Each color combination was designed to the exact specifications of world famous face & body artist and instructor: Jinny (as seen in the video). The large surface of the rectangular cake has equal amounts of each color and are made with the smooth and creamy Paradise AQ make up that blends seamlessly on the skin to a vibrant finish.

Application with Sponge:
Dampen sponge in water, ring out any excess water. Begin by placing the sponge at one end of the Prism cake and swipe the sponge across to the other side, back and forth without lifting the sponge. This helps keep the lines in place. When sponge is fully loaded, place on the area to be designed and “pat” colors onto the skin.

Application with Brush:
Wet the Custom Designed Square Paradise AQ brush (1 inch or 3/4 inch) and place it at one end of the Prisma cake and swipe the brush to the other side, back and forth without lifting the brush. This helps keep the colors in place. When the brush is fully loaded begin your design by placing the brush on the area to be designed and brush the colors on. Remove with soap and warm water.

I’ve had many requests about how to paint gold/silver metallic ‘live’ statues so I decided to write a blog post about it! This is quite simple to do and it looks amazing! We hand pick all the supplies that we sell and the best products to work with to achieve this shiny metallic look is without a doubt – Mehron Metallic Powders and Mixing Liquid.

The Face & Body…

Mix Mehron Metallic Powder with Mehron Mixing Liquid. Use about 2-3 times as much liquid to powder and make sure it is thoroughly blended before applying, eg. no lumps.

www.livingstatues.com

You must only mix a little at a time as the alcohol evaporates and will not keep for long if pre-mixed, so mix a little at a time as you work.

You will need 1 bottle of powder and 1 bottle of Mixing Liquid 4.5oz per slim female body, but its a good idea to have one in reserve in case of spills or accidents.

The mixture can be applied with a brush or a sponge, though a sponge will absorb lots of the product, which is quite wasteful, and not give such a smooth finish as a brush.

If you are covering large areas, such as a whole body, you will need a large brush.

We recommend Mark Reid’s Body Brush.

www.livingstatues.com

When you have finished painting, you can polish with a soft powder puff or cloth.

Because the finish using the mixing mediums is resistant to touch, it is also resistant to glitter adhering, so you would need to use an adhesive for glitter to stick.

The Hair…
The product can also be applied to hair, but we would not recommend that it is put

on bleached hair as there have been issues with a green tinge lingering afterwards.

Use the same mix as above.

www.livingstatues.com

The Fabric/Clothes…

The product can also be applied to fabrics and props so that everything matches.

Use the same mix as above!

TIP: When painting a model from head to toe, make sure to get them to bend their elbows/knees as you paint them so you can cover all the creases properly – if you don’t you will see the patches as soon as they bend!!

TIP 2: If you want an amazingly shiny, chrome-like finish -  mix the powders with an oil such as Baby Oil, Vegetable Oil, Olive Oil etc. It can be applied very easily using your hands, kind of like a massage. This will look incredible, but be aware – it will also be very oily! Anything that your model touchs will be affected and it will take lots and lots of shower gel/soap and hot water to remove it from the skin.

NOTE: If skin is sensitive it should not be applied near the eye/mouth/nose area because of the alcohol in the mixing liquid – alternatively the metallic powders can be used dry in those areas.

Below we have a photo of the models/ dancers who performed with pop star Pink at the 2011 Grammy Awards Show!!

They are wearing Mehron Metallic Powders & Mehron Mixing Liquid

a design incorporating one stroke roses creates an effective design.

Hello Face Painting friends.

I had a lovely job a few weeks ago where I painted a family for a Masquerade Party. I had around 10 minutes per design including talking to them about what they were wearing so my design would complement thier clothes, so these were fairly fast designs…Please note that the family had to travel a way to their event so they left thier clothes and lipstick off until they were there, so they are slightly unfinished.

I have posted some pictures to inspire you with your own mask designs.

Lace Mask-a pretty design to complement a white dress with black sash.

