Game Day Spirit: Easy Soccer Face Painting Ideas 

Feel like your soccer matches are missing something? Maybe that something is the perfect game face to intimidate your opponents and cheer on your team. Show your pride with these seriously sporty face paint designs.

SOCCER DESIGN

First, build your base. Using a small flat or filbert brush, create one large white circle at the center of the cheek. When you’re done, put the white paint aside. You’ll need it later.

Next, add shadows. Grab gray paint and fill in portions of the ball to create a shadow effect.

Then draw in the soccer ball pattern. Using a small brush, paint a black star in the middle of each of the white circles. Connect each point of the star and shade in, making a pentagon. Draw lines directly out from each of the points of the pentagon and paint little triangles on the ends of each of those lines. This will give your soccer ball its classic pattern.

Finally, add the details. Outline the ball with a thin, black line using a small brush. With that same small brush, you can add white embellishments to the black shapes on the ball to make it appear three-dimensional. Use a glitter poofer bottle to add some sparkle, if desired, and get ready to take your spirit to the soccer field.

SOCCER MASK

Now, take your creativity to the next level and learn how to achieve the soccer mask look.

First, draw three white circles — a large circle on the forehead and two smaller circles next to the eyes using a small, flat or filbert brush.

Next, draw in the soccer ball pattern. Using a small brush, paint a black star in the middle of each of the white circles. Connect each point of the star and fill it in to make a pentagon. Draw lines from each of the points of the pentagon to the edge of the ball and paint little triangles on the ends of each of those lines to give it that familiar soccer ball pattern.

Next, outline and add a few details. Outline each ball with a thin, black line using a small brush. Then, using that same small brush, you can add white embellishments to the black shapes on the ball to make it appear three-dimensional.

Finally, add your team’s colors. Using a medium, round brush, paint fun flares in your team’s colors. Define the eyes and add some fun! Use a glitter poofer bottle to add some sparkle, if desired. You’re ready to take your spirit to the soccer field or stands!

TEAM SPIRIT DESIGNS  

These eye-catching looks are sure to add some spirit to your next tailgate, game day or big celebration.

For this first look, start by creating lines in your team’s colors using a medium, round brush. Begin near the eye and paint down the cheek. Remember to clean off your brush in-between colors.

Then, add details. Using the same round brush, include some dots to spice up the design.

Top it off with some sparkle using a glitter poofer bottle and make sure your living canvas closes their eyes.

For another, start by creating an eye black-like brush stroke under the eye using a medium or large filbert or flat brush. You can do this in your team’s primary color.

Then, add a second line of eye black in your team’s secondary color.

Now you’re ready to be a festive fan cheering from the stands.
