I purchased a practice head from SillyFarm some years ago and a practice skin pad last year -- both fake skin products feels similiar to the brush and face paint. I spray every practice skin surface with AQUANET HAIR SPRAY several times as a shield, regardless, before I apply paint or mineral makeup. > > > > I paint the heads and pads with paradise & snazaroo. Just for the hell of it, I painted a skin pad from Sillyfarm and a skin pad from Wimex with wolfe bros face paint -- wolfe bros left a stain nothing on BOTH skin pads on this planet will remove! Ajax, comet, pink soap, dissolve-it... > > > > Jenny Henry visited me a couple of years back and brought SEVERAL cosmotology heads with her -- all cosmotology school heads probably purchased from Wimex Beauty. Cosmo students practice dyeing hair, cutting hair and applying makeup products to the faces. Cosmatolgy schools most likely purchased them in BULK from Wimex Beauty. I purchased a Afro-American Head from Sally's 2 summers ago (on the base it had a sticker for Wimex Beauty) > > > > We all know ProKnows makes the best products for the Face & Body Painting Industry. ProKnows prices are higher because their product is made to last longer -- Wimex sells products for make-up artists and cosmatology students -- maybe the emulation skin for cosmetology students won't last as long as a ProKnows Head or Skin -- Cosmo students just need fake heads & skin to be cheap and easy to use. > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Face Painting and Body Art Association."
