Face Painting Review

Face painting review

I’ve just finished reading Easy Face Painting which is available from http://www.easyfacepainting.com and I’ve decided to write some of my thoughts of it on my new face painting blog.

After reading Easy Face Painting I think it’s safe to say that this is the best way for someone new to face painting to get started. If you want to be able to paint faces for children, and even progress to a more professional standard, then this is exactly what you need to get started.

Here’s a sneak peak of what you get with the Easy Face Painting package:

Step-By-Step Photo Library of over 40 Super Simple Designs. (That still look great).

You'll learn the very basic supplies you'll need to get started so you don't spend money on unnecessary tools.

Discover when you should never paint a child's face and what to do instead.

An ingeniously simple secret to make sure two colors painted close together never smudge.

How to make face paint right in your own kitchen (This recipe will save you from having to buy expensive body paints).

The very best ways to keep an antsy child from fidgeting in the chair as you are painting.

Learn the "why's" for each essential face painting tool. You'll also discover which tools are absolutely necessary for your success as a face painter.

How to organize your face painting workspace or booth so your customers will be lined up out the door.

You'll learn the simplest techniques that will get you started right away.

How to create your own designs through the use of stencils

The simplest way to prevent cracking and peeling of your finished masterpiece.

Amazing professional-looking designs that can be completed by even a novice in three minutes or less!

How to quickly and easily promote your new income-producing hobby to the folks that will hire you for cash

Step-by-Step Photo Instructions Of 10 Holiday Designs including Halloween, Thanksgiving And Christmas!


As you can see from the list of contents, this book covers a lot of crucial information. If you’re a beginner, or wanting to improve your skills, this is the perfect way of learning for you.

The only real problem I have with this package is that it is a digital download and not a real life book. This means you have to read it on the computer, or print it out. At first I wasn’t too keen on reading a book on my computer…but the writing style is very engaging and easy on the eye. Also, I didn’t need to read the whole thing in one go as it can also be a useful reference for when you need any advice.

Easy Face Painting comes with seven bonus e-books as well. Some of these bonus books are better than others. A few are quite good, and include extra designs, but I found 2 or 3 to not be very useful.

Easy Face Painting comes with a 100% money back guarantee. Which means if you decide it’s not for you then you can get all your money back without any hassles or problems. I think this is a nice gesture, and shows they believe in their product.

In conclusion, I think Easy Face Painting is a great place to start if you want to learn how to paint faces. With this package, you’ll learn everything you’ll need to know to take you from raw beginner to professional level. When you master everything in this course, you may even be able to offer your services professionally! This product really is that good.

P.S I haven’t been paid to write this review, these are my honest opinions of the product. Thank you.

Face Painting

Kids of all ages love to have their faces painted (especially the younger ones!), so it’s the perfect thing to learn how to do if you have young kids… or you’re planning to have a birthday party for your children.

With this in mind, I’ve prepared a few tips for people just starting out in face painting. Here they are:

1) If you’re painting a design that needs a large area to be covered with paint, use a sponge instead of a brush. Why? Because applying the paint with a sponge means it will dry quicker. It’s a good idea to have a few sponges set aside if you need to use different colors, because this means you won’t have to try and clean the sponge for each color…which would take time.

2) Always let the first color dry before you start painting on a second! If you forget to wait for it to dry, they colors will most likely mix and you’re going to have to start from scratch again.

3) Make sure you know what you want the finished face to look like. Don’t mak it up as you go along. You need to be able to paint faces rather quickly, as if you have children, you already know that kids aren’t always very patient…and they may get bored or restless if you’re thinking on what to paint next.

4) If you’re not good at painting freehand yet, don’t be afraid to use a stencil. You can get stencils of stars, hearts, flowers, and all sorts of things. These are perfect for stencilling onto a cheek. You’ll need stencils of different sizes to accommodate different face sizes.

5) If you want something faster than stencilling, why not try temporary tattoos? Make sure the person’s skin doesn’t react badly to it first, by asking them (or their parents)…or testing it on a small area first.

6) If you have a line of kids ready to have their faces painted, ask them to be thinking about what they would like a few minutes before its actually their turn. You don’t want to be delayed while each kid thinks of what he or she would like painted on their face.

7) Remember to have a mirror with you at all times so you can show the person what you have painted, and to make sure they’re happy with your work.

8) Professional face paint and stage makeup can be quite expensive, especially if you’re planning to paint a lot of faces. You can make your own simple face paint with cheaper ingredients. A quick search on Google will find you plenty of ideas that you can use to make your own face paint with. Bear in mind this won’t be as good as the professional face paint, so if you can afford it… I would advice you to get the professional stuff.

They you go, that’s my 8 tips a for professional face painting! I hope you found them useful.
