Here as a volunteer face painter for my church harvest party! Our normal painter (amazing artist who now bakes) was unavailable last year so i volunteered and not one to do things by half, got sucked in. Finally bought some split cakes this year and now i find i need sponges, a rinse station, primary colors and probably glitter!
I’m 29 and I am randomly HYPERFIXATING on it lmao. Just to do my 4 year old’s face 😂 ever since my friend’s kid got pink eye from getting her face painted (not the painter’s fault, but sad it happened)- I avoid it. So I really wanna be able to do my kid’s face so they’re not left out!
I've wanted face paint for awhile because I've always loved drawing and/or paint on my skin when I'm painting traditionally and I've figured that is probably not great for my skin, and it'd be fun to do bigger paintings on my face/skin for cosplay/just for fun, so this video is helpful, thank you!
What a great resource this video is!! I have two additional tips for a water bucket option and an unbreakable mirror. For school theater productions with several face painters, I make sure to bring well-cleaned takeout containers (we get white plastic ones with clear lids) to be used as water buckets. They work very well for wetting sponges and double as a container to take used sponges home in. As for unbreakable mirrors: IKEA does a smaller unbreakable mirror in the kid’s department, or check out a camping store/site for a camping mirror!
Thank you thank you thank you! I'm a face painter because of you and so far its going amazing! You should be sponsored by everyone that you promote in your videos! I owe it to you! I love all your videos! Did i say thanks yet? Thank you!!!!
Oh my gosh Judy!! I am so incredibly happy to hear that you pursued your dream and became a face painter! I am so humbled to hear that this channel has helped you! If you have classes that you would like to see let me know! New video coming out (hopefully) next week.
You just inspired me to become a face painter! I’m a stay at home mom and thinking of ways to get some cash. I think this would be so enjoyable! Thanks for all the info!
Radiant Art Inspirations i loved festival glitter but they dry out very quick so now I am switching to vivid gleam glitters!! My all time favorites ❤️ And mama clown fairy dust!!! 🥰
Subscribed and turned on that notification bell because I just started out face painting and this helps 100% can't wait to watch more and learn from you
We will look into it and try and make on ! As for keeping a clean station... do you set up all your supplies on a table? Or do you have a craft and go like set up?
@@FacePainting101 a table. I've only facepainted counted family gatherings I've never gone out to facepaint anywhere else because idk what are sanitation procedures. Im a very new facepainter and I have yet to see any content about my request. I just know it's only one sponge per person, rinse the brush before using it on the next kid, and not paint anyone that is sick.
Thank you!!! Just wondering how do you refresh the water bucket throughout a gig? Do you keep a bigger bucket under the table to dump murky water and then fill up with fresh water from a big bottle?
Great question! A good pearl white or metallic white is Fusion, or Superstar. Pearl white is a very soft and subtle white that is great for bases on the face and doesn't crack. With normal/ prime white when applied as a base it can look too heavy, begin cracked and look uneven (requiring more layers, getting more cracked). With pearl white this won't happen :)
As for the sanitation of face painting, what is the standard process? I assume we need to use all new and different brushes on each kid. But, are we allowed to reuse brushes that have been opened at other events after they are cleaned? How are they thoroughly cleaned and safe in this case
I have had a lot of people ask me what my favorite products are to remain sanitary while on the job. My new favorite go to product is by Force of Nature Clean. I got the sanitary spray product in December of 2022 and I AM IN LOVE! Sanitize your paints, your chair, your sponges, brushes, stencils, your entire kit and MORE with this amazing spray. It is: Toxic-free, no harmful chemicals Pet, kid and family-friendly Kills 99.9% of germs No rinsing needed Multipurpose/multi-surface cleaner, disinfectant, sanitizer Use code: RADIANTART40 to get 40% off your Extra Value Bundle: Appliance & 25 Capsules and get FREE SHIPPING (in the USA) force.crrnt.app/e_yMwM7r
I do both depending on the event. If it isn't a huge event I will use 1 sponge per person, but one product that I use to remain sanitary is Force of Nature Cleaner. Here is the review on that th-cam.com/video/ynMfJH1xtGU/w-d-xo.html
I charge depending on the design I have on the face paint board and the events I do. I start with an simple eye design for $5 and up. The highest I charge is $20 for full face and those I charge at festivals
It comes with a #2 and #8. But no #4. :( A great brand for a #4 is Loew Cornel or Mark Reed. And we have tested soooo many brands and found those 2 to be the best for #4. I hope that helps :)
Interesting about the insurance aspect! What type of insurance do you recommend, and would you recommend this to anyone even if I'm just starting out doing small birthday parties a few times a year? Perhaps a contract w/ waiver would work instead? Maybe best to have both?