Here are a few tips to help you create your own mask designs:

- Use the figure 8 on its side as guidence, this will give you a good indication of a flattering mask shape that suits all face shapes.

- Use techniques you are comfortable with. This will allow you to confidently create a design on the spot, showcasing your strengths.

- Practice working out designs on your practice head to get an idea of how the shapes will flow on the face.

Filigree Butterfly, a jewel inspired mask

- Have some fun and replicate the outfit worn by the person.

- Add liquid glitter, gems and even feathers for extra glamour.

- Google “masks” in google images online to get inspired by a huge array of mask designs.

- think outside the square – a snake wrapped around the eyes could become a suitable mask.

here are some designs from the family I painted, and a few extra I have painted recently.

I talked him out of a full skull face into something more mask-like

a bright mask inspired by her colourful clothes

STEP 1:

Using a damp sponge, cover the bottom of the face from below the nose to the jaw line, with a yellow base. Then sponge the top of the face with orange paint.

STEP 2:

Apply the white detailing with a brush. Paint a wide/moustache’ underneath the nose and across the top of the lip.

Add two upside down triangles at either side of the bottom lip to create fangs.

Then draw white spiky eyebrows above each eye and 3 white strokes at the corner of each eye.

Add extra white strokes along the side of the cheek, just above the jaw line. Leave enough space between each line to add in more color at the final stage.

STEP 3:

Color the tip of the nose black and add black strokes to the white eyebrows and at the corner of the eyes.

Do the same between the white lines on the jaw line and them at the edge of the mouth and fangs.

Finally paint a line from the middle of the nose to the middle of the top lip and add black dots on the white moustache.

And finish with 3 whiskers on each side.

Hello Painting Friends,

The Australian Body Art Awards (ABAA) was a great success last month – it is always wonderful to be surrounded by Face and Body artists. I enjoyed teaching, competing and learning. I was also delighted to win First place in the Special FX Body Painting competition. The prize for that event was sponsored by bodyfx.co.nz  inspiring  me to create a turorial video using their special FX. I have also used the skin pallette, available from here, in this video.

Hello Everybody,

I am  a big fan of one stroke face painting with split cakes, it makes face painting so fast and beautiful! It’s great to see you can now buy the Diamond FX Split Cakes on here. Today I have  put together two flower step by steps for you to try, using the (one stroke) Mini Split Cakes and a 3/4 Inch Flat Brush.

The first design, Frangipani, can be painted using the DFX Mini Sunset Split-Cake, just use the side with the white for this design (don’t pick up the violet). You can also use the DFX Mini Jungle Split-Cake for the leaves in both designs. You can use the DFX Mini Party Split-Cake for  the rose design (don’t pick up the violet).

Last month at the International Make Up Trade Show Sydney I was lucky to meet the famous Make Up Artist & Teacher Koren from Enkore Make Up.

He told me he really liked face painting as well and would make a Halloween Design Video Tutorial using Diamond FX as soon as he got back home, which he did and now it’s available for you to watch right here! It’s a very cool Stained Glass Styled Mask that would be great for adults and teens:

Step 2: Sponge on metallic yellow between and under eyes. Sponge Sea Green in middle of forehead, temples and cheek area.

Step 3: Sponge on Blue between the Sea Green areas. Blend colors.

Step 4: With a #4 Round brush, add a black nose, lips, muzzle and whisker lines.

Step 7: Outline fangs in black and fill in with white. Best to use a #2 round brush for smaller details such as these, but a #4 is fine.

I love when face painters are able to combine face painting with story telling. It brings so much more depth to the face painting design and makes the expereince for the model/audience so much richer!

Christopher Agostino is a master at this. In this video he tells the Japanese tale of “The Demon on the Bridge” while painting the “Demons” face on the model. It is sooo spooky! I was hooked the whole time! It’s probably too scary for the younger kids, but teens can really get into it…but thats my opinion…watch the video and let me know what you think!

