Whilst face painting is often just thought to be a children’s activity, many adults also take part in this exciting form of artistry and often create fantastic designs and patterns all over their body. With an extraordinary selection of colours, face painting supplies also include glitters and gels that can be safely used on even the most delicate skins; many artists make a living from being professional face or body painters.
A large number of specialist face painting supplies shops are testament to the popularity of this fun activity. Kids especially love having their faces painted as tigers, lions or one of hundreds of their favourite TV and film characters like Harry Potter, Spiderman or Disney Princess. If a bit of gore is needed, fake blood or tooth wax are great products for achieving a really special face painting effect. Face painting supplies can be purchased in many traditional craft shops all over the UK, and a growing number of online businesses specialise in supplying products for this popular party and festival activity.
Numerous face painting shops can supply their customers with detailed instructions on how to make a face look like a pumpkin or clown, and with extra accessories like temporary tattoos and special hair colours, anyone can quickly achieve an incredible disguise. Water based face paints mean that these decorations can be quickly and easily be removed, although some children may want to keep their new faces forever!
