What kinds of paints are used for face painting?

Paints

Always use water-based, non-toxic, real theatre make-up for face painting. You will be working with all kinds of skin, including some that's very allergic. Water base comes off with soap and water, it usually dries very quickly, and it looks good. Never ever use magic markers, or pastels, or a product not designed for skin.
