Don’t know what brand she uses for bases but she told me she uses Wolfe black and white for lines. Wolfe rocks for lines, it goes much further than most of the others. x

Susan, Heather was using the Snazaroo Sparkle Orange and a gold for the base of the mask. Probably a Wolfe white for the linework.

Thank you. Julia

That was the best demonstration of tiger stripe painting that I’ve seen so far. Thorough explanation of how to do the entire face, cheeks, as well as the forehead stripes. Perfect explanation. I read above that people are having trouble finding good metallic colors…use the shimmer powders from Silly Farm. They are beautiful and when applied wet, appear like gilding. They’re gorgeous and opaque. I was practicing a Master Tigress mask (Kung Fu Panda) and used the shimmer powders…gorgeous!

finally after 25 years of facepainting, largely self taught, I know what I am doing (wrong & wright). keeping it simple is the solution to integrity of subject. You are a true artiste, but there’s more. The positive reinforcement we can impress apon youngsters while we commit the face to a caricacharacter is perfectly expressed in dealing with the subject. a voice from downunder, yours RED

Child psychologists would learn a lot by facepainting. Observation of children: the shakers, distracted, conversations, reveal a lot about a child’s world. The beautiful thing is we have a one on one experience and learn a lot about the individual in a very short while. Without extensive qualifications in medical matters we can diagnose skin conditions, nervous disorders and even problems at home. facepainting provides a window to the soul. Then there are the people who have great futures and wonderful minds.

I love these tutorials they really help. I’ve made an incredible improvement since I started to watch them. This one on animal marking is incredible. Living in South Africa with lots of wild life reserves I can say that they are very realistic. Thanks!
