Face painting special effects

A common peeve I hear from people getting their face painted is the trouble with downing their favourite drink, or water afterwards for fear of washing away the paint. This is for those face paintings which need paint on the lips as well – and then having to use a straw to down your beer for the next few hours.

So thank heavens for water proof face paintings, I have just ordering a new batch of those for all the pool parties, the waterslides and the fountains. And of course the cocktails and mocktails. Who says paint and water doesn’t mix? Looking forward to making some mermaids who can go for a dip afterwards. And for those from the Sherlock clan who are wondering how to get water proof face paints off, you just use soap!

Another one on the menu are neon or glow in the dark face paintings. Who says adults can have all the fun – kids parties after dark can also light up with neon face paints. They are great for festivals too, what better way to find your friends in the dark.

Or if you are in the mood for something more intricate then I also work with different media to make face paintings like the below.
