Australia Day Face Paint: Easy Green and Gold Ideas for the Whole Family

Australia Day face paint is one of the easiest ways to bring some colour to 26 January. Whether you're heading to a community event, a beach barbecue, a game of backyard cricket or a citizenship ceremony for someone special, a few stripes of green and gold help the whole crew look the part. FANBRUSH® applicators make it simple, with no brushes, sponges or water cups to pack.

Why FANBRUSH® Works for Australia Day Face Paint

Every FANBRUSH® applicator gives you 100+ applications, so one applicator can look after the whole family, the neighbours and the cousins who turn up late. The multi-line tip lays down neat, even stripes of colour, so it's easy to apply, and the kids can paint each other while the grown-ups fire up the barbie.

When the day is done, the colour washes off easily with soap and water. FANBRUSH® has been bringing team colours to fans since 2004, and you can order the full range online at fanbrush.com.au.

Green and Gold Looks to Try This Australia Day

Our FANBRUSH® Australia green and gold applicator is made for the day. Here are a few easy looks to try:

• Classic cheek stripes. One sweep under each eye is simple, bold and looks great in the family photos.
• The forehead band. A single stripe across the forehead sits nicely under a bucket hat or cap.
• The full cheek. Go over the same spot two or three times for a bigger patch of colour. Kids love this one.
• The little extras. Use the corner of the applicator to add a small star, a heart or "AUS" next to your stripes.
• Matching crew. Give everyone in the group the same look for a great group shot at the park or the beach.

Prefer gold on the outside? The FANBRUSH® Australia cricket applicator swaps the order to gold, green and gold. Australia is home to families from all over the world, and plenty of people like to wear green and gold alongside the colours of the country their family came from, so browse our Nations face paint range too.

How to Apply Your Face Paint

1. Start with clean, dry skin. Colour goes on brightest and most evenly on a dry face.
2. Hold the applicator flat. Rest the multi-line tip against the skin so every colour touches at once.
3. Sweep in one direction. A single smooth stroke gives the neatest stripes. Go over it again for bolder colour.
4. Add the details. Use the edge of the applicator for letters, numbers or small shapes.
5. Pop the cap back on. Keeping the cap on between uses keeps your applicator ready for next time.

Tips for a Big Day Outdoors

• Pack it in your beach bag. The applicator is small enough for a pocket, so you can touch up your colours after a swim.
• Keep it in the shade. Store your applicator in your bag or the esky bag rather than leaving it in the sun.
• Set up a colour station. Hosting a street party or club event? Put a couple of applicators on a table and let everyone help themselves. With 100+ applications per applicator, there's plenty to go around.
• Paint before you leave home. It's easier to get everyone ready in the kitchen than on a crowded foreshore.

Great for Clubs, Schools and Community Groups

Australia Day events are often run by local councils, surf clubs, sporting clubs and community groups. A few FANBRUSH® applicators on the welcome table is an easy way to add colour to the day, and our Party Packs are handy if you're painting a big group.

More Green and Gold All Summer

Your Australia Day applicator won't sit in the drawer once January is over. Green and gold is just as handy for the cricket, the Matildas, the Wallabies and every other big moment on the Australian sporting calendar. FANBRUSH® is officially licensed by Cricket Australia and Rugby World Cup 2027, and you'll find every nation in our cricket face paint range. Every applicator is made with all-natural ingredients, and it's Quality made in France.
