Face Painting Ideas for All Adult/Blacklight Face Painting?

Perry..I would love to see some pics too!!

That sounds sooo cool Perry! Pics are a must... please!!!!

ok, the event is on the 9th and I'm sure there will be cameras around

I do a LT of UV in the uK & HK.
1) dump UV white, none of the brands ever look great. Also its v unusual for a club to have strong enough blacklight (apart from in flashes) for UV white or most of the colours to look as good as it does in some of the pics people posted on here.
2) make UV rainbow; its fast and easy and looks good - use black on top for designs
3) stick to eyes stuf, its a club, they'll be too drunk for full faces AND sweating/ kissing each other so do as much eye type stuff as possible - tribals, swirlies, butterflies, etc.
4) as said yellow, green, pink, orange all fab in all brands; blue/ purple NOT. Kryolan UV is brighter than Wolfe/ DFX but is sort of chalkier and not much good for linework. If you only get 1 brand I'd stick to wolfe. DFX as it does both if a little less bright.

is my usual UV kit (along with kit for self paints the promoters got me to buy!), most of the bigger pots are Kryolan rest is DFX. And this was in a brighter-than-average UV light. Yes thats a cake of UV white at the front...useless! Pus theres a pot of liquid fardel UV not even glowing at all...

5) Don't bother with blending or any other colours - just take UV and black. Subtle blends won't show up and aren't easy with UV which is not the same consistancy as normal paints. Plus you want the smallest kit poss to avoid it being grabbed/ knocked over/ spilt on etc...

6) Wear a headtorch; at worst it makes clients have to close your eyes but at least you can see what you're doing!
