Mini Starter Kit

First off, I am not a professional face painter, by any means! However, when it comes to Halloween, we go all out for our costumes and makeup. For several years, I used the giant eye pencils for the majority of our Halloween makeup, as the store-bought grease paint was just not going to cut it! The eye pencils allowed for full coverage, dried quickly, and allowed for layering with other shadows and liners. However, there were also impractical, with all of the sharpening, and they could easily get expensive. So, I began looking for an alternative, without having to invest in expensive professional makeup. A few years ago, I took a chance on one black and one white Snazaroo container, after reading lots of positive reviews. I was surprised to find that it was even better than I'd hoped! It is so easy to use Snazaroo face paints. You just need water, a sponge, and a paintbrush. Depending on the amount of water you use, it can go on really thin or pretty thick. I tend to go thin and repeat several layers, until I reach the desired color and coverage. This paint dries within seconds, so layering and blending is not an issue. It can be challenging to paint light colors over dark, which is to be expected. I try to do the light sections before the dark. With a good paintbrush, it is easy to paint intricate details- which was a really important consideration for us. It is also important to note that this paint is water-based. This means that it is extremely breathable and washes off easily (practically rinses off). I usually have this on my face for several hours at a time, and it is really durable. Obviously, it wears off of your lips when you eat or drink, so minor touch-ups might be necessary. This paint is extremely high quality and the colors are vibrant. The amount of paint you get per cake provides a really great value- especially considering I used to spend the same amount per jumbo eye pencil! We get countless compliments every year, and many ask where we get our makeup done. You cannot go wrong with Snazaroo! Lastly, and most importantly, is the safety of these paints. We all have pretty sensitive skin, and try to stay away from most fragrances, artificial colors, and other irritating ingredients. However, no one in the family has experienced any negative reactions to this paint. We won't use anything other than Snazaroo! This kit was a great way for us to start our collection- and we have continued to add to it each year. We know that it will serve us well for years to come!

This face paint set is great for learners my 8-year-old and 4-year-old love painting each other's faces. This product is easy to apply and clean off. Great value

Perfect kit for my teen daughter who is very interested in special effects make up and face painting. The first kit that came in the mail had a broken lid which was rectified immediately and I received a new one the next day which was great because this was a last minute Christmas gift. Kit has all the basic colors, brushes, and sponges needed to get started, I definitely recommend a kit like this for anyone who does travel face painting or just to keep around for fun at birthday parties etc. Great kit Great purchase and no complaints We love it

I somehow managed to involve myself in two face painting events a week apart with no experience. At the even last week we used some paints purchased from a local craft store by the event organizers - they were terrible. The paints stained, clumped off, melted into blobs etc. I was nervous for the next event that I would be in charge of so I desperately went searching for another option - and found Snazaroo! The wonderful reviews convinced me to give it a try. The set only arrived today but I had so much fun and was so relieved with how delightful my quick test went that I had to come online and praise this wonderful product right away! One big problem with the other stuff was how it dried out and got clumpy - I was amazed to discover that this paint is dry and becomes liquid when dabbed at with a damp brush. It's so easy to use and it came off easy - which is good since I covered my whole face. Love it!

This paint set was a great deal. It came fast and had a lot of the stuff we needed. The paints were fantastic colors. Very vivid. Comes with sponges, you add a drop of water and you can make the paint as thick or thin as you'd like. These can be rather costly individually. This set allowed us to get a lot of product for a great price. We order additional stencils and had a great time face painting for the Fourth of July. The paints lasted and wiped off easily with a washcloth.

A friend of mine paints faces as a side income at fairs, school activities etc. She is amazing! I asked her what kind of face paint she used and she said, "I only use Snazaroo face paint" I asked her why and she said it was gentler on the skin, lasted long on the face, washed off easy, and the product goes a long way. So when I needed some face paint this is what I got. I LOVE IT! For all the same reasons she stated. It is easy to work with and I have been very happy with it. I have even taken my snazaroo paints to my daughters school and face painted the kids faces for a classroom party. I would recommend watching some youtube videos to learn some quick and easy tips on how to apply face paint for great results.

We did a lot of reading about face-painting supplies and such before we bought this, and the one thing we kept reading about Snazaroo is that it wasn't well-suited to detail work. But others seemed to love it. Since my wife is a pretty experienced artist, we wondered if maybe the people who'd been reviewing it weren't using it properly. We bought the set, and my wife is very, very happy. She says that you have to use quite a bit of water to get the paint to flow well, but that it's perfectly usable. The nice thing about Snazaroo is that they apparently put the work into testing and such to make sure their paints are safe for use. At the event she was at, there was some other cheap craft shop face paint, and the warning labels on it were scary. Certain colors you weren't supposed to use anywhere near the eyes. Other colors you weren't supposed to use anywhere near the mouth. What's the point of face painting if you can't actually paint somebody's whole face? In addition to the Snazaroo kit, we picked up an extra set of Snazaroo brushes, a few car-washing sponges from the dollar store (cut them with scissors - they work great!), and a cheap spray bottle. Everything fit nicely into the Snazaroo tote. Couldn't be happier with our Snazaroo!

I have seen so many incredible work come from people using Snazaroo so I was excited to get my first products and start working with them. I was very disappointed to see how they arrived. The container they came in was opened and cracked on one side and several of the paints were starting to come out of their pots and others weren't properly sealed. When I did try the paints out, they were a little difficult to work with but I have heard theres a bit of a learning curve with these so I was expecting it to not go smoothly the first time. I am still going to be working with these and try to find the right consistency but I am pretty upset with the first impression.

