There are actually a number of cosmetics and makeups that can be used for kids as well as adults. Depending on the effect you want to achieve, you can simply use adult makeup palettes, or you can go with a makeup designed for face painting.  For face painting, you can either use makeup sticks that are like large crayons designed for skin, or you can buy face and body painting palettes that are applied with a brush. Kids usually have more sensitive skin than adults, so look for a hypoallergenic product or something designed for sensitive skin. Try to choose makeup colors that complement the color of the costume. For instance, if the costume is pink, blue, or purple, any of those colors in makeup will look great with the outfit. If the costume is green or yellow, opt for one of those two in makeup shades. Many craft stores and costume shops sell face painting stencils that make it easy to create intricate designs with makeup. You can also create your own stencil by drawing a design on paper and cutting out the spaces you want colored in.  To use a stencil, press the stencil against the face in the area you want to draw. Dampen a sponge with water and press it into your makeup palette color of choice. Blot the sponge over top of the stencil to fill in the open spaces with makeup. You can also do a base color underneath and put the stencil over top in a darker color. Instead of using a stencil, you can also create your own fairy makeup design. To achieve this, you can use either the brush and palette makeup or the makeup stick to draw butterfly or fairy wing shapes around each eye.  Start with a darker color, such as blue or green. Begin drawing at the inner corner of one eyebrow. Draw a rounded line up and out toward the hairline. Stop when you get there, and then connect a new rounded line going around the eye. Come halfway under the eye, make a V, and continue the design down the cheek, stopping at the bottom of the ear. Now connect this with the original starting point at the inner eyebrow. Now retrace the inside of this pattern with a coordinating color. Repeat for the other eye.