The story is about 10 minutes long so if you have time and somebody wants a ‘demon’ face painting design you might want to tell this story. It would be awesome at a Halloween Party!!

“Tiger Face Painting Designs”
By Annie Dunlap

Hello,

Tigers are my ultimate favorite face design.  They were the easiest to learn and because I can vary the color scheme–I can please lots of eager faces with just one design

These are my niece and nephew-Sophie and Jake.  Sophie wanted to be a rainbow tiger.  Sure enough–little brother wanted to be one too–to Sophie’s dismay!!  She didn’t want her little brother to be “the same”.

Thankfully, the ability to change colors in the design was just the ticket–two “different’ tigers, two happy kids-one happy Dad!

“Fairy Garden Tea Party!”
Tracy Mangan

My son and my daughter always shared their birthday parties every year since they are both born in August.

This year my daughter, Autumn, wanted her own girly party, so we decided to have a Fairy Garden Tea party.

I always love throwing my kids their birthday parties and making it extra special.

I did a lot of research and found a great “How to” video on You Tube using your Arty Brush cakes.  She made it look so easy .

So I bought it to use at my daughter’s party to give that extra effect for Fairy eyes.  I only practiced doing the makeup 4 times before the party because it was just so easy to do.

When the party was here, I set up a pretty station for the girls to come one by one and started to paint their faces.

I was very nervous, since this was my first time doing this.  I got more confident as the girls were walking away with big smile on their faces.

Also the parents were amazed this was my first time.  The end result was just perfect.  The face paint made their outfits look absolutely perfect.

Thank you so much for making this product so easy to do and making my daughter’s party a fairy-tale dream come true!!!

“Bear Face Painting Design”
By Ben Bonser

Hi Philly.

Here’s the step by step for a bear design.

(1) Start by sponging a white, biege or yellow muzzle around the model’s nose, mouth and chin. You should avoid the nose, lips and the groove between. Also add a round lump near the lips as shown.

(2) Next, sponge the upper part of the model’s face brown (or a butterscotch colour) avoiding the jawline and area next to the chin and a small area around the eye areas. Painting over the corner’s either side of the bridge of the nose makes the brow seem lower and this illusion will be made clearer in the next step.

(3) Using a darker shade of brown, sponge a broad area over the jawline either sides of the face, the temple’s and the eye areas you’ve left uncovered. Paint the lower eyelids and the ‘lower socket’* with the same colour. Blend the light and darker brown to make a softer appearance.*lack of better words for it.

(4) Using black, paint in the model’s nose, lips and groove. Then the whisker dots, the small lines on bridge the model’s nose (just above the muzzle), the lines under the eyes and the eyebrows.

(5) The finishing touches:-
-Paint feathered darker brown lines around the edges of the face and under the eyes as shown.
-Paint the white whisker lines and the large dot on the nose.

Final Note: I was thinking of blending both an orange patch on the upper cheeks + cheek bones and an orange column on the fore head to add a ‘luster’ to the design. I thought of this after I put the designs together. GAH! Hate it when that happens.

Anyway, hope you like this one.

Catchalatah,

Ben

Boys Face Painting Designs: One of the biggest problems face painters have is not knowing what designs to use for boys.

And even if you know what designs to use, alot of the time the problem is not having the right techniques to make those designs really ‘pop’ or be ‘scary’ or give it that ‘wow factor’.

So, I found the best instructional help out there for boys face painting designs The “Boys Will Be Boys” DVD from one of the best face painting teachers in the world – Mark Reid!

Mark Reid is a good friend of mine, I’ve taken his classes, interviewed him, modeled for him and now I’m promoting his new DVD because I just know that his designs, techniques and teaching skills are first class.

“Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My!”
By Anne Dunlap

Hello.  I too am new at face painting but I really love it!

One snowy night this month gave me the opportunity to test out my new palettes on my snowbound children. They wanted a”Lion and Tiger and Bear” theme so I did my best.

