Face Painting kits - Ozland

Hi guys !

this is rashmi from sydney , australia ! am new to the forum ......

I wanted to find out about a good place to buy face paints from . Is it cost effective to buy from the online shops (Amazon , snazaroo....) and get them shipped or go with local shops ?

would love to hear back from the experts !

Till then happy painting !

Cheers

Rashmi

www.tag.com.au might be cost effective. Or check on here in the swap shop. Anygrigg.com.au is good as well.
I love TAG paints. Very vibrant and way cheaper then DFX and Wolfe.

Good luck.

Stay away from Ebay....they charge an arm and a leg for shipping.

Welcome to the forum Rashmi! I'm not from Oz, so I'll leave the answer to this to our ladies down under. Just wanted to say hi(and there's a great place on here for introductions).

funny you say that, I'm in New Zealand and tag here is just as expensive and some places it's even more pricey! doesn't make much sense being so close to Oz huh!

Hi and Welcome
I'm also in Sydney Australia - I get all of my stuff from - [url=http//www.alwayswickedart.com.au]http//www.alwayswickedart.com.au[/url]
Robyn at Always Wicked Art is an award winning painter and hosts all the top artists teaching classes in Australia as well as a world face and body art competition and convention every year.
She will help you with all your inquiries about products etc as well. She also posts overnight very cheaply!
Can't lose!
Have Fun!

Oh and Rashmi - Let us know where in Sydney you are - always good to know local painters. I'm in Dulwich Hill in the inner-west.

thanks heaps for all ur replies !
@tash - Nice to hear from you ! I'm from homebush in the Inner west!

Anygrigg.com.au is good as well.

It's amygrigg.com.au she is also a well accomplished award winning face & body artist based in Penrith, NSW. So you might even be able to drive over to her studio/shop & shop to your hearts desire. I buy mostly all my paints from her. She's also holding a Wolfe Bros face painting workshop this Sept 12 & 13th at her studio: info is on her website. Don't know how you'd go getting in though at this late date, but you could always try if your interested.

I'm an ex-Sydneyite last port of call was Hurstville. I now live in Tasmania.
By the way welcome to the group, you'll love it here.

Mandi, I've rung Amy a few times to see if I can come and pick up products and she hasn't called me back.
I have been told she only sends out orders once a week - you may have had a different experience to this.... but as far as I know pick ups are a no-no.
Robyn will allow you to pick up but considering she is on the Gold Coast it's not an option for us in Sydney. Robyn always gets back to me the same day sometimes multiple times to get my order sorted. If she is busy her son will ship out same day for you.
The only reason I'm saying this is because I have had such a better experience ordering from Robyn - can't fault her - she's my Aussie Metina!
So you might like to try ordering with her sometime - haven't done a price comparison because - well I'm lazy - and I'm pretty sure there's a minimal diff if any - but I'm going to go and look now and check it out.

ohhh I'm coming over to Oz in the Christmas holidays - might have to place an order with Robyn on your recommendation Tash!
