Play the part you pick with face paints | Face Paints from GettingPersonal.co.uk
3 July 2009
Remember those childhood parties back when you were young, where you spent two hours dashing around some frantic mother's living room with your pals, drinking gallons of fluorescent pop and generally getting over excited and noisy? There were generally some party games such as pass the parcel and musical statues, possibly an entertainer such as clown or magician - and the highlight of the party would be if someone was there to do a spot of face-painting! Back in those days of course there were just a few colours and the face paints were generally thick and waxy crayons - which caused all sorts of mess to fancy party clothing and soft furnishings when young guests got a bit hot and started rubbing their faces!
The good news now however is that the new generation of
face paints
are far more advanced! Firstly they come in a wide range of colours and finishes - everything from sheer tints to sparkling thick paints and iridescent powders. Secondly the new formulations are far kinder to skin - and other domestic items! They no longer contain allergenic ingredients, or chemical additives, which means they will wash off more easily and cause fewer stains to party outfits!
The new face paints are perfect for creating themed parties for both children - and retro minded adults! Pick readymade face paints kits for children to create their own looks and get their creative imaginations flowing.... or if you are having a themed party for the grown-ups, the more artisan face paints can be combined with regular make up to create stunning looks and characters worthy of the stage! They will stay on your face for longer as well - another key benefit!
Making faces - with the Fantastic Faces Book
If you've run out of ideas for your perfect face painting looks - basically the gamut of green frogs, tiger stripes and flower power kids- then you'll love this fantastic book to bring your skills up to the next level! It's packed out with ideas and schemes to follow, to create professional looking face designs and will really help you to use your imagination to create new looks! You'll be guaranteed to become the face painter most in demand at the next party you hold - or why not gift it to a budding make up artist or family friend looking for a new idea for her parties...
Disco Dazzle Make Up Kit - for divas!
This is the perfect gift for kids who are having a disco themed party - the kit contains everything needed to create a real disco dazzle! There are glitter gels, sparkling powders, foundation and different lip colours to play with - along with brushes, a sponge and a mirror. Treating them to this fantastic gift of face paints is far better than finding them 'dressing up' with your prized designer make up bag - certainly from your perspective anyway!
If these ideas for party
face paints
have sparked off some inspiration for your party, then look online to see what other things are available to make your gathering go with a swing. If you are picking face paints for a themed party - for example, Lions and Tigers or Flower Children, then look for other items that will help build up the theme into something special. Look online for the widest range of party favours, decorations and accessories for your occasion. Things like balloons, streamers and coloured confetti create an instant party feel, and you can easily create a great buffet without incurring too much expense - think of things that can be picked up easily with fingers and eaten from napkins - finger foods, vegetable sticks, mini sandwiches, crisps, cakes - maybe a small chocolate fountain with fruit kebabs - and a punch with a kick for the adults! Think about games that will get everyone into the party mood - perhaps old favourites such as pass the parcel or musical statues which keep everyone active without hopefully going too overboard! One final tip too - have some handy wipes on hand for when your party starts to wind out, and the face paints start to come off - with children particularly you may wish to give collecting parents a few wipes to clean up their little angels before they dive onto car upholstery!
With these ideas to get your party planning started, and the fantastic range of new
face paints
and kits on offer, you should have the perfect party to enjoy, and certainly all the ingredients for a memorable and fun one. Just make sure you relax enough to enjoy it yourself - it's your party too after all!
