Tip 2) Apply a light base coat with a sponge not a brush.

Tip 4) Master a crisp brush stroke and use artist brushes

Ensure you fully load the paint brush with paint, and have a couple of practice strokes on your hand before applying to the kids face if its too wispy then add more water if its too watery then then dab off the excess.
