You can share with friends and end up with unusual colours...a strip of black, white and blue makes a gorgeous dolphin and if you want to blend a rainbow, just wipe your sponge across the colours and gently drag round the face.

I cannot find them anywhere. Are they the snazaarro face paints? I would appreciate any replies on what are nice liquid face paints to use.

I keep praticing though with the cakes. I have been using the Mehron, but can't find the 1oz jars anywhere. Found one site that sells them but when i recieved the paints, 1/2 of them were lumpy and not good. Have never heard or tried the snaz liquids and might try them since i cannot find the mehron paints. I tried both and like the ligid better since i can never get the consistency right on the cakes.

I wish they made bigger jars that is my only complaint. They are beautiful don't rub off or sweat off easily and I just love them. The cakes are cakey and even if I spray them they don't always stay wet. Especially when it's hot out. I can water down the liquid and it still stays fluid and beautiful. Liquid is better and if you haven't tried the snaz liquid you should. the colors are more beautiful and vibrant( the sparkle and metallic especially. And when you're painting high volume it is cleaner. Hi,

So, a little skill is needed to get the right consistency but its pretty easy with some practice. You will need to wash your brushes after each model.
