So you want to be a face painter. Well then you are going to need some supplies. And those supplies should be appropriate to the kind or face painting you will be doing. For example, if you are doing professional stage makeup, you are going to need long lasting paints that won’t quickly wear off. You will need staying power, so avoid the kinds of face paint that are used for kids at costume parties. You will probably want a good kit that includes brushes, sponges, cream paints, and powders.

On the other hand, if you are planning to paint children’s faces at the county fair, look for paints that are water soluble and wash off easily, and don’t forget to get a palette.. The palette can be quite important because you are likely to have a line of kids at your booth and you won’t want to have to go chasing down tubes of face paint while kids wait in line.

Being a face painter can be a very rewarding activity, both personally and monetarily. But it is important to have the right gear and supplies. It’s important to be well prepared, and that means well stocked. Be sure to develop a repertoire of designs and be able to execute them flawlessly every time and quickly. Keep in mind that practice makes not only perfect, but also will increase your speed of execution, and if you are making a living at it, that can be very important.

If you are just getting started in face painting, it’s probably a good idea to seek out a few designs on websites or in arts and crafts books. Pick out the ones you can execute efficiently and that are aesthetically pleasing. Once you have this down, you will be ready to get out there and paint the town, or at least a few faces.