I’m sorry I have no video to show while I painted but there are a few of me doing the work!

Hope you enjoy- the bear was quite tricky!!  Apparently she wanted to be another tiger!

“Carnaval Face Painting”
By Luísa Santos

Hi Philadelphia,

First of all, thank youfor the teleseminar, it was most useful!

I would like to share with you my latest face painting experience… As I’ve mentioned before, Portugal is not big on face painting and it is very hard to get a gig here, especially if you’re working solo.

Well, we have a festivity here which is called Carnaval, when people all get costumes and paint their faces and go party! (similar to your Mardi Gras, I think).

This year, the company I work for invited me to paint at the shop where I work. It was not a payed gig, but it was an amazing opportunity to practise, hand out business cards and have LOTS of fun with children and grown-ups. I tried lots of designs, got photos for my blog and managed to put big, happy smiles on people’s faces.

I can see from early pictures of my work that I’ve done significant progress.

I surely have to thank you and your Face Painting Tips blog for it, as well as because you have been my teachers from the beginning. I have never attended a single workshop, because I can’t find any good ones here, but your tips have made my life so much easier

I hope that, some day, I’ll be able to attend your classes in the flesh and benefit even more from your experience. Here are some photos of an amazing day.

“Sneaky Face Painting”
By Sue Pearson

Hi, I’m rather new at face painting and was painting at a family birthday party. The Birthday girls uncle didn’t think he cared to have his face painted, so when he was napping on the couch, I snuck up and painted a sideways smile on him! He did wake up but then said “well that does feel good, like a massage, so I said let me paint your eyelids too, and he agreed to that!

“What Goes Around Comes Around”
By Natalee Farrugia

Hi Philadelphia,

I would love to share a story with you about a Little girls birthday Party. Renee was so excited when I arrived all dressed up in my Fairy outfit that I was greeted with a huge hug!

Renee was very excited and was expecting over 20 of her preschool friends due to arrive at 11.00am. At 12.30pm only 3 had arrived… poor little thing was so disappointed needless to say the parents were a not happy either.

They asked me to leave as there was no one else to paint… I offered to stay and play games and jump on the jumping castle with her and her 3 little guests…  and only charged her for half an hour of my time.

The parents were so grateful and the little girl said I was her best friend and it was her best party eva!!…. talk about a warm fuzzy feeling!!

It did not matter about the money it was the happiness I bought to a little girl and her family that was priceless…

It turned out in the months following that Renee’s mum spread the word and Nat’s fancy faces booked 4 parties… What goes around comes around!!

“Find Your Brush!”
By Cheryl Henderson aka Mrs. Bunny, The Clown
I recently had the opportunity to do face painting for a one year old’s party. The birthday girl didn’t have a clue to what was going on, but the older kids and adults were scrambling to get into my chair. This is a far cry from my early days when the kids would take one look at my feeble designs and head for the high ground! Back then, I only did cheek art because I thought it was easier and safer for a non-artist like myself. Boy, was I wrong! A wonderful person named BeBe, The Clown opened my eyes to the world of the sponge and full face painting. I am forever grateful!

I always carry pictures of face painting designs to help me remember them. At the one year old’s party, the kids would look at the designs and want me to do their faces exactly like the picture. But since I had grown (a little!) as a face painter I was able to do the design, but in my own style. After they saw the finished product they forgot all about the picture! That taught me a valuable lesson: do it your own way! I can’t capture the style of someone else because, frankly, I’m not them! I can look at the design and make it my own by changing the stroke or color, by adding a line or tear drop or some glitter. The key thing is to face paint according to the picture you have found in your heart; your own heart! The more I tried to do a design exactly like Heather or Philly, the more frustrated I became. What made it worse was that I couldn’t remember everything they did so I would go back to the video and watch it over and over and I still couldn’t get it!

