Hi--just need to delve in to the staining discussion. I had always used Paradise paints and still love them, but found that wolfe, in their color selections, and their long-lastedness in the pot, has decreased expenses for my products. I still love paradise...and I had two separate kits for a long time, one for the preschool crowd at a weekly mall job where the moms love the easy removal of paradise; one of wolfe for all the rest. I now use primarily the wolfe kit, with some metallics by Kryolon, and Paradise double palettes. Never apply a base coat, except for the black eyed designs when done on someone younger than 5 (which is rare). Never had a complaint about staining or residue. Never had a person not return the following week due to difficulty of removal.
Meanwhile, I paint myself every day with Wolfe and use primarily black red and white. I never have any difficulty getting it off, if you use soap. I use Estee Lauder Take Away, which is a makeup remover for everyday use, and it will take off a Darth Vader Helmet with only one wipe (also comes in a pump bottle). I love it and it is cheaper than many other eye makeup removers (do not get it in your eyes, it is for facial makeup, not eye makeup, per se). I don't allow my painters to use snazaroo on the job, since I myself cannot wear it, as it makes me itch (sorry Gary, but I love everything else you do.....and many other products). That's just me, but if I can't wear it, I can't put it on other people and attests to the fact that "I wear it every day, and look at my skin." So, that is my two cents. Love all the products, try all the products, but don't make decisions based on what you have "heard." When I began, I didn't know glitter powders were supposed to be used dry, since all I knew about was aquacolors. So I added water and thought I had bad technique when the paint was horrible. If we had had forums back then it would have been easier......LOL Now offering Glitter Tattoos, Airbrushing, Glamour Parties and Prenatal Belly Painting http://www.bellafacciapainting.com Contact me today to book 973-252-9140 Let Bella Faccia make your event more magical! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Face Painting and Body Art Association."
