Hi guys
I have been using Grimas, Kryolan, Paradise for years and have just discovered the world’s most fantastic White and Black from Diamond FX. They are all great products and have a variety of uses. Try them all and see what suits your style

Thanks Toni Anne!
That’s some good advice, try a bit of everything then see what you like best!
Hi,
I buy my face paints(snazaroo) in Dublin. They vary so much in price from €7 to €8.50 depending were they are bought. I like these the best. I haven’t seen many different brands here. It is hard to get glitter and I usually have to but it from a very expensive make-up (beauty) shop.
I’ve tried Kryolan and like it a lot, but I find the white goes on a little sheer when applied with a sponge, giving me a streaky look I don’t like. Should I just be sponging on two coats, am I applying it too thinly with the sponge, is the sponge too dry..?
Is Snazaroo paint more pigment-dense?
Hi,
You may have mentioned this somewhere, however I have not seen it as of yet. What is starblend powder and on what designs do you feel these may be good for? I noticed it on the Spiderman design by Silly Farm and it looked so smooth and easy to blend…any thoughts? Thanks!!
Hi Alana,
When sponging you should be dabbing the paint on. If it’s streaking you’re probably dragging the sponge, instead of dabbing it.
Experiment with two coats, sometimes that works for me, but it’s not great when you’re trying to finish a design quickly.
Your sponge may be too watery, but I can’t say for sure…because I can’t see what you’re doing, so experiment with adding more water.
And remember, never wet your sponge, always wet the paint. If your sponge is too watery it will definately streak.
Hope that helps!

Hi Donna,
Starblend powder is a powder based make up that can be used for base colors in face painting.
It’s great to use on any design that has two ‘layers’, like what you saw with the spiderman/venom design. Use the starblend powders to put down the red and black base coat, then use face paint to paint in the web.
Powders are great for large areas, but when it comes to detail use face paint.
Hope that helps!

I use Snazaroo all the time and have never had any trouble with it. When I teach face painting they all get a small kit to get them started and never question my choice of paints. When I’m doing a job, many parents ask about the paints I use and I have the advantage of explaining about Snazaroo being safe for skin . I have tried Wolf and I like some colors of that too.
