Safe Face Painting Fun

Summer weekends bring all kinds of local fairs, festivals, flea markets, carnivals and community events. At most of them Face Painting has become a regular feature. Some of the Face Painting is done by Makeup Artists who are Professional Face Painters. With all of the Face Painting becoming a feature at most outdoor summer events there just aren't enough full time face painters to go around. Invariably at these events you see an artistic person with paint brushes and paint trying their hand at the art of Face Painting. Most are very imaginative and execute their art well. The problem is the name of the art. Face Painting artists should not be using acrylic paint, poster paint or even water colors, yet you will see it all summer long when visiting summer events.

Face Painting is an art that is performed with Makeup. Makeup that is purposely made to be applied to the skin. Acyclic paints are great for painting crafts, poster paints for posters and water paint for pictures. None of them should ever be applied to the skin. Besides the obvious potential absorption of poisonous ingredients from the paint, paint will block the pores, can dry the skin, be hard to remove and even cause allergic reactions. Face Painting Makeup is purposely formulated to be gentle on the skin, be easy to remove and minimize the risks associated with ingredients that cause allergic reactions.
