Meet Your Coach!

Hi! I’m Laura, the face behind @facepaintcoach101 and @colourmebodyart, and I want to ask you a very honest question:

Are you tired of watching endless, random social media tutorials, copying a design step-by-step, but feeling frustrated when your own results look messy or inconsistent?


If that sounds familiar, don't worry, you could simply be missing the foundations.

Many face painters dive straight into painting complex designs without fully understanding the underlying mechanics. But trying to master an advanced tiger or a princess crown without nailing your core skills first is like trying to build a house on quick-sand!!


That is how FacepaintCoach101 was born, to help you grow the foundational knowledge.


I am a Certified ((since 2018) ) Professional Face Painter and an official Coach at the International Face Painting School. Over the last 3 years, I have helped many students around the globe troubleshoot their art. Through my coaching, I’ve learned that true mastery doesn't come from memorising 100 different faces, it comes from mastering the core fundamentals.


I am here to help you build an unbreakable foundation by focusing on:

  • Paint Consistency: Knowing exactly how much water your brush needs for sharp linework.
  • Muscle Memory & Structure: Swapping chaotic, random practice for a clear, step-by-step learning system that yields predictable, professional results. 
  • Placement & Focal Points: Understanding why a design works on the face, not just blindly copying it.

Let’s stop scrolling through random videos, strip away the confusion, and build the structured skills you need to paint with absolute confidence.


Grab your brushes, and let’s elevate your art together!
