Rainbow Face Painting Kit

I ordered two of these kits: one for a church-sponsored school festival and one for me to use at home with my grandson.

The idea book is fun and clear. It does, however, contain some ideas that can't be done unless one either modifies the ideas or purchases further product.

The kit, as-is, was adequate for a full afternoon of face-painting, at the festival, with supplies left over. We did restrict the children to simple cheek painting rather than full faces, but it would have had enough supplies for a good number of full-face treatments as well.

Using my grandson as a "guinea pig," I discovered that the paints held up well, cleaned off easily at the proper time and caused no skin irritation.

All in all, I was quite pleased with this kit.

I am a professional artist and so have been asked countless times to do face painting at various events. Of course, I always say YES, and then have to wonder about what kind of paint they'll have. After using so many different kinds, this is the ONLY brand/type of face paint I would recommend for using with children. It dries nicely and is water-soluble so it doesn't smear like many of the grease based paints. This paint is much easier to use for any amount of detail as one layer can be painted over another. It dries fast and doesn't require a powder coat to 'set' the colors. It is pretty sweat resistant. I use a sponge applicator to put on large areas, and regular cheap paintbrushes for smaller areas. From a hygienic standpoint, I feel that using brushes that you can rinse between kids/colors probably reduces the spread of sweat/crud/questionables over the use of paint sticks. This paint comes off very easily with regular soap and water, or you can use a little baby lotion and a cotton square. I bought this set along with another larger set and I take them with me when asked to paint faces, partly because I really like the paint, and partly because the greasy stuff they usually have makes my painting look crappy :) These are also fun for kids to use to paint each other's faces with minimal mess.

The painting guide includes great designs with easy to follow instructions. However, the kit does not include Silver Glitter Gel that is used with most of the examples in the book. It definitely requires mixing of colors to make pastels. The Book gives you some great ideas to get started. The paint does not smudge like the cream face paint. Cream Face Paint is easier to apply, but the quality for this one is much better. Only 4 star because it does not include the Silver Glitter Gel.

Honest reviews on Snazaroo Face Paint Palette Kit - Unisex

Bought this kit for fun. We have used it countless times. Easy to apply, washed off pretty easy. Only complaint is that the book that comes in it shows how to do some great faces, but you need colors that don't come in the kit. The kids got annoyed a lot because of that.

Maybe I'm spoiled but the first face painting kit I bought was from Klutz which included a 6-palette color from Wolfe Brothers FX. I thought those colors were really good, but now that I have ordered Snazaroo, I know I had it REALLY good. Wolfe Brothers FX was highly pigmented, easier to apply and much higher quality paints than Snazaroo. Even the paintbrush that came with the kit was much higher quality. Snazaroo applies on streaky, uneven and with barely there colors which looks and feels like regular watercolor rather than face paint. Snazaroo cannot come close to the quality of Wolfe Brothers. It's like comparing Walmart to Nordstrom in quality, which wouldn't be so bad if the respective prices reflected it too. Unfortunately, Snazaroo cost almost if not just as much as Wolfe Bros. Well now I know.