Then I remembered Heather said that we didn’t have to do it exactly like her, but to find a way that worked for us. That finally began to sink in. As I relaxed I began to “find my brush”. After this, ideas started forming and I was able to work more smoothly. Even my repeat customers could tell the difference! (I’ve attached some of my designs and a pix of me with my “Baby Bunny”. She loves to tickle!)

I did an outdoor festival recently. Although I was nervous, I saw it as a learning experience and an adventure because that’s what life is! I was concerned that I wouldn’t get many customers, but when the children (and some adults!) saw the designs the line formed and I worked about 3 hrs. straight! As I was leaving, a lady in the booth next to me jokingly said, “Maybe now the rest of us can make some money!” I guess I have arrived as a face painter. Yippeee!!!

Had a great time this Halloween, I face painted at work all day to raise moneyfor Children in Need , it gave me a chance to practice every thing I havelearned and I had a lot of very happy children that day, with a lot of scaryfaces.

I managed to raise around £100 in the 7 hours I painted and I can’t waifor next year. Wished I had the time to take photo’s though, i thought you mightlike to see 1 face I did the night before for a Halloween party, he scaredeveryone in sight once he was dressed up as  a devil.

Hi Philadelphia- I wanted to show my display boards.  I got the ideas from other face painters.  I used a black board 30″x40″ (76x102cm) that is about a 1/4″ thick.  My mother picked them up at Office Depot I think.  Then I laminated my pictures using Self- Adhesive Laminating Sheets (also bought there).  No laminator needed.

Then I velcroed the backs of the pics and attached them to the board.  Since I am new at painting, I cannot always remember how I painted something.  This way, the child, takes the pic off and hands it to me so I can reference it.  When I am done I stick it back on.

I have 3 of these boards- they each hold 25 4×6 pics.  Then I have a cheek art display.  I bought a piece of white poster board, I painted cheek art samples on this board and then I took it to a print shop to get laminated for about $5.

Other ideas……I LOVE DaVinci Soap to clean my brushes.  You wet the brush and stroke the bar of soap back and forth and the color keeps coming off.  It’s wonderful!  I also heard Ivory Soap works well but have not tried it- I am sure it is cheaper.  I just keep my soap in a plastic soap box.  Also, here are 2 recent pics I did.

“Face Painting Tips”
Sent in by Erin Wainwright

My name is Erin, elementary teacher and face painter located in Montréal, Canada! Since I wrote on your Blog last, my small business has picked up and I am actually doing quite a lot of work! Since I started off quite small, with very little money, I’ve decided to divulge how I got my small enterprise up and running.

SAFETY FIRST!!!

I searched the net and learned as much as I could about safety. Being a teacher has taught me a lot about liability, and since children are most often who we paint, you can never be too careful.

I spoke to my bank and found out that I could purchase public liability insurance through them. I did not start taking jobs until I knew I was fully insured.

I learned what paints were safe to use, and how to properly clean my brushes and sponges. I use a mild anti-bacterial soap on my tools; I make sure that everything is COMPLETELY DRY before putting it away for long periods of time.

MARKETING!!!

Since I was starting off on my own, I did not actually have heaps of money to invest. I began researching free advertising sites that would allow me to post pictures and contact information for free. I found the following websites extremely helpful! craigslist.ca , kijiji.ca , mypartyplanner.com , eclassifieds4u.com , classifieds.ivarta.com , olx.ca , classifiedads.com , isell.com , buysellcommunity.com , canadianbusinessdirectory.ca , partypop.com , peoplefield.org , ifind.ca .

To figure what to charge my clients… I called other face painters in my area to give myself an idea of what my prices should be. I have two pricing systems in place now. I charge by the hour, but the cost of a party with a limited number of people is lower than a large event with an unlimited number of faces to paint.

I bought perforated business cards from a local paper store and began printing my own cards and brochures. I always make sure that when I’m at a party or event, that my cards and brochure are visible. People often just pick a card up, even if their child isn’t getting painted.

VOLUNTEER AT SCHOOL EVENTS!!!

