Introduction

1. Starting with a good foundation of your design layouts is the first essential step. Most of us have designs that we feel very comfortable and confident and achieving. Now to take it to the next level, we can add small details, stencil, work, and sometimes glitter and bling to make the design go from ordinary to wow. 
2. Princess example: my typical princess has a heart shaped right on the forehead with a one stroke, then other strokes around it, as well as one stroke around the eyes. Changing up the shape of the focal point, or even the orientation of the princess crown entirely can make the look more intricate. (Forehead working down, vs Hairline placement)
3. Brush size: sometimes even using a smaller brush can make your face paint more detailed. So if you typically paint with a size 4 or five round brush, try using a size 2 or three. This will force you to add more teardrops, swirls, and other line work to fill in the same amount of space.
4. Favorite brushes: size 2 or 3 round. Kingart, the paint hub.
5. Adding highlights: a great way to add extra flair to existing lines is to add highlights on top. I like to do this for my Spider-Man lines, tribal looks, and tiger stripes especially. Starting off with a dark color or black and going on top with a lighter color helps for the lines to look more 3-D.
6. You can also add highlight by using metallic colors on top of Matt colors. Or even adding stencil work on top of existing color.
7. Examples of colors used for highlight here: Superstar metallics, and GTX pastels
8. Filling in empty space: well I am a firm believer. That less is more a lot of of the time, if there is a lot of empty space that stands out like a sore thumb then that is an opportunity to fill it with something cool. This could be line work, stencil, glitter, or whatever you feel will add to the final face paint.
9. Trying new things: the fun part about being artists and creative is that we have creative freedom. I am guilty of staying in my comfort zone sometimes, especially on my busy face paint days. But during times that may be slower, or events like birthday parties, where you may not have as many people to paint, these are the ideal times to try out new techniques. The worst that could happen is that you don’t like what you paint, and if that’s the case, you can always fix it to be to your liking.

After discovering the face and body art world at FABAIC 2014, she quickly fell in love and went on to win her first body painting competition in 2019. In 2020, she launched Hartworks: Face and Body Art and soon began teaching with FABATV, later sharing her skills at international summits, conventions, and festivals.

After attending her first FABAIC in 2014 she quickly realized just how vast and fascinating this industry was and fell in love.

By 2019 she knew she had hit her glass ceiling with the before mentioned company but knew she wanted to explore her solo career.

After taking a year to figure out exactly how she wanted to proceed she began her own company, Hartworks: Face and Body Art, in 2020.

The year 2020 was a test of resilience to say the least, but she was granted the opportunity to film online classes for FABATV! Her first class, “Magical Butterfly”, aired in August of 2020 and was the first of many!February of 2021 she became an artist rep with Face Paint Forum Shop and remained a rep until 2023.
