The Perfect TEARDROP - Face Paint Fundamentals

[@esmietana]

You are amazing on this tutorial! I like how you describe the paint brush dancing.

[@fairyfox]

Thank you!

[@mikapang5797]

Okay, I am spending 5 mins practicing this everyday, thank you Laura!

[@fairyfox]

habits are so hard to form, but they are how we can truly change anything about our life!

Muy bonito, me gusta tu trabajo,he aprendido mucho gracias a tus videos aunque no entiendo tu idioma,

[@sandrabeckers6302]

Your video’s are so great to watch. In a pleasant way, I learn so much! 💕 I just have to find the time to practice practice practice!! Thanks Laura ❤️

[@fairyfox]

I totally hear you! finding time is tricky- try pairing it with other jobs- it helps so much. Have you ever tried a budha board? they are great for practicing line work- they sit on your counter, and every time you are chatting on the phone you can practice.

[@beutifulnitmare]

Thanks so much this is so helpful to me. I am an acrylic painter who also does far painting. I love all the techniques you showed us to practice and get better.

[@brendaperez6926]

Wow! Thank you for the tips! Definitely going to use this video for reference when I practice tear drops.

[@fairyfox]

Wonderful Brenda!

You are so incredibly welcome!!!

[@chrisspurdens244]

Thank you so much for all the great advice. I am overwhelmed by brush options. Any recommendations?

[@fairyfox]

Blazin’ brushes are great.

[@chloedeburghrelax]

Thank you! You’re videos have really helped me develop my skills 🙏💖

[@fairyfox]

happy to hear it Chloe

[@BerlinDnB]

So helpful and inspiring!! I was wondering, as we cannot see when you reload your brush, how many teardrops can you do before having to reload? As a beginner manage only 3 max before running out of colour..

[@fairyfox]

So many things effect this! But a good load on a good day… maybe 10

[@debrabunszel4226]

Thank you!

[@fairyfox]

You bet!

[@samidubzart6538]

seriously you are the best best best, thank you for making these videos ✨

[@fairyfox]

Glad you like them! I LOVE sharing my passion with you all.

[@havawill4833]

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing these tips. Does it matter which brand of paint you use for the teardrops? Thanks for your help.

[@fairyfox]

Some brands work better than others. Wolfe is a universal favorite for linework.

[@havawill4833]

@@fairyfox Awesome! Thanks so much.

[@facesbysugarnataliediningr8276]

Such a great video thank you

[@jeff3971]

Envy you, teardrop master

[@fairyfox]

Thanks Jeff, your comment made me smile, my family would agree,, I am really good at crying! hahaha - just kidding. I think one of the ways you can tell a facepainters true age is by checking out their tear drops.

[@brendaedwards1048]

Hi can you tell me what size brush is best for tear drops

[@fairyfox]

Such a good question! I love every size! #4-5 is my go to- but I drop down to a #1-2 and all the way up to an #8. It is really fun to watch how much it changes a design, by just changing which brush you are using! Define your own success, so try and see what teardrop look you are drawn to, and then that will let you know which tool you need.

[@amselabernathy9067]

Thank you

[@Justonevideoplease]

I feel like no one does perfect teardrops everytime and I also think the kids don’t know what we’re stressing over lol they really don’t care 😹it’s all in our heads! EDIT: ok maybe YOU do perfect ones everytime lol

[@fairyfox]

So not true! Mine are far from perfect, but that is my style- fun and flowy. I try and paint by an 80% rule. If I can paint 50 kids at 80% good or 60 kids at 50% good or 25 kids at 90% good- I would pick the 50 kids every time!

[@paulamoors]

What brush are you using? Got it

[@fairyfox]

glad you did. :)

[@eventocriativo6761]

🎉tks!

[@ollerlappen6535]

Now i am not a teardrop master, but a teardrop disaster. 😩 I will practice, practice, practice. I promise.

[@fairyfox]

Oller, I love love love your comment. Made me smile.

[@kalipetrou8522]

Hello! Which brush is the perfect for teardrops? Number and brand please!

[@fairyfox]

None, and all! The perfect brush is a relationship- and just like not everyone could be happily married to me, my brush might not be your brush. Also, the age of the brush matters, a brand new brush will not make perfect tear drops, and a really old one wont either. All that being said- I like Loew Cornell (yellow handle) #5

[@kalipetrou8522]

@@fairyfox Thank you so much

[@无娴]

[@fairyfox]
