Lets start off with the face paint: Obviously this needs to be a special paint as its going to be applied to the skin on mainly children. There are a few companies who produce paints specifically for face painting, which have been tested for safety and comply with various European and American regulations. These paints come in a huge variety of colours and can generally be purchased either singly in various sized pots or in sets containing a number of different face paints. They can be plain coloured face paints, contain glitter to give a sparkle effect, have a pearlescent effect added to them or even some ultra-violet light reflecting paints for the all you clubbers. At first it is best to start out with maybe half a dozen of the basic colours to get used to working with them and see how you can apply and mix to achieve the effect you want.
