    Free One Stroke workshop

    Six free video workshops. The first few are very basic, perfect if you've never used a one stroke before, and they get more challenging as you go.

    One strokes are designed to use with a large #12 flat brush. For your first one, pick a proper rainbow: rainbows never go out of fashion and are super easy to do.

    Face painting FAQs

    Is face paint safe for kids' skin?

    Face Paint by BODYFX is cosmetic grade and water based, FSA and EU approved, hypoallergenic and non-toxic when used as directed. It contains an active antiseptic agent, so you don't need other antiseptics. Stop using it if a rash develops.

    How do I remove face paint?

    Use lots of water and a little soap. For more intense colours, use anything oily that's OK for skin, like an oil-based makeup remover or natural oils.

    What's the difference between wax and glycerin face paints?

    Wax-based paints are especially good for line work: very pigmented and vibrant, in regular, pearl and neon. Glycerin-based paints are easier to blend, as they're more flexible and take a bit longer to dry. You can use them together, no problem.

    Which colours do I need to start?

    White for highlights and little flowers, black for line work, red for superheroes, orange and yellow for tigers and lions, blue for water and sky, green for leaves and monsters, brown for bears, and pink and purple for princesses, butterflies and flowers. They're all in our 12 Colour Face Paint Palette.

    How do I use chunky glitter?

    Fine glitter presses into face paint while it's still a little soft. For chunkier glitter, use a little Vaseline (petroleum jelly) first.

    Can schools get a discount?

    Yes. The Free School Fundraiser Pack includes a credit application for education facilities to apply for a 20% education discount, with instructions for buying the recommended products.
