And if we tell you that with our TATTOOPEN temporary tattoo markers, it's easy and quick to create, it's even better!
Let's take on the challenge together with 6 super cute animal makeups: unicorn, turtle, bee, teddy bear, octopus, and giraffe. You can draw them with just one TATTOOPEN tattoo marker, but it's even better with colors!
We love: being able to do makeup for children without necessarily covering their entire faces. Some of them don't like that too much but still want to have a cool animal makeup. This temporary tattoo with our water-based inks is made for them!

How to achieve precise lines with our TATTOOPEN markers?
Follow our instructions and tips to make precise lines and succeed in all your makeups!
For a thin line:
Hold the marker perpendicular to the skin and draw the line without applying pressure on the tip.
For a thick line:
Simply tilt the marker, and your lines will become thicker! Also, the more you press on the tip while drawing, the wider the line will be.
A piece of advice, practice: it's best to do some tests to adjust the thickness of the lines and dots. Start with simple geometric and abstract shapes before moving on to more elaborate makeups.

1/ Unicorn Kids Makeup
Completion time: 5 short minutes.
We love: its magical aspect. Who knows why, this legendary creature generates incredible enthusiasm among kids, especially among fans of fairy tales and fantasy stories.
Color suggestions: go wild with pink, blue, yellow, and orange, in a rainbow fashion.
To keep this makeup easy and accessible, we focus only on the upper body: the head, neck, horn, and mane.
Step 1: General shape
Follow our model to draw the silhouette of the unicorn, with generous curves, almost like an uppercase R.
Make sure to add a curved line (also rounded) on the curve of the shape to create the snout.
Step 2: Ears and the Famous Horn
No unicorn is complete without a horn, we can all agree on that!
To make sure not to miss it, position it nicely on the top of the head and draw stripes.
For the ears, add a small circle on each side of the horn, then a larger circle on each small circle. Too easy!
Step 3: Eyes and Details
Let's give our unicorn some personality with its eyes and other details.
Draw large, expressive eyes on the face of the unicorn. Add eyelashes for a more whimsical look.
You can also add small dots or stars around the unicorn to enhance the magical effect.

2/ Octopus Makeup for Kids
Completion time: 5 minutes.
We love: the graphic nature of this makeup, with the tentacles that give it movement. The octopus can easily be transformed into a jellyfish, it's up to you...
Color suggestions: a combination of blue and green for an aquatic look.
Step 1: The Head
Creating the octopus head is super easy: simply draw a half-oval shape (half of an egg) and you're done!
Then, add two circles for the eyes and a dot inside each circle for the pupils.
For the eyes, feel free to make a cross-eyed octopus, kids will love it!
Step 2: The Tentacles
You don't need to be a drawing pro to succeed with the tentacles, simply because they should all be different for a more realistic look.
Draw 6 elongated shapes starting from the head.

3/ Bee Makeup for Kids
Completion Time: 5 minutes.
We love: an insect that fascinates children, after all, we owe it honey!
Color suggestions: guess what! This time, we go for the classic with yellow and black.
Step 1: Head and Wings
For the head, draw a simple oval shape.
Then, on the right side, add a slightly triangular shape to form one wing, followed by a thinner one (it's hidden behind the first wing).
Step 2: Body
Draw a horizontal elongated shape, ending on the right side with a pointed tip: the famous stinger, ouch...
Step 3: Stripes
Next, draw wide stripes and color them in yellow and black.
For the finishing touches, don't forget the antennae and, of course, the eyes!

4/ Turtle Makeup for Kids
Estimated time: 5 minutes.
We love: the simplicity of the lines. You might not think of it, but a turtle is super easy to draw. And so adorable!
Color suggestions: This makeup works well with just outlines, without filling. Choose your preferred color from your Tattoopen markers.
Step 1: Overall Shape
Draw a half oval and a base, resembling a snowball.
Step 2: Scales
To draw the scales, follow our pattern: a rounded horizontal line to create the top of the shell, then two vertical lines for the lower part.
Step 3: Head and Legs
Now all you have to do is draw the little legs and head, don't forget the eye and tail.
To create this Turtle makeup, you will need:
5/ Bear Makeup for Kids
Execution time: 5 minutes.
We love: how cute it looks. A bear that's just waiting for a big hug...
Color suggestions: let your imagination run wild, and if needed, get inspired by the Care Bears universe.
Step 1: Overall Shape
Our bear is lying on its stomach, so the first thing to do is draw a horizontal line for the ground.
Next, draw the outlines of the head and body, which are two rounded shapes, similar to the upper part of a heart.
Step 2: Ears, Legs, and Tail
Add some small circles (imagine pebbles) here and there, and you'll start feeling the bear's presence!
Each of these elements (ears, legs, tail) is recognizable based on where it's placed.
Step 3: Face
Three small vertical lines on the top of the head create the fur.
Two colored circles serve as the eyes.
For the bear's nose, draw a small triangle with the tip pointing down.
To create the bear's mouth, draw a vertical line starting from the nose, then two lines on each side.
To create this Bear makeup, you will need:
6/ Giraffe Makeup for Kids
Execution time: 5 minutes.
We love: this animal appeals to all children with its gentle gaze and long neck.
Color suggestions: yellow and brown.
Step 1: Head
Draw a horizontal oval, topped with a half-oval, and that's the shape of the head.
Next, draw the ears and antennae (two mushrooms).
Two dots for the eyes, two dots for the nostrils, and a line for the mouth... And there you have it!
Step 2: Body
From the head, draw a long neck leading to a rounded egg-shaped abdomen.
Just add the legs and the fluffy tail, too easy!
Step 3: Spots
Let's move on to decoration! Draw rounded spots all over the body (including the neck), color them as you like, and your giraffe is perfect!
