Thank you for your post. Your daughter was only 3 that is why she was so vulnerable. I had my daughter painted on Royal Carribean Cruise, they used cheap paints, some come from china etc. this particular brand gave her horrible swelling with rash, scar like tissue all over her face, it was horrible, she was in pain and had high fever, Royal Caribbean paid for all medical expenses for us, she needed to be treated immediately with strong steroids and antibiotics. DO NOT EVER EVER EVER BUY CHEAP PAINT!!! ps. you could contact an attorney and start filing a suit against tne brand name, the royal carribean painter had many brands and "forgot" which one she used on Julia. (it seems she ran of orange and used something else...:( p.s. everywhere where that orange was, the stripes black were fine, and the body was all raissed lumps, imagine with all the stripes (for the black) how my daughter looked like-like scars on face!:(( I am a face painter and only use paridise and snazaroo paints.

But I'm glad your daughter is ok and that it was a one time happening. It's so important to buy excellent products when it comes to face painting. Cheapos just don't work as well as the good stuff and it shows! Wow!! That was really a scary experience! But I’m glad your daughter is ok and that it was a one time happening.

In the ED--we see many with reactions to all sorts of products-my daughter was allergic to peroxide! You never know. If unsure, test first Good luck!

One of my daughter's has not started preschool yet, so she and my son are home with me. She is my practice person and I am so happy that she loves to be painted. She does have her days though, but the health and well being for not only our children, but the ones that we paint are on the line too. Thank you for your article on your personal experience with "cheap paints". Wishing you and your family well... A fellow Painter and Mommy, Julie Agcaoili Hey there Erika,

I am very thankful it all turned out okay with your daughter too. Philadelphia's site is one of the first ones I came across when I was searching for ideas this month (newly started with face painting) and I am so appreciative for her guidance. Thanks for sharing your story luv! It helps to have good information and makes our lives much less complicated! Hugs, Tina Hi Erika,
