Tips & Tricks for face painting
Face painting is a creative and fun way to create magical moments – from children’s birthday parties and Carnival to Halloween, themed parties, and events. With the right techniques and tools, it’s easy to achieve beautiful, even, and professional results – whether you’re a beginner or more experienced.
Tips for applying face paint
Our face paint products are activated with water and are easy to work with when the consistency is right.
Step-by-step guide:
- Lightly moisten your brush or sponge with water – using a spray bottle or a brush and water container. The paint should not be too dry or too wet.
- Work the paint until it becomes creamy and smooth, preferably using circular motions.
- Use a sponge for larger areas and a brush for details and lines.
- Apply several thin layers rather than one thick layer for a smoother and longer-lasting result.
How to remove your face paint
Face paint can be removed easily and gently.
We recommend:
- Use lukewarm water and a mild soap (apply the soap to the face paint first, then add water) to dissolve the paint effectively.
- Avoid using wet wipes, baby wipes, or makeup removers with oil or wax.
- Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Allow the skin to rest and follow up with a gentle moisturiser.
Tips for Rainbow Cakes (rainbow effect)
Rainbow cakes are a beautiful and versatile product for creating quick, colourful designs using multiple colours at once.
Ideal designs for rainbow cakes:
🦋 Butterflies and fairy wings
🦄 Unicorns and magical creatures
🌸 Flowers, vines, and wreaths
👑 Princess crowns and fantasy designs
🐯 Animal faces with soft colour blends
Why choose rainbow cakes?
De giver et mere malerisk og drømmende udtryk, hvor farverne flyder naturligt ind i hinanden. Perfekt til detaljer og feminine looks.
How to get the best results:
• Brug en petal sponge, eller svamp formet som en halvcirkel
• Fugt svampen let, spray 2-4 gange – den skal være fugtig, ikke våd
• Spray et par gange på din Rainbow cake for at aktivere malingen
• Træk svampen henover malingen, så alle farver aktiveres samtidig
• Påfør med et let tryk i én glidende og lige bevægelse, samt duppe farven på, et dup af gangen. Prøv dig frem 🙂
Tips for Splitcakes (the magical rainbow effect)
The split cake format makes it easy to achieve beautiful colour transitions in a single stroke, making it ideal for quick face painting at events, children’s birthday parties, festivals, and professional events.
Splitcakes are especially great for:
🍃 Blade og 🍃 Leaves and vines (we recommend Amazon from Fusion)
🌸 Flower petals and jungle flowers
🐉 Dragons and snakes (scales and spines)
🦋 Wings and organic shapes
🌿 Grass, ferns, and natural details
🎭 Masks and bold designs
Why choose splitcakes?
They are perfect for children’s birthday parties or events – one stroke gives you multiple colours at once
How to get the best results:
• Brug en flad pensel (ca. ¾ -1 inch)
• Fugt penslen let – ikke for våd
• Læg penslen hen over flere farver i caken
• Mal med et roligt, glidende strøg for rene overgange
• Søg one-stroke effekt på youtube for at se flere videoer
• Ansigtsmalingen tørrer hurtigt på huden og smitter ikke af, når den er tør. Vi anbefaler ikke at du sover med malingen på.
