Are YOU in Face Paint Heaven yet?
How to Choose your Face Painting Supplies
Whether you want to learn how to face paint and try your first designs or are an intermediate face painter looking to take your skills to the next level, you will need to get your hands on some face painting supplies.
Of course, before you part with any hard-earned cash, it pays to ask yourself a few honest questions. For example, how serious are you about face painting? There is no wrong answer, but your response should guide your choices in buying supplies. After all, if you just want to have a go, there is no need to invest in an enormous face painting kit. On the other hand, if you know you love face painting and always have willing kids, teens or adults asking you to paint designs for them, it makes sense to buy a kit that will keep you going. And if you are turning this from a hobby into a profession, a large set of face painting supplies can be cheaper when bought in a set than as individual items.
Essential Face Paint Starter Kit
It is a rare face painting design that does not ask you to use both a high density foam sponge and a proper face painting brush. If you are brand new to this wonderful hobby, you can improvise. You will get better results however from using the proper tools of the trade, particularly where the brushes are concerned.
You can currently buy the Snazaroo 3 brush set for under 4 dollars (US) on Amazon.com. The pair of round red high density foam sponges are available at the moment for under 5 dollars. Face painting sponge sets cost a little more, but you can get several sponges in a pack. The blue sponges from Snazaroo above have 6 in the pack and have a clever tapered shape that you will find helps you with different painting techniques.