Me encantan estas pinturas, vienen los colores básicos, suficiente para hacer muchos pintacaras diferentes. Esta pintura es muy buena porque es indicada para niños con la piel sensible, por lo que no les hace daño y pueden maquillarse como el resto. Se les quita muy fácilmente con agua y jabón, aunque cuando yo les estoy maquillando si necesito borrar algo con una toallita húmeda me sirve y se quita muy bien. Este producto es muy bueno y dura mucho tiempo, volvería a comprarlo. Por cierto, viene bien empaquetado y la caja está muy chula, un buen sitio donde tenerlo todo guardado. Y el "manual" de pintacaras está muy bien también, con nuevas ideas. Y los pinceles son pequeños, pero útiles en caras pequeñitas.

Great value loads of colours, keep my kids entertained for ages. One has sensitive skin but this product has never caused any problems. Colours are vibrant and easy to apply and can be washed off. Yellow and orange tones can stay on skin a bit longer but the set is great value and so handy for Halloween or parties.

Li utilizzo da 2 anni per il mio lavoro di animatore per feste di compleanno, principalmente per disegnare sulle mani dei bambini. Non li uso in maniera professionale, ma la resa è comunque molto buona, con colori vivaci e facili da stendere. Quello che mi ha davvero colpito è la durata: con una media di 6 feste a settimana, dopo 2 anni di utilizzo intenso i colori non sono ancora terminati del tutto. Considerando la frequenza d’uso, è un risultato notevole in termini di rapporto qualità-prezzo. Anche i pennelli inclusi hanno retto benissimo il tempo e l’usura, mantenendosi ancora in buone condizioni nonostante l’uso frequente. Un set che consiglio sia per chi lo usa in modo professionale che, come me, per un utilizzo più occasionale ma ripetuto nel tempo.

Es ideal para principiantes, la pintura es de buena calidad y sumamente fácil de remover. Solo necesitas una toalla húmeda o un poco de agua. Es de hecho su facilidad para ser removida uno de sus puntos en contra. Si la persona a la que le pintas el rostro suda un poco, lo más mínimo, adiós pintura. Me agrada que haya sido aprobada para uso en niños, no he recibido comentario alguno de que irrite o moleste, de las personas a las que les he pintado el rostro. En resumen, buen kit para principiantes, un poco difícil de usar para dar detalles y se cae con mucha facilidad.

The Snazaroo face paints are perfect, I've used them before as I volunteer doing craft and so on and often do face painting at events/parties so I'm familiar with the brand and the art and finally decided to get my own kit together. The item arrived quickly and without any fuss it was well worth the price especially for the handy container. The paints go on easily and wash off easy too though stays when you want it to, I have sensitive skin but these paints do not dry or irritate my skin at all no matter how long I have it on. The only point I'd make it that if you wasnt an even white base I would reccomend the Snazaroo Clown Makeup not the regular paints, even coverage is doable with these paints but it required patience. The container is perfect as well, its like a little toolbox and the clasps and handle are sturdy enough to comfortably hold all my items. The basic colours are great and I had already purchased 12 other colours/paints and they all fit neatly into the box including sponges, booklet, brushes and glitter. I personally prefer glitter dust and a glitter adhesive to the goo that comes with this back, though it does work perfectly well I'm just a bit of a perfectionist. Only two sponges come with the kit, I've cut one up into thirds and the other is intact so I can use it for large covers, obviously more are necessary to get the most out of face painting especially if you're like me and are working with a minimum of 18 different colours so I added makeup sponges/blenders to my collection which work just as well as the snazaroo sponges though the sponges in the kit have one very nice feature that they never seem to absorb too much water unlike others. The brushes are of great quality and absorb the paint well for use but also clean without diffculty, I do wish they had a better selection of sizes and the other snazaroo brushes cost quite a bit but I've simply added my own brushes to the collection, my rule is don't do to someone's face what you wouldn't do to youre own, if you have doubs about a brush to use then dont use it. If you'd like to be extra safe the Snazaro ones do work well (i use them when volunteering) but generally make up brushes will do the trick just as well too. The booklet...well...i'm not throwing it out. The booklet has many designs which anyone can do really and I think thats why it doesn't quite click with me. Its full of designs that don't require artistic talent and therefore are not that creative but show several ideas. For example, the booklet contains a design for a tiger and it has the basic staples, white at the temples, cheeks and chin, yellow and orange, the shape of the cat nose and lips and some stripes but I'f you look at a real tiger or even face paint examples on the internet you'll see just how basic and underdeveloped the design is. I'm keeping the booklet more for inspiration, I'll look to their version of a pirate and think 'now what can I do to build onto that design' and I'll work into it with better facial hair and markings etc. Anyway, perfect little product, I love what I can do with it, the paints last for a long time and they give great results each time, I'd reccommend to anyone who enjoys face painting or want to give it a go, because really no amount of equipment or booklets is going to make you a good face painter if you don't practice. My only problem would be that for those thinking this is all you need to become a prfessional face painter it is miles off. It tells you nothing on 'how to become a face painter' the booklet is like a picture book not a guide, for example I know many peoplewho have been face painting and don't know about insurance or how to register with FACE etc so if you are looking to become a face painter in your career look on the internet on just how to do that.
