I read this book because I am interested in the rivalry between H. Rubinstein and E. Arden. I am curious about the development of cosmetics as a giant industry which is least effected by global economic crisis. I watched Eldridge's interview with a historian about make-up and really liked it. Her newly released book, Face Paint, was the only one available to me so I went for it. Remember you don’t have to be an artist - it’s about having fun and being creative. It can all be wiped off and done again if you make a mistake (nothing is permanent!) and if you’re creating a look on a child, you don’t have to worry about being too perfect or true to life.

While I appreciated Eldridge's obvious expertise as a makeup artist and global consultant, I loved that she focused the ending on fun and empowerment: "Ultimately, nothing empowers a woman more than the right to a good education, and the freedom to choose whether to wear a red lip and smoky eye...or not." Instead we see a charming discussion of colour utilisation through the ages, the trends, the socio-political ramifications, the anecdotes. Who would have thought that the use of makeup through ages seemed to coincide with women's rights, and freedom, even if only certain tiers in certain ages? Apparently courtesans and prostitutes not only wore obvious makeup through the ages, but also got accorded more rights than the genteel women. Mo' makeup, did equate to mo' fun! All craft paints contain formaldehyde. The only difference between them is the amount of this toxic substance that they contain. “Non-Toxic” simply means that the amount of formaldehyde is not toxic if a paint gets accidentally onto the skin (under the nails, on fingers). However, this is not the same as covering a large area of skin with this paint, especially the face. On designs that have a variety of light and dark colours, apply your lighter colour first if possible. Cheap face paints and craft paints have a high concentration of additives that can cause unpredictable skin reactions. Even if a craft paint has a “non-toxic” label, it does NOT mean that it can be used as makeup.A size of a regular big glass of 400 ml (13 oz) will work the best. Wide containers occupy too much space on your workspace, show your clients how much dirty water you have and even make the process of rinsing more difficult. New paints may need a little more water to activate. You may either spritz it with water or work the paint with a wet brush. Honestly, we could go on for days about how amazing the face and body art industry is. We’re a little partial. We hope you liked our detailed face painting tutorial and if you decide you really only want to get into this for fun, that is totally ok! It IS fun! You can be the star of your 6-year old’s birthday party when you break out the face paint! But in the instance that we’ve piqued your interest in a career you had no idea existed before… don’t stop here! You’re just getting started!

The paint got onto the eyelid area, which has a high concentration of glands that secrete oils. These secretions will adhere the pigments and they can be difficult to wash away with simple soap and water. So just apply a little bit of oil on the eyelids and massage them gently, you will see how the pigment will break down. Then just wipe it off with a wipe or a cotton disk. Some brands like Global and Kryolan also produce liquid face paints. If that’s the only option available on the market for you, you may try working with them. Although, I find these paints more difficult to work with and the results aren’t as good as with dry cake face paints. Facepaint’ delves into the paradoxes in every woman’s makeup bag and whether our choices, even now, are feminist statements or conforming to a standard. One filbert brush size ½-inch (10 mm) — for covering the eyelids with paint, building up shapes like kitty cat, puppy or bunny ears.

We prefer using a product called Brush Bath by Silly Farm to sanitize my brushes, as this product is specially designed for face painters and maintains its sanitizing effect when diluted with water.

Interestingly, courtesans, professional mistresses and prostitutes being afforded more freedom and power than other women (in addition to wearing more makeup) is a pattern that has repeated throughout history,” writes Lisa. Poznajemy również aktorki, które były pionierkami jeśli chodzi o makijaż, i które wyznaczyły w jakimś stopniu trend. Who identified skin types and sold skincare to suit? Did anyone actually like the man behind Revlon? Rivalry, revelations and rule breakers; they’re all in here.Lisa reveals, “If you explore the use of makeup through ancient times, it soon becomes clear that the freedom and rights accorded to women during a given period are very closely linked to the freedom with which they painted their faces” When applying colour with a brush, keep your strokes even and work in continuous lines, avoiding the temptation to sketch as this will give a messy finish. Confidence will come with practice. Offer hand and arm designs for those that don’t want their faces painted. A superhero glove, bracelet, robot hand, henna-style design or flowers can work well. Make sure that the bristles are not touching each other or any other surfaces, so they do not bend and always have a sharp shape.
