white paint-best brand?

Always the problem with the white paint.. snazaroo and kryolan are too transparent I think and never really stay that white on top of other colors even when blended thick- got some better suggestions?

Wolfe White for line work.

Yep, Wolfe.

Wolfe for white and black.

Wolfe Wolfe all the way!!! It is AWESOME for black and white!

Depends what you are doing.

Personally, Snazaroo and Kryolan are my best bases for faces. Fardel cream as a base for body painting.

I get a nice sold coverage with all of them (technique is everything )

For line work I am using Wolfe. I have old stock - in the black pots, which I have to say works better than the new stuff in in clear stackable containers.

I'm with Shannon - I LOVE my kryolan for bases. For line work, Wolfe. Hands down.

When Wolfe isn't available (b/c I'm using my mini kit or something) I'll use TAG.

Wolfe or DFX for line work (if you can't get your hands on Wolfe)
Paradise or Snaz white is what I use for bases

Wolfe here for line work, too, though I still have to get the technique down for having it look opaque over darker colours. Sigh.

For bases, I favour Snaz or Superstar white, though I've heard very good things about Paradise. I do have a TAG pearl white that I adore, and I want to try out the Cameleon white too, as I've heard a few happy opinions on that.

I guess I just suck at getting the right amount of water when I do the base for a skull or something, it's never that even like it is in the example pictures.. and I have been doing this for about 10 years^^ I'll try wolfe like so many recommended but I guess I just have to use less water with snaz:) Unfortunately I have to pay so much for paints considering the shipping.. The only brands you can get here at stores are snaz and a really sucky brand with a joker on it whatever it's called..something german:) like the price on snaz instead of kryolan, don't know how it's everywhere else but in Sweden Kryolan is almost double the cost. thank you all!

I think the joker-face brand is Eulenspiegel? I've never used them but I've heard mixed reviews. And as for Kryolan, I think that stuff's expensive everywhere, especially the Interferenz colours!

Wolfe or DFX... I don't find any difference between the two.

Wolfe White and Black for linework.

I am enjoying my starblends white for bases at the moment.

Hmmm I wish I could figure out how to get a good solid base with my starblends....do you use the smoothie blenders Melinda?

Kept to the base colors mostly from snaz, tried gold and silver(which I didnt care for much) but never tried any more sparklies/metallic colors from any other brand so I see from your comments that I have a lot to learn in ths business as to what colors and brands are out there

yuppers, smoothie blenders are the best

For a base with Snaz, I squirt my cake with my spritzer and wait a few seconds, so that a lot of the paint gets activated. Then I pick it up with my dry sponge, and I dab, dab, dab, stipple, stipple, stipple, ... It gives a nice, smooth and opaque finish that way.

For linework I use PartyXplosion, which is waxier I believe.

thanks, will try:)

The Joker- face is Eulenspiegel, good for base and good to remove. But for linework, you need a other brand. I like TAG, DFX and Cameleon. You can mix a liquid white or black in a small pot with demineralized water. I works fine and you can use the rest of colour from an empty pot. I make crumbles with less water and work it together with the end of a teaspoon.

Went to Disney world today and I saw them using grimas, the black line work looks opaque but I was thinking could be better than the strong bright from wolfe, white line work looks like wolfe too.

I like DFX, I tried black wolfe, but it seems a bit thick for me. I prefer DFX.
