Ok, I am fairly new at face painting. I have only painted at 2 parties so far. I bought a Snazaroo walk around kit to start with. I hear some people say good things about Snaz because of it's germ resistant qualities but after painting at a family party I had some people say the paint felt really dry and it was flaking and getting into their eyes. They only had it on for about an hour and wanted to wash it off. Does this normally happen or am I not using it right? If this is a common problem then what brands do you recommend? So far I keep looking at DFX, Wolfe or Paradise paints but I do not know which ones are better for the customer.

P.S. Love this forum. I have learned so much reading the posted topics. Thanks everyone for sharing your input. I hope I can get to a point where my input will be useful. Smile

someone else on here said something about it flaking off, but it's all I use and I've never had a problem.... but then, more often they sweat it off than have it dry out that much.

Could it be on to thick..... I know when I first started I used to pile on the paint and thats when I found when it dried it became flaky and uncomfortable....
Snazaroo is all I really use at the moment too although I have just started trying out new brands and quite like DFX and TAG.

Well I noticed it was the people who had full face paintings but I wanted to make sure that the face was covered because sometimes the skin looked like it was showing through the paint. Would putting a base coat of white prevent that? I just don't want to take too long to wait for the base to dry before painting the rest. Im already slow as is. Embarassed If a base is necessary then what paint is best for the base? I feel like I have too many questions...lol!

By the way Daizy, how do you like DFX so far?

Hi Tanya,

I use almost exclusively Snaz for over a year now and never had issues with flaking. I'm with Daizy, I think it's on too thick if it's flaking and I think that will happen with any brand.

No, you don't need to have a base down. I think you should experiment with application until you get the results you're looking for. The type of sponge you use can really affect whether the paint looks too thin and how evenly it covers the skin. If you're brushing it on and it seems too thin, you're using too much water.

When you're new to face painting sometimes it seems that you'll never get used to certain techniques, but it just takes lots of practice. As time goes on, you'll be amazed at how you improve, hang in there!

you don't want to put a base down with Snazaroo... the fresh paint will reactivate what is already there and it will all blend together. Wet your paints and let the water soak in a bit to make it kind of mushy in one spot... it will cover better the first time and you can get an even, thin coat of paint with your sponge.

Thanks everyone. I will play around with it and see if I can get the right consistency.

For me the key to snaz bases is as little water as possible and work it into the sponge. It dries almost instantly and then I use paradise or dfx for the linework.
