Welcome! Ironically, I'm mostly a Paradise convert who started with Snaz. I use a little big of everything, but I find Paradise is the best overall. Kryolan AquaColor lasts longer (both durability and how quick you go through product), but Paradise is creamier and has better coverage. Snazaroo has, in my experience rather poor coverage and wears off quicker. It does last a long time though!
That's nothing against Snazaroo, I do use all three. Snazaroo red is amazing (my experience with Snaz having poor coverage is NOT at all applicable to red!), Paradise teal is amazing, and Kryolan Interfrenze Bronze is amazing - just to give three examples. The important thing is to use the products you find you work best with (as long as said product isn't acrylic!) I don't worry about the cost of Paradise though - here's why, no matter what makeup I use my cost per face is minimal. So I use the products I love, regardless of cost. I even use Ben Nye Lumiere powders sometimes on kids. THEY are expensive! Anyways welcome and I mostly lurk myself, just thought I'd say hi!
