Choosing your brand

To choose the right brand, start by identifying your needs.

If you're looking for dense, crisp, opaque brush strokes, choose a paraffin-based brand like DiamondFX or Face Paints Australia. However, you should avoid spreading paraffin-based colors all over the face, as they may cause skin tautness or even cracking.

If you'd like to spread color over a wider area of the face, create gradations or flatten, turn to a glycerin-based brand like Superstar or Mehron.

To create a white face for a clown or skeleton, for example, I recommend glycerine-based colors or other products such as Clown White (greasy) or Starblend (powder) by Mehron.

If you can't make up your mind, the gum arabic-based colors from Fusion are a good compromise!

Either way, don't hesitate to read the product descriptions on the site, as you'll find plenty of advice!
