Below you’ll see step by step how to create a cute bunny face paint design on the face. This design is easy, quick, and perfect for beginners.

With the white muzzle, long ears, and soft pink details, you can create a recognizable bunny or Easter bunny in just a few minutes.

Step 1: White muzzle

Using a finger sponge with white face paint, create a rough outline of the bunny on the nose and forehead. Make one of the ears angled for a floppy ear effect.

Step 2: Pink inside of the ears

Use a brush with pink face paint to make the inside of the ears pink.

Step 3: Pink nose

Use a brush with pink face paint to create the nose. I made a heart shape, but a triangle or oval works too.

Step 4: Hair tuft

Use a thin brush with white face paint to create a little hair tuft between the ears.

Step 5: Outline

Use purple face paint to outline the ears and the bunny’s hair tuft.

💡 Tip: Use purple instead of black for a softer and friendlier look.

Step 6: Extra details (optional)

Add some linework on the temples.
