Face painting that can last for 2 days?!

I happen to stumble across this website that proclaims that "Our face painting designs can last up to 2 days". What the heck?!

What's everyone else's experience?

interesting.
without washing maybe? why would you want it to last 2 days and what the heck would it look like by the end of the second day?
I have painted my legs before - practicing - and then put my pants on over it and forgotten about it - the next morning when I go to have a shower it's still there - the clothes take off the top layer but it stays put, no smearing or smudging - so I suppose it's possible - but whenever I have let my daughter go to sleep with it on most of it is on the pillow case in the morning and her face is a mess.
So maybe - with no sleep AND no shower.
I have noticed that my face paint holds up sooooooooo much better then my make-up though.
Maybe they are painting with Tattoo ink -

No face paint I know lasts for 2 days & I always tell parents not to leave it on overnight(it'll ruin the pillow & all ladies know they never should sleep w/ make-up on).

I went to pashurs workshop last Tuesday and without rubbing and taking really good care of it, I had my rose still painted on my arm...Everyone thought I had gotten a new tattoo! Obviously I used wolfe and DFX which are some of the stronger stuff, right?

We had a parent tell us that their boy refused to wash it off and kept it on for a couple of days - but I would never suggest to anyone to do that, nor make any kind of statement like that.

I wonder if Lucid Arts gave permission for them to use the pink butterfly picture they have in their photo gallery? I've had that pic saved for some time in my "inspiration" folder, it is lovely.

We are about to find out...I am gonna ask...thats ok, right?

Dude, it looks like even some of the Henna stuff may not be theirs as well! looks like photo stock pics. Also makes you wonder if other pics in her fp gallery are taken as well!

The Canadian flag/maple leaf one on their front page slideshow is an Istock photo. I guess if they paid to use it, they can use it, but if they didn't paint it themselves it's misleading.

I was considering dropping a line to Lucid Arts to ask, you just never know if they did give permission.

I wouldn't want to use someone else work on my site, even if it was a stock photo. I agree, it would be very misleading. Makes me wonder about the testimonials.....

Um, i already send Lucid Arts an email just in case. The canadian flag looks like a photoshoped face painting, right? hmmmm

Diamond/Wolfe can last two days if it doesn't get wet. But it will fade a bit. Normally it will last best on arms/legs and not so much on the face - guess it is more oily. But I always tell my costumers they should remove it before bedtime and that it don't look good the next day. And in the face normally it will not!

It's an Istock photo. Here's the link:

You can pay to use these... but it's not right to make it seem that it is their own work.

Also off their site "Modern materials make it easy to produce colorful, creative designs." ......yeah, no kidding! lol

Judy,
This is the same company that advertisers every hour on kijiji in Calgary. I wanted to advertise my services on kijiji, but the ad for fantasyfaces is there so frequent, that you don't get a chance to stand out. Instead of paying the $5 to keep their ad on top, it is posted so many times it is ridiculous. I only ever post my own art work, and now I have to wonder if they are even advertising their own designs on kijiji too (since they seem to take photos from iphoto and use lucid arts).

I contacted Lucid Arts and she didnt know about it. After looking at their gallery she said she recognized another friend's pic so she is gonna get in contact with them immediately...we'll see what happens!

Oh my, our own little peek into ......................scandalous behavior.

I ran a bunch of them through Tineye and found that many of the other ones are Istock photos too:
girl with butterfly
girl with body art
girl with blue zebra face
two girls
tiger boy
butterfly face

Yikes, the tiger and red monster are Tammy's (from the UK Face Painting Chat forum) and the blue spider one is Rosey's (also from UK)

Hmmm...

~Heff

Really! And to think... I took the time to paint my faces for my site. Darn, wish I'd known I could just take from others. Who wants to share their pics w/ me

Oh my gosh! Is ANYTHING on that website original or painted by the people that run that site?? That's false advirtising right there. I hope they get caught, people like that just make me so mad!

dodgy!

WOW!!!! I don't know what to say either, I spend so much time practicing, taking pictures... I don't understand how some peoples can act that way!

Won;t the parents be surprised when they hire this company and they arrive with no knowledge of how to paint a straight line?
Wonder what they charge?

They are using pictures of my tattoos - I will have to send them a cease and desist letter - I can't tell you how many people I am finding that are down right stealing my photes and my web content. UGH have these people no shame
