Tips

These are some basic tips to help you get better at face painting.

●     Use a sponge, not a brush, to fill in large areas.  This makes the painting process much quicker.

●     Keep a different sponge for different colors. This eliminates the necessity of washing out the sponges so often.

●     Layer on color thinly.  If you put on the color too thickly, it can crack.

●     Know what you’re going to paint before you start.

●     If you have a line of people waiting to be painted, tell the next person in line to start deciding what they want on their face.  This will  save you time.

●     Remember to take a mirror with you so people can see their faces after they’ve been painted.

●     Take a lot of tissues with you for cleaning your brushes and hands.

●     Wear an apron or old clothing to protect your clothes.

●     Most paints can be removed with soap and water.  Cleansing cream can be used to remove stubborn marks.
