, create a dotted line towards the central white line extending from the top of the central star. Repeat this to connect the central white line to the hairline on the other side of the forehead.
STEP SIX | KINDY GLITZ DETAILS
Using the kindy glitz, create three dots that extends from the bottom of the central white line below the central star, down the bridge of the nose.
Create another three dots that extend downwards from the bottom of each of the white curved lines at the edge of the face.
STEP SEVEN | FINISHING TOUCHES
By mixing red and white paint create a pink face paint that can be applied to the lips to create a finished and elegant look.
