What do you need to start as a Face Painter?
I provide actual, bottom-line-up-front advice and products for you to begin,
whether you want to have a one-time casual party, or want to start as a serious beginner.
All these recommendations are from personal experience. I have purchased all these products myself and have used them during my years as a professional Face Painter.
I neglected to mention that you might want liability insurance. Bodyworks is a USA insurance company I recommend.

THE BEST ONE-STROKE KIT FOR PROS STARTING OUT is this Fusion kit.

Here is an alternative with diff colors amzn.to/3mWY4HM
(the Fusion Rainbow explosion palette mentioned at the very bottom is great too. That's the one I started with, since I bought other sponges and brushes as a beginner)
Several options for sponges:
black round amzn.to/3gpo0ta
Ruby Red black petal sponge amzn.to/36Se0p5
yellow sponges 12 pieces amzn.to/3qwM2at

or a 2-pack amzn.to/39NomZr
Shatterproof mirror with handle amzn.to/3gAgH29
Case for carrying (I LOVE LOVE LOVE this. It was so cheap. I've used it for over 3 years now. It's absolutely perfect. www.harborfrei... I glued a wide piece of round foam to the bottom portion of the lid tool-holder, and poked holes in it to hold my brushes, hidden from view when i'm not using them)
(I used this steel sheet to fit inside the kit and hold my cakes. Then I put a black hand towel folded on top of it to prevent sliding. You can also attach strong magnets to the bottom of your cakes to hold them in place. www.homedepot....)
Fusion Rainbow explosion one-stroke split-cake palette amzn.to/3qMWb2W (this is exactly the same as the one I have in the video. Hightly recommend)
I didn't mention stencils. If I could buy one, this is the one I use the most
amzn.to/39QtAUc - BAM gradient dots (it provides dimension in superhero designs, and is very pleasing as a background
My second fave is the BAM snake skin amzn.to/2JNlIbx (great for snakes and dragons, etc)
And don't forget your unicorn horn stencil amzn.to/3qCBK8D (I use this a lot because horns are tricky and can look... really bad... if you don't do them just right)
If you can afford a ton of stencils, this is a great set amzn.to/33VVMBs
