How to Make Your Face Look Like a Burmese Cat

Dressing up as a cat for a costume party or as a face painting for children at a carnival requires knowledge of what a particular breed of cat looks like. You can create a general cat with a pink or black nose and painted whiskers. However, if you want to create a Burmese cat face, you need to be familiar with the way this type of cat looks so you can paint your face to match.

    • 1

      Cover your entire face with a base of a light color, such as light tan, light gray or light brown. This base provides the lighter-colored edging on the cat's face.

      Spread a darker brown or gray color beginning on the bridge of your nose down to the edge of your nose, covering your entire nose.

    • 3

      Apply the same darker color around your eyes and at an angle from the corner of your eyes toward your mouth.

    • 4

      Leave most of your cheeks, your chin, your forehead and the sides of your face in the lighter color.

    • 5

      Cover the tip of your nose with an even darker shade of brown or black to create the cat's nose.

    • 6

      Paint thin white whiskers on your face, extending from your nose toward your cheeks.
