Face Preparation for Face Painting

Like other kinds of painting, you want to make sure you work with a clean surface, which is why it is essential to prep the skin before applying paint. Following any cleaning, you want to give the face adequate time to dry. If you apply paint on a wet or slippery face, the paint will not adhere correctly. Removing face paint is just as important as preparation, and beginners should be getting in a lot of practice. See more on how to remove face paint and makeup.
