Face and Body Art Frequently Asked Questions
Face Painting
What kind of face paints do you use?
I use only professional face paints which are FDA compliant for cosmetic use. The brands I use are Snazaroo, Diamond FX, Paradise, Ben Nye, and Wolfe FX. I also use only cosmetic grade glitters.
Is it safe to use watercolor crayons or acrylic paint to face paint?
Craft paints and craft glitters are not made for skin, and are not safe to use! It's a good idea to always ask a face painter what they are using... and make sure it's made for skin! "Non-toxic" only means it won't kill you if you eat it... it doesn't mean you won't break out or itch if someone puts it on your skin, and it doesn’t mean it’s easy to wash off! Only stuff made for skin should go on skin!
Where can we get good face paints to use at home?
For beginners, I strongly recommend the Snazaroo brand. Their products are easy to use, hypoallergenic, FDA compliant, and wash off easily. You can find Snazaroo beginner's kits at:
~Toys That Teach, in Country Village in Bothell
~Michaels
~Target
~or online at www.Snazaroo.us
What is the best way to remove face paint?
The easiest way to get it all off is to apply a little bit of baby shampoo or glycerine -based soap directly to the painted face, rub gently with fingers until all the paint is mixed with the soap into a muddy-looking mess, then use a warm wet washcloth to remove the soap and face paint. There is no need to scrub hard!
In a pinch, wet ones or baby wipes also do a good job of removing face paint.
Some colors may leave a temporary shadow or light stain on some people's skin, especially those with very light or very dry skin. This is harmless and will fade in a few days. If you would like to prevent this, try moisturizing your face with your favorite facial lotion before having your face painted.
Glitter and Mica Temporary Tattoos
What are Glitter and Mica Tattoos?
Glitter and Mica Tattoos are a fairly new form of temporary body art that is taking the world by storm! These tattoos are custom applied by hand, they are not a sticker. The appearance of the tattoo is a little like an airbrush tattoo, but much more glittery and lasts longer! First the artist applies an adhesive stencil, then a cosmetic adhesive. Cosmetic grade glitter is then applied, in whatever blend of colors you choose, then the stencil is removed and you have a beautiful sparkly tattoo that is waterproof and will last 3-5 days! For a Mica Tattoo, instead of the glitter the artist applies cosmetic mica powder (like mineral makeup, but intensely pigmented) for a matte or slightly shimmery tattoo which looks very realistic, is waterproof, and lasts 4-7 days!
Can you put a Glitter Tattoo on my face?
We do not apply glitter or mica tattoos to the face. These are for body art only. The skin of the face is more delicate, we don’t want you to have to scrub your face with rubbing alcohol to remove the tattoo! Glitter Tats look great on lower or upper arms, necks, shoulders, backs, ankles, and more. We are a family-friendly business and do not apply glitter tattoos (or do body painting) on parts of the body covered by a regular swimsuit.
How do I make my Glitter (or Mica) Tattoo last longer?
Glitter Tattoos are waterproof. You may swim, shower, and bathe as usual. However try to avoid rubbing or scratching the tattoo when it is wet, as it is glued to the top layer of your skin, which softens when wet, so if you rub hard the tattoo may come off. Oils and alcohols break down the tattoo adhesive, so avoid putting lotion or sunscreen over the tattoo. Drinking alcohol may also speed the breakdown of the tattoo adhesive, as the alcohol is excreted through the pores of your skin.
How can I remove my Glitter Tattoo?
To remove a Glitter or Mica Tattoo, dampen the tattoo with rubbing alcohol or baby oil, allow it to sit a moment and soften, then rub gently with a cotton ball or cotton pad. This process may need to be repeated several times before the tattoo is completely gone.
