Hi,
I wanted to ask how to paint a color over a face in Photoshop. For example if I wanted to paint a person's face like a clown with the color white or red or purple or blue. How would I do it ?

I'm not talking about physical paint but like face painting.

I'm using Photoshop CS5.

You can try using the brush tool with the mode set to color dodge if color used is lighter than skin or color burn if darker.

You can also desaturate the image to make it black and white and then use the overlay blend mode on the brush or on a layer and color it that way.

You can do that by putting/drawing the paint you want in a separate layer that's above the layer containing the face then use blending modes to make them fit.