Link to artist insurance is below. It is best to have insurance even if just painting a few times a year as it protects you, your supplies, and the people you paint.
I’ve been using brush bath which I add to my water before i start painting and I use a clean sponge on every kid. I make sure to sanitize each time I finish.
It is always best to practice on actual skin, but some decent alternatives are practice boards that you can find here - sillyfarm.com/products/sparkling-faces-practice-board-angelina?variant=16649196240942
That is a great question! So each brand has their own white, but studies by JestPaint.com proved that Paraffin white has the best pigment compared to all the other brands. White and Black are very hard to find the perfect ones. Wolfe or DFX Black are also the best in the market.
Are there sanitation regulations for face painting if so what are they I'm assuming a different sponge for each kid but do you have to clean your paint in-between each kid?
While it is ideal to use one sponge for kit, it is not always possible. I use Force of Nature cleaner to spray my paints, kit, chairs, sponges, and brushes consistently. Here is the review on the product : th-cam.com/video/ynMfJH1xtGU/w-d-xo.html
@@FacePainting101 so there isn't some kind of regulation? There's isn't anything anywhere saying we have to clean the paints and sponges and stuff? I have my cosmetology license and with makeup and stuff you have to use new applicators/brushes with each new client as well as sanitize everything you use. I am watching your video tho
@@FacePainting101 so do you rinse your brushes with water then spray it with the spray from the video or so you have multiple to let it soak for a few minutes? And do you just spray it on the paint and wipe it off?
I have 2 water buckets, one with brush bath by sillyfarm.com and with Force of Nature. First the brushes go into the watery brush bath solution and then I rinse it in the water bucket with Force of Nature. Since force of nature is hypochlorous acid, (which is safe to use on baby toys) There is no need to wipe or rinse the solution off, it is safe on skin, and toxic free while also been a disinfectant and sanitizer.
Help: I bought some face paint on Amazon, to do face paint at my son's bday but it's oily. It transfers on clothing and my son has had it on his face for about 4 hours. Is there anything I could do for it not to transfer on everything ? 😩 thanks for any help.
Oil paints are a pain and always leave a horrible mess. Because I have never worked with them, I am not sure what to say that could help. I am sorry about that Marisela, the best paints are ones that are water activated and brands such as Fusion, FAB, Superstar, TAG, and Diamond FX.
Hi Cindy, I will be doing a new video on products/brushes for 2023. Right now, I am really enjoying Blazin Brushes. Those can be found on Sillyfarm.com
Hello, I would like to know how many faces can be painted on average if I were to use the single paints vs the complete kit from Fusion? Thanks in advance.
You would be able to paint a lot of face with any professional face paint. The paint will last you a long time. The main color that you would need to buy more consistently would be white.
@@FacePainting101 Thanks for replying!! What do you use for a menu board? And how long should I take for a kid? I'm super psyched that you replied you. I'm learning so much from you!!
@@judyflores4780 I have been planning on making a video on that soon.! But I use a sandwich board and laminate photos. It is kind of costly, but I can always change out designs and it is great on windy days
