Palette Kits

First of all let me start off by saying this is a great product that suits its intentions perfectly. It is intended for people who want to face paint at a party but not professionally. Professional face paint costs about $15 to $20 PER COLOR. If you are going to be doing face painting long-term, go that route. If you want a really high quality face paint for one or two parties or however many faces the item description says you can do, this is definitely for you. With just a tiny TINY bit of water these colors go on smooth and opaque. You can do basically any traditional face paint design with these paints. The brushes that come with these are decent but you need face painting brushes if you plan on doing flowers or anything like that. They are inexpensive and if you search on Amazon you can find some for about $5. If you don't care that much about doing specific brush Strokes, the brushes that they give you will be okay, just not great. The sponges on the other hand are excellent. I do not recommend using latex free makeup wedges as they soak in the color and don't let it out. You want sponges similar to the texture that are in this kit. They're porous and soak in tons of color but they don't hold on to it at all when you press it up against skin. This is exactly what you want as you want the color to bleed out leaving an even opaque layer against the skin. Glitter in this kit is not great though. It is liquid glitter. Dry glitter is much easier to apply to wet face paint. The liquid glitter can be difficult to apply over places where you have multiple colors applied as it re-liquefies the paint, obviously because it's liquid, and causes everything to bleed or smear if you're not careful. If you plan on applying this to bare skin or over one solid color it would work okay but I really recommend getting a dry glitter that you can apply directly to wet face paint if glitter is important for the designs you want to do. Comes off really easily with just water. I like to hand out an unscented baby wipe that is designed for sensitive skin. I just put one wipe in a ziplock bag and hand it to the parent when they're kid is just sitting down to the table. Takes the color off great. It's also easier for little kids than holding their face over a sink! You may want two wipes if you plan on doing the full face. Really great kit for amateur face painters!

I am far from a professional but this kit was great! It comes with a book of face paints with step by step visual instructions which is nice and easy to follow. I would also google face paints and tried to recreate them for the kids. The colors are vivid and easy to wash off. I will mention that black would stick around in hairlines, eyebrows or pores a bit more than other colors. Red and yellow stain, but not much. I frequently would paint their faces and wash it off for school the next morning without issue. Above all, my favorite thing is the hours of entertainment it provides especially in wintery Pennsylvania when we can be stuck inside for days. I have taken this to parties with other kids and it instantly becomes the life of the party. It’s been nearly a year and I only just ran out of white, and this kit was getting ALOT of use. Highly recommend!

Used these for a little kids’ party and it was such a hit!! The white is a bit transparent but the other colors were really good to work with. I did have to use some other brushes but the sponges were good. For a cheap set for someone who’s not trying to be a professional nor do this for money, I’d recommend. It does wash off easy and no one had any weird reactions or anything, nor breakouts

These are FANTASTIC face paints!! Very high quality allowing for either basic or extremely artistic designs. Some of the colors benefit from using a little bit of water on the brush to swirl into the paint. Once painted onto skin the paint stays yet easily cleans off with make up remover. The colors are vivid and strong, even the pink can be made bright and bold or kept light and pastel, depending on application. This kit has a professional quality to it for an excellent price. Also, there is so much paint!! This set will last a long time, perfect for face painting at a group event where a lot of paint is needed. Highly recommend this face paint set! The *only* negative is the tray holding the paints is a little flimsy, made of thin plastic. However, having a cheaper tray probably keeps the price down so actually that makes it okay. However, I wanted to mention that as part of the review.

I bought this to do my daughters face paint for her halloween costume. She wanted to be Skelita the Monster High doll. I had my work cut out for me. Especially since she had to dress up for her dance class and ice skating halloween parties too. I got to reaply it many times to say the least and honestly this kit made it sooooo much easier! This truly is the best quality face paints I've ever worked with. I've always loved face paint and this is the best stuff I have found! A tiny bit of water to the sponge or brush goes a long way and the paints last and last (not at all like the normal halloween makeup you buy at big box stores) It also isn't sticky or thick on your face at all. It is actually quite soft and doesnt smudge even after a night of tick or treating. This kit has inspired me to possibly do more face painting for others too! Even the glitter dries nicely and isnt like a big blob on your face, it doesnt smudge much either after drying. After 3 times of applying the white all over my daughters face I am just starting to see some of the bottom of the package so that should give you an idea of how long these will last you. If you paint faces for others for cash you may need something bigger if you are doing full faces, but for moms (or dads) who face paint at home it works great! Thank you Snazaroo for helping my daughter be the best halloween costume (and makeup) so many houses gave her extra and were in shock by how amazing she looked (many said she was the best that they had seen all night!)

