Stork Bites/Birthmarks

Buffington · Guru

I use them on the back of the head or neck hun. I take my mop brush and take most of the color out of it (don't want it too dark). Then I just put a few marks on the baby and ever so lightly, pounce it with a sponge. Don't over-analize it or you'll want to lighten or blend more. Just do it and bake. :)

I haven't done a storkbite/birthmarks. Is there a certian color to use? ie: blushing or flesh tone? Just curious to Know?

Tina W. · Guru

I think just a darker blush color. I've done a few using a darker red in my blush color. I'll first blush the area then added a darker color to that area. (hope that made sense LOL)

Yep, just a darker blushing color will work but don't put it too dark or someone will think the poor baby is hurt :o It's usually done on the back of the neck or in the scalp (or both).

I usually put the storkbite in the area at the top of the nose between the eyes because many babies seem to have some red there. Sometimes I also put one or more in the scalp. I usually add a storkbite at the base of the neck also.

I usually apply the storkbites on using the dark blushing color with a stipling brush because I like the effect of a group of distinct dots. After I apply it, I bake it before I change my mind. I think the color lessens in intensity after it has been heated, and the effect can always be muted with another layer of flesh color if you thik it's too much.