Since I’m a teacher, this one was easy. I painted at the end of year event at my school, I made sure that everyone I painted got my card and through this I was able to reach many potential clients.

I sometimes paint my nephew and give him my cards when he is invited to a friend’s birthday party, that way the other parents can see my work and give me a call if they are interested.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE!!!

I needed to find a professional face painter’s kit, and I wasn’t having much luck in the “real world”. It is easy to buy individual cakes in our local stores, but I was having a hard time finding large kits. I finally found the SNAZAROO Canada e-commerce site, run and operated by Ontario’s own Dotsy the Clown. www.dotsytheclown.com . I am very happy with their service and I intend on using their website as much as possible to replenish my supplies.

I wanted to be as self-sufficient as possible, so I bought my own portable pic-nic table, parasol and buckets. This way, when I arrive at an event, all I need from my client is access to water.

It is also very important to have a cell phone with an answering system. I make sure that my phone is turned off when I’m working and that my business name is on the voice mail. This is professional and allows you to get back to people who may have called.

I hope that my story will be of help to those who are just starting out. My initial investment to start my business was about $600.00 and I turned a profit after my sixth job! I wish everyone who is in this field of work the very best! I love what I do and I hope that I get to continue working as a face-painter for a very long time!

“Face Painting Asleep” – SF Competition
Sent in by Natalee Farrugia

Hi my name is Natalee, I am a mum with two young boys who has been face painting for about a year and a half now. I love your tips and look forward to all your blogs.

I would like to tell you a story about a beautiful little girl aprox 18 months of age who sat down to get her face painted. With each stroke of my brush her little head got heavier and heavier in my hand and before I went to dip my brush in to get some more colour, this gorgeous little girl was fast asleep in my hand.

I have had several comments on how nice it feels to have your face painted but this is a new technique mums could try at home to relax young kids…(my tips are good quality soft brushes and WARM water) and in winter I like to warm my paints up a little by soaking my paint pallet in really hot water before I begin.

I also LOVE using starblend white powder with a (wet) foundation brush for my tiger designs it looks fantastic (see pic attached)… I am loving every minute of face painting and am looking forward to learning more and more.

“First Face Painting”
Sent in by Jan Volkmann

I’m hooked!  After downloading Philadelphia’s e-book and watching her tutorials, I knew I had to give this craft a try!  I was asked to do face painting at a Independance Day celebration July 13, and admitted needing some instruction.  I’ve painted on lots of surfaces, but never on faces!

I ordered the Snazaroo cake paints and couldn’t wait to get started.  I found it’s one thing to paint on my own steady hand or a glass plate, and quite another to paint on a mobile 7-year-old.  But my granddaughter Hope allowed me to “practice” on her, and the attached photo shows the result of my first attempt.

Thanks to a great website and fantastic tutorials, with a little more practice I think I can do it!

“Face Painting in South Africa”
Sent in by Sarah

Hi! My name is Sarah, I work as a missionary in South Africa. I got in to face painting a few years ago. We started out doing face painting for underprivileged children and now we use it a lot as a fund raiser for our work.

Recently I felt that I needed to upgrade my face painting so therefor I started to search the web for idea’s.  I’m so happy I did as I found this very inspiring Blog  with so many tips  etc. and I can see a big improvement in my face painting. I would like to thank everyone involved in giving tips and especially the video tutorials.

Thanks again!

Keep up the good work it’s a big help for many, I’m sure!

Bye!
Sarah

“Step-By-Step Eye Face Paint Design”
Sent in by Harmony Roth Shabtai

Step 1. Paint with white over the eyelid, living the center empty.

Step 2. Make a blue circle in the middle, and fill it with a lighter shade of blue.

Step 3. Draw a black dot in the middle of the circle, and outline in black the white and the blue.

Step 4. For a more realistic eye add 2 white dots on the black in the middle.

Step 5. Even more realism is achieved by adding dark red to the Sides and some thin lines across the white.
