When covering large areas, apply thinly, let dry and apply more. That will help with that cakey look. This is a cute pic! Use a sponge to apply. And get closer to eye? There's actually a website called facepaintingtips.com LOL
Oh, and I'd google images if I wanted ideas. "face paint on model" "face paint art" brings up some nice things. "amazing face paint" has some pretty bizarre things..:-)
Though not traditional face paint, I've been haunted (in a good way) by a portrait I saw in this month's Popular Photography magazine. If you go to www.popphoto.com, it is on their homepage. Basically, it is a woman in a mud mask. I love it!
@cmc1200 Oh that is COOL! My daughter took my french clay when she got married (with my blessing - I'm very glad too since it helped heal my little grandbaby's spider bite!) I was just thinking I should get some more, and when I do, that is on my list!
@michellegaynor I love it! Is it actually paint? OR did you make some sort of corn starch goop or something? I can't do something like that, I don't have such an awesome chin. In fact, I hardly have a chin at all!LOL
It is body paint, stood my gorgeous daughter on a tarpaulin in a strapless white bra and pants, next to my shower room and poured it over her. Virtually NO editing done here this is natural evening sunlight. Very messy but BEAUTIFUL shots.

try a b&w portrait and use selective colour for the face paint like this...
