What’s In My Kit: Face Painting

In this post, I will list what is (currently) in my professional face painting kit. Please note that this is not an educational post, I will be listing out what is in my kit but will not be going into details of what a product is or how to use it. There are many free informational videos on YouTube on how to use face painting products and I highly suggest checking them out.

I've put many links to where to buy products below, so please feel free to use them!

I purchase the majority of my products at:

• Silly Farm

• Jest Paint

• Art Factory

Q: What kind of kit do you have?

A Craft N Go Paint Station, I purchased it in 2016 and it’s served me very well over the years. When you purchase a case from Craft N Go it comes empty, and you must customize it to your liking and add your products into it. Paint Stations currently retail at $499 USD ( + taxes/shipping), you can find more information about shipping and purchasing additional products by visiting their website at www.craftngo.com.
