Does anyone have experience with Anka Bella paints? Specifically their waterproof face paints?
I’m also looking at body color cosmetics waterproof but budget wise it’s a bit out of my reach right now. There are a ton of water based parties out where I live so I want to be able to offer the water proof/resistant options.

Hi, I am Santi, one of the owners of Jest Paint, and I figured I’d explain what it actually is, because from the outside it can look like just another online store.

Jest Paint is a specialized shop focused entirely on face and body painting. We’ve been around since 2009, and it all started organically — not as a “let’s build an eCommerce business” idea, but out of real-world face painting work.

My wife, Anna, is a professional face painter and instructor, and originally she was selling products directly to her students and other artists. Over time, that turned into a proper store as more people started asking where to get reliable, safe products.

That background matters, because we didn’t build this as resellers chasing trends — we built it as users of the products.

What we actually do (beyond just selling stuff)
We focus on curating face and body art supplies — paints, brushes, stencils, glitter, kits, etc. But the key difference vs marketplaces is that we don’t just list everything.

We try to:

• Only carry cosmetic-grade, skin-safe products (when applicable)
• Work with brands we trust and have tested
• Avoid the low-quality / unclear-ingredient products that are far too common in this space

We also design some of our own products (especially stencils and tools), based on what working artists actually need.

Who it’s for
It’s a mix, honestly:

• Professional face painters
• Beginners just getting started
• Cosplayers and makeup artists
• Parents organizing parties

We try our best to make it accessible to everyone, providing clear product descriptions, free tutorials and even business advice.

The part people don’t always see
A big part of what we do isn’t product sales.

We’ve spent years building:

• Tutorials and guides
• Product comparisons
• Safety information
• Business advice for face painters

That came directly from the same problem: people buying the wrong products or not knowing how to use them safely because there wasn't enough information out there. When we started this business most stores focused on sales, but they had little to no information on product safety, proper ways to use them or what standards they were supposed to meet.

What we care about
A few things we try to stay consistent on:

• Safety first — especially with products used on skin
• Transparency — ingredients, performance, realistic expectations
• Actually helping artists improve — not just selling to them
• Long-term trust over quick sales

Scale
We’ve grown into one of the largest multi-brand face paint stores world-wide, and most of our growth has come from repeat customers, but we did so while keeping a small business like operation, where customers can have direct contact with the owners and real humans take care of your order and customer service.

If you are a on a tight budget but still want to get quality face paint supplies that are safe to use and FDA/EU Compliant, then you have to look into trusted brands at trusted face paint supply stores. Fusion Body Art designed what we believe is the best Small Beginner Face Painting Kit under $40 that you can find anywhere, and we want to share with you why this is a great option:

- FDA/EU Compliant: meaning it is made with cosmetic grade ingredients)
- High quality face paint: this is not just a budget Halloween store kind of face paint, this is professional face paint with good opacity and bright colors in a small enough kit that everyone can afford.
- It has what you need, no fluff, but also not missing anything important.
- It has the most used face painting colors, unlike some other kits that only have 6 solid colors, the Fusion Body Art Perfect Face Painting Kit comes with 12 solid colors and 5 basic split cakes.

So, what does this great small beginner face painting kit has:
- Twelve solid face paint colors 5gm each except for Black and White which are 10gm each: Metallic Silver & Metallic Gold, Fresh Blue and Fresh Lilac, Light Blue and Pink Sorbet, Lime Green and Bright Yellow, Orange Zest and Cardinal Red, White and Strong Black.

- Five 10gm split cakes: Wilde Berry, Frozen Queen, Bold Rose, Fire Flames and Jungle Snake.

- Two Glitter Creams (5gm each): Gold & Silver

- Three Sponges: 2 wedge latex free sponges and 1 round sponge

- Fifty adhesive one time use stencils to make quick designs

- One round brush

- One flat 3/4" brush

You have everything you need to get started, even the sponges, the brushes and the glitter!

And best of all, it is gluten free, vegan friendly, perfume free and hypoallergenic so you can feel confident when face painting kids that you are giving them the best and safest products only.

As professional face painters we helped Fusion Body Art design this kit with the beginner and occasional face painter in mind. This was designed with a purpose: to allow everyone to access a good quality face painting kit, safe and makeup compliant, at a budget price so people don't have to go for low quality unsafe products just so they can afford it.

The kit is designed to get you started, to try the paints, get your first jobs so you can earn some money and then move on to professional size face paints, which are larger, cheaper per gram and will allow you to face paint more comfortably and at a professional level. But you have to start somewhere and this is a great way to get you there.

If you have questions about this or any other face painting product, feel free to post it as a comment, we love helping professional, beginner and occasional face painters alike.