Points for being made in the UK and it being a full kit with several colors, glitter, sponges, and brushes. However, the bigger brush tip popped off the handle right after I washed it! I'll have to super glue it once I get the chance. I'm not completely sold on the watercolor style. It's great for keeping a lighter feel on the skin, but it's really hard to keep it from being blotchy, as you can see in many of the posted photos. You have to use the big sponge over big areas, a small sponge over smaller areas, and brushes in cervices, and just keep blotting and dabbing it on to avoid a mottled and streaked look if you're needing an all over covering as I did for my son to be the Grinch for a dance performance. Gratefully, I knew to do this from a previous reviewer--thanks, Sadness!!!! It was really tricky to do that with a wiggly child who isn't used to the feel of any kind of face anything, though. When he would scrunch up his face as I was applying it, it would get pressed out of his skin folds, so he'd get bare places over and over again. Finally got it decent looking and sent him--late--to join his classmates. Comes out after rehearsal, and it's half rubbed off and all over his hands and arms. Ugh! I thought it was likely to rub off with it being water-based, but reviews talked about it staying on well, so I went for it. Looks like I need an oil-based option with a light feel--one that I can find somewhere last minute! Next time I'll order a couple options! As for cleaning, the green stained my hands yellow, despite using hand soap to get it off. However, a basic Neutrogena face cleanser took it off my son's face very well. I tried the light pink and a small round sponge to make little pink circles on my daughter's cheeks. She was a very willing participate, and as long as I used only a little water so that it didn't drip, it worked well to dab the round circle on each cheek. The color darkened a bit as it dried. However, when I tried the translucent glitter (the other glitter was silver), putting it on the light pink paint changed the color not just temporarily while it was wet but permanently. Just something to be aware of..... Do be sure you give yourself the chance to experiment with it before you need to wear it for show. I'm so glad did, but I wish I had given myself a bit more time to find an ideal option and for my boy to get more used to the feel of face paint. He seemed to be starting to like it, though, so there's hope for us yet!

super easy to use, goes on very smooth. My favorite part is it stays all day (if they don't go rubbing it!) but with a baby wipe it cleans off super super easy. I was even able to use the brushes that came with it fairly well. (yes tinier brushes would help, but not needed.) I have never face painted anything above a school paw print before but I got this kit for my son just for fun, and so far I have painted a dragon, a rainbow, a full face butterfly, and a full face tiger and the paint doesnt even look dented. It was easy enough that I could do it on a 4 and 5 yr old in very little time. I like the fact that even though my lines may not be perfect the paint is easy to work with and get it to look great. I hope to get a bigger set maybe with screw on lids...that is the only complaint I have (but for the cost I knew what I was getting) is that you have to place tiny plastic saran wrap circles over the paint (that it comes with) to help prevent drying out--it hasn't shown any signs of it drying out but I wouldn't want to leave off the plastic and it means you can't throw away the box as that's what it is stored in. I know it was designed more for the one time "party" use so I didn't dock it in my rating. I was really really surprised with the quality of this paint for the cost.

This is the second Snazaroo paint kit I have bought. My first kit had a larger amount of paint, but only in six colors, plus white and black. I remember searching for a kit with more colors, but they were all more than I wanted to spend at that time. This set has a perfect balance of variety for not a lot of money. I LOVE that this kit has pink and brown (two big holes in my last set), as well as two types of glitter paint AND two types of face glitter. I just painted approximately 20 full or half faces and still have a lot left. My previous set had more paint per color (but less colors), but it almost lasted too long and I had to work with cracked, dried out paint (just reconsitute with water, but it wasn't as nice or easy as before it dried out). The only downside is that there are only two brushes. However, I previously bought a set of 5 brushes to go with my facepaints. Even if it came with numerous brushes, I would still feel more comfortable buying a seperate, high quality brush set. As for the brand itself, I really like Snazaroo paints. They go on very smoothly and blend nicely. If I make a mistake, the paint wipes off quickly and completely. Very, very fine lines can be difficult at times, but since I am still new at facepainting, it could be my evolving techinique.
