Hello from Ireland!

Hello!
I am a beginner face painter from Co Meath Ireland. I have been face painting for about a year, mostly on my kids, myself, and a practise head! I have my first volunteer gig at the end of the month and am so excited! This has to be one of the most enjoyable crafts I have ever done and I am loving every minute of it but still have a lot to learn. I am so delighted to find this forum as of yet I don,t know any other face painters and I am amazed at the amount of talent and helpful advice on this forum. I look so forward to chatting to you guys!
Have a great day!
Rachel

Welcome to the Forum!

Welcome to the forum!

Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm in Galway city.

Welcome to the forum. It's an incredible resource for all of us.

Nice to meet you all, so glad I found this web site!

Hi Rlindsay

Where did you get your practice head?

Hi Gisrus

I got my head from dauphines.co.uk, it's a grand tool for when I,m sick of painting on myself! Was not cheap with the postage included, about euro 50,
I try to practise on my kids as well but they sick of it lol! You can get heads on Ebay.co.uk, again postage makes them a bit expensive but haven't found anywhere in ireland that you can buy them!

welcome! I got most of my snaz paint from the uk too...

Thanks for that. I reckon I'll have to bite the bullet and order one.

I order all my paints, except Snazaroo, from

http://www.facepaint-uk.com/

Snaz is readily available at 5 different shops here in Galway city. I love the sparkle paints.

I think it's worth having one, I find if I paint too much on myself I come in a rash as I,ve sensitive skin! They are not as good as real skin but I still find it a good tool to practise with.
I find facepaint-uk great. Do you find that your snaz paints go all gooey in the sun? I know we don,t have that problem too much in Ireland lol, but I did my first fair last week, it was very humid and my paints went to goo, it was an eye-opener!!

Well you know Galway is wetter than wet but yes the sparkle paints sometimes go gooey.

Also, there are threads on this forum dealing with face paints in hot weather.

Hi Gisrus
