How to put it together

  3. Add a scarf, glasses and paint smudges if you like.
  4. Strike a thoughtful pose as if judging a masterpiece.

Two variations

  • Messy Genius

    Add many colorful paint smudges on your shirt and a tiny mustache made of eyeliner.

  • Gallery Guest

    Wear all black with a scarf for a modern art-critic vibe.

Safety note

Use only skin-safe face paint with a patch test. Do not carry real paint or brushes with sharp ends.
