SnazarooFace Paint Mini Starter Kit, 14 Piece Set, 6 Colors

Very good brand, I highly recommend. The only downside is that this paint isn't suitable for darker skin kids, it's not as bright on the complexion, when compared to lighter skin kids.

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!

Used with some setting spray after. Worked like a charm

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 love Snazzaroo. Their face paint is great. The only thing that sucks is since it’s water based, if you sweat, the paint will come off.

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.

I received a couple damaged pots of paints which is why I did not give this product a 5 star rating. The product was reasonably priced and that greatly influenced my decision to buy it. It contained all the basic colours I wanted and simple instructions for beginners. The paint is easily removed from the skin and doesn't stain my daughter's face. I bought this set to be able to paint my daughter's face and allow her to paint her own designs since she kept using any marker or pen to do so. It is a great starter kit.

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!
