Highlight Eyes
Begin by painting eyelids with a pearly shade of eye shadow. Pick a color to match her costume, like shimmery blue, pink or purple. Use a wet eye shadow for this, or a shimmering face paint (Image 1). Tip: Paint all the way up to eyebrows so the color is easily seen. Using a sponge or finger, blend a lighter shade of pearly eye shadow over and above eyebrows (Image 2).


Apply Blush
Brush pink blush on apples of cheeks, continuing up to the highest point of cheekbones.

Apply Jewels
Center then apply self-adhesive glittering jewels on forehead like a princess' tiara (Images 1 and 2), then apply additional jewels under eyebrows, on cheekbones or anywhere you like (Image 3). Tip: You can find self-adhesive jewels in the scrapbooking section of your local craft store. Make sure your child doesn't have any adhesive allergies before continuing with this step.



Apply Glitter
Keeping away from the sensitive eye area, dab face lotion on the cheeks and surrounding the jewel tiara on forehead. Have model close her eyes then apply cosmetic glitter where lotion was applied.

Finishing Touches
Paint lips with a sparkly pink lipstick or tinted lip-gloss (Image 1). Finish the look with a fairy princess costume. Pick up a pretty costume at a local costume store, or make it yourself with a hand-tied tulle ballerina tutu and any sparkly top. Add a floral fairy crown, wand and fairy wings (Image 2).