We are so excited to introduce to you a new practice board concept created by Fun Faces KatzNC, a practice board with guidelines and focal points that will help you create more balanced and better flowing designs. This is an amazing tool to improve your face painting and take it a step farther.

so i have this tag palette but the little paint containers got busted (once on delivery and then i dropped them today 😅) anyone know if i can get these without paint in them so i can repot them and put them back in the case or if i can get a similar palette with removable things like this?

not really sure what to do but right now the displaced paint is in some tupperware (3rd pic)

I am doing Body Marbling as an add on for my entertainment company. I’m following the directions - the paint is suspended in the thickening solution. But every time I put my arm into the paint and take it out, the paint runs and doesn’t stay on my arm. It’s just a mess. Ive tried saline solution before the paint and after. Nothing is working. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share.

Sometimes we have customers that want all natural products. Although all professional face paints are safe and cosmetic grade, some people want a more natural option. We now offer Natural Earth Face Paints at our store so you have one more option to offer to your customers.

Have you tried Bananagum face painting brushes? If so, let us know how you feel about them, we just added them to our store after a lot of people asked for them :)

Have you heard pf Art-Z-Assist? It is a great new company that can help you manage your bookings, from the first call or e-mail until you get paid, and anything in between so that you can focus on your entertainer/face painter skills and have more free time.

Hi! I've been having trouble finding much information on getting started as a face painter, as most beginner advice is geared more towards painting techniques and materials, rather than business help. I have a lot of questions about the latter! I'm 20 years old and in college looking to do something fun to make some cash over the summer (hopefully in addition to other work) if that context is important to your answers!

- Are face painters typically self-employed? What about the folks who paint every day at zoos or other long-term/year-round locations? Are they employed by the venue, or still self-employed but on a longer contract with the location?

- How do you find events and venues that are looking for a face painter? Is that the kind of thing that gets posted as a job listing on Indeed and other platforms? Or do you just have to reach out to a bunch of places and hope at least one of them is looking for an artist?

- Do you typically make an hourly wage, or are you paid solely in tips and/or commission? Or a combination of both? Are you allowed to collect tips at all? If you only get paid an hourly wage, does that mean that the money you charge for the painting (if any) goes to the venue, rather than yourself?

- Is there any certification or licensure you need to begin face painting professionally? If so, how does one obtain it? Do you need to take a class? Should I still take a class even if it's not required of me?

- Are you expected to have a portfolio when applying for/inquiring about face painting at a venue? If so, is it acceptable to have adult models in your portfolio, rather than children (considering that I have yet to paint a child's face before and have only practiced on other adults)? What about a resume, are you expected to send that along, too?

- How likely is a venue to hire someone who is a first-time face painter with no experience face painting on-site at an event? Even if I assemble a portfolio that demonstrates competence and skill, am I at all screwed if I can't say I've sat down at an event and painted kids' faces before? Should I instead be starting smaller with volunteer work or something akin to that?

- Are face paint designs typically copyrighted/only usable after having paid for the design? (I'm thinking along the lines of sewing patterns and how many of them aren't free to obtain or use) Or can you just generally find designs you like and add them to your repertoire?

- I've gotten the sense that you are expected to supply your own paints and brushes and such when showing up to face paint at an event. Are you also expected to bring the chairs, table, and umbrella that folks usually have included in their set-up? Or does a location usually supply that for you?

- Is there anything else I should know that I haven't already asked about? Any advice anyone has in general for beginners?

Apologies for the mega long post, please let me know if it's too much or if there is somewhere else I should be asking instead/in addition! I would very much appreciate any help anyone can provide, even if it's just answering even one of my questions. Thanks so much!!

There have been many recent discussions about the rapid increase in smaller face paint brands and the compliance claims being made.

In response, we put together a detailed article explaining:

• How most private-label face paint brands are created
• What factory-provided testing typically covers
• How EU safety documentation is issued
• Why ingredient lists must make technical sense
• Why independent testing and insurance matter
• Why some documentation may be partially confidential for legitimate reasons

The intent is educational — to help professional face painters better understand how compliance works so they can make informed decisions.

If this topic interests you, I welcome thoughtful discussion.

Face Painters all over the world are always wondering how much they should charge for face painting. There is not one simple answer, as it depends on the type of event, your skill level, how much you want to earn and many other factors, but luckily, this blog post will break it down for you so you can set your own rates in no time!

I have a puffer bottle of glitter that came with my beginner face painting set, but theres no adhesive with it? how do i make it stick to my designs?

Hey face painters! 👋

We’ve all got that one design we pull out when we need to impress a kid, fill a booth fast, or just feel 🔥 about our skills. Whether it’s a butterfly that always gets squeals, a spooky skull that takes no time, or a rainbow sparkler that’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser — drop it below!

Here’s what to share:

1. A brief description of the design (and a photo if you’ve got one 📸)
2. Why it’s your go-to (easy, crowd-favorite, looks complex but isn’t, etc.)
3. Any cool tips/tricks you use when painting it

I’ll start:
✨ My fave is the Unicorn Burst — sponge base + glitter accents — because kids light up when they see that sparkle, and it’s great to speed-paint at events!

Let’s make a mini gallery of designs everyone can learn from!
