Fan conventions are some of the best places to see facepainting that has been done by both professionals and amateurs. They are where people meet up to share and show off their passion.

Comic and Anime conventions have some of the most varied facepaints. They range from complex to simple and cover all genres from your favorite superhero to zombies. A recent trip to Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (C2E2) gave me an opportunity to see a lot that I will share with you, along with directions on how to to achieve similar looks.
