With the excitement of Pandora the World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World, I wanted to share with you step-by-step instructions how Fathers and Daughters can get into the Avatar Spirit. Now, I theme park a lot, so I wanted our Avatar face paint tutorial to give you and your kids a little Na’vi flair, but not necessarily cover your whole face because when vacationing in Disney World you want to cherish this memories with photos and you want to recognize your kid’s faces. So in this case, I believe less is more.

Here are the supplies you’ll need:

A makeup palette with a Royal Blue and Black Base

White Acrylic Paint

Royal Blue Acrylic Paint

Brown and Yellow Acrylic Paint

Pointy brushes for some fine details and some larger one’s for the base.

STEP 1:
