Indian war paint has been around for a long time, dating back to the native American tribes. In this tutorial, I am planning to demonstrate how to do 5 easy tribal face paint designs that you can use for your next Native American inspired costume!

For my next design, I wanted to travel back to 1995, where the movie "Braveheart" stars the iconic Mel Gibson who played the role of 13th century Scottish warrior William Wallace!

For the third design, it's a little bit more simple, but has a sophisticated feel to it, in terms of color. This is a breezy take on Khloe Kardashian's GNO styled war paint!
