So you are new to facepainting? The amount of products and tools can be very overwhelming.
You might just want to paint kids at your childs birthday party or you got roped in to paint at a school gala. Here we will explain and suggest what products you need to get started.
We have 2 different kinds of paints, wax based and glycerine based.
They can be used together, no problem. All of our paints are water activated, vegan and hypo-allergenic.
They're all 100% safe for skin, however some colours may stain a little.
We suggest to remove face paint with lots of water, a little soap and for more intense colours use anything oily that’s ok for the skin.
Wax based face paints are paints with paraffin wax. They are especially good for line work, very pigmented, vibrant and come in regular, pearl and neon colours.
The main wax based brands are - TAG, FUSION, Face Art, Global, Graftobian, Wolfe, and Diamond FX. Many believe that these paints may all come from the same factory, but others prefer certain brands. Most of these paints come in the same packaging.
Our brands are Face Art, TAG and FUSION.
Glycerin based face paints are easier for blending since they are more flexible and take a bit longer to dry on the skin. These paints are fine for face painting, but this is something we would definitely recommend for full body painting!
Our brands are Superstar whic has the largest colour range with regular and pearl colours. We also sell Mehron Paradise, a beautiful range that smells like a tropical island!
Of course depending on what you are painting for, you can adjust your colours choices.
White: for highlights and accents and little flowers
Black: for line work, think tigers and spiderman
Red: for super heroes mostly
Orange: for tigers, cheetahs, etc
Yellow: for tigers, lions, etc
Blue: for water, sky and snow inspired designs
Green: for leaves, monsters, lizards
Brown: for bears, zombies, etc
Pink: for princess designs, butterflies, flowers
Purple: for princess designs, butterflies, flowers
All these colours are in our Face-art Palette and is for most the easiest place to start.
One-strokes are the small, rainbow coloured, rectangular paints, designed to be used with a large #12 Flat brush.
You can create endless designs with these and there are so many to choose from.
But just starting you will want to have a proper rainbow like the Rainbow 4 or Leannes rainbow. As rainbows never go out of fashion and are super easy to do.
