Snazaroo Professional Face Painting Kits 54-colours
Your First Face Painting Kit
For beginners it may become a little overwhelming to decide on the right products for your face painting kits. From choosing the appropriate brands to arranging your kit, one will always do better by imitating the experts at first.
Philadelphia Tivoli, from Face Painting Tips.com sheds some light on this subject for us: “Choosing your first face painting kit can be hard. And I’ve received lots of emails asking what I recommend so I decided to publish this post revealing exactly which products are most important and popular for beginners!”
Colours for the beginner face painting kits
The foremost colours that you would be sure to acquire are Black, White, Red, Blue and Yellow. These colours can create every other colour when mixed correctly. This fact comes in handy when you are trying to save money, especially if you are a beginner. However, you cannot rely on this method when you painting at parties, festivals, functions, etc. You simply will not have the time to mix the colours.
One can get away with at least 6 colours, though the quality of your work will be very limited. It is generally encouraged to obtain 8 and more colours for the aspect of excellence. The most often used and advised colours for the beginner to have are Black, White, Pink, Brown, Orange, Red, Light blue, Dark blue, Light Green, Dark Green, Yellow, and Violet.
The average palette contains 6 colours, and the average professional palette contains 54 colours. As a beginner, it is highly recommended to have a palette with 8 to 14 colours for you face painting kits.
Brushes and Sponges
Round Brushes and Flat Brushes are the most frequently used brushes and would probably make the best purchase. What you will then need is the following:
For the Round Brushes, a #2 Round for the finer detail, as well as a #4 Round for most of the line work, dots, curls, swirls, stripes and other detail.
For the Flat Brushes, a 1 Inch Flat Brush. These brushes work wonderfully shaped to pick up multiple colours from a splitcake or rainbow cake with one stroke.
Try to have two of each of these in your face painting kits, as you may work between them without wasting any time on cleaning the brushes in between the clients. If you are in the face painting business, you must have excellent work as fast as possible. Therefore, more brushes means less time.
At least 3 sponges are required for your kit. To practice, one may always cut them in half and have more to work with. Sponges are needed to put fair amount of paint over a big area quickly. It may also be used with split cakes or rainbow cakes.
Split-Cakes
Split-Cakes are cake paints consisting of multiple colours, making it easy to paint with several colours at once. The colours blend easily for professional usage.
Use two split-cakes to try them out.
Glitters
Glitters can either make a design look magnificent or shoddy, so be careful as
to how and how much you use. Depending
on what kind of designs you would want to make, two bottles of Iridescent
Glitter or Glitter Powder should be sufficient. Try to purchase Gel Glitter as
well, as it helps to have more control over the glitter, if you would like to
create thin lines of glitter.
Face Painting Stencils and Stamps
Stencils and stamps are really very easy to use, as well inexpensive. This suits the beginner very well, as they do
not require a fantastic amount of skill to use properly. This form of face painting may well help the
beginner to get out there into the face painting world, whilst practicing their
hand skills at home. The stamps and
stencils are also great time savers when the clients are too many for the time
given.
Maintaining Your Face Painting Kits
Snazaroo gives us the following basic tips:
When storing or using your face painting kits, keep it in a cool, clean, and dry place out of sunlight, with the lids upon every container. The materials, as well as the face paint containers must always be cleaned at the end of each session. After you finish a session, do wipe any excess moisture from the surface of the face paints, and store the paints with its lids on.The brushes should be rinsed well in hot water and left to dry.
