Now that face paint is everywhere and you have so many brands to choose from it is important to take the time to choose the best face paint for your needs.
Not all face paints perform the same way, and each brand has its own particular set of strong qualities. It is hard to choose just five of them, but we have done a lot of testings and we have heard reviews from thousands of professional face painters and parents and condensed them in this blog post so that you can make a quick and easy choice.
Keep in mind that we still believe that all of the face paints available at JestPaint are great brands and have a specific purpose, but we have based our suggestions purely on our own research, customer's reviews, and product popularity.
With over 20 years of experience in the face painting industry, we are prepared to give you some good suggestions so you can choose the best face paint for your next event, carnival, Halloween party or just for your next fun day at home with the kids.
As a general rule, you should ask yourself the following questions in order to choose the best face paint brand for you:
What am I using the face paint for?
This is an important question because there are many different kinds of face paints. Some are water proof, some are sweat resistant, some are really easy to wash off, some will glow in the dark, some will glow under a black light. Knowing what you need the paint for will help you choose the right one.
You can visit our blog post for a more in depth explanation about the different kinds of face paints available:
As in almost every aspect of life, price and quality go hand to hand. A good quality face paint brand won't be sold for just a few dollars a piece. You should be looking to pay at least $6.00 or more for a high quality and safe face paint brand. A safe face painting kits usually starts at around $20.00.
Am I a professional or a beginner face painter?
If you are a professional face painter then you likely know how to work with any kind of face paint and none will be a challenge for you, but as a beginner the best brand of face paint might be one that is easy to activate, that dries fast and doesn't require special activators or prep work.
Do I look for specific qualities: hypoallergenic, nut free, vegan, gluten free?
Not all face paint brands are vegan, or perfume or paraben free, or organic, so if that is something you care for then you can narrow you search to only those brands that meet those specifications.
You can find out more about the different brands and their qualities on our blog post:
Best combination of quality, safety and price for a face paint brand. They provide great coverage, colors are vibrant, paints are safe for kids and price is great!

How to apply and remove the face paint in this Fusion Body Art Sampler Kit?
Water is the magic tool to activate Fusion Body Art Face paints. Add water to your brush or sponge and then load the paint onto your tool, rather than spraying the paints with water. Sweep your tool across the cake until you have created a light creamy paste. You want the paint to be fully loaded, but not drippy. Sponging on will give you the smoothest base. Fusion Body Art removes easily with soap and water; simply lather your face with soap using a soft sponge or wash cloth, rub the makeup gently until it looks like all of it has been loosened from the skin and then rinse with water; repeat as needed.

Mehron created a nice little Paradise face painting kit to let you get a taste of the face painting world or to give as a gift to the budding artists in your life. You can mix lighter shades of colors by adding white to the darker colors in the palette. Each color has 7 grams of paint. We added a blue to this kit to complete the rainbow. The Premium Makeup Kit is perfect for birthday parties, school fundraisers, and for Halloween makeup.
Kit Features:
1 Paradise Basic Palette with : Black, White, Red, Yellow, Violet, Dark Green, Dark Pink and Storm Cloud. The Palette is made out of sealed black cardboard.
1 Paradise Lagoon Blue Refill that you can swap out the grey for if you like. The kit doesn't come with blue, which is an essential primary color, so we added it in.
