All about makeup with paints

An original way to transform yourself is to make up with the most common artistic paints. Read all about makeup with gouache, watercolors and acrylic paints in this article.

Decorating themselves with the help of improvised means often comes to mind for creative individuals who do not have theatrical makeup and other professional cosmetics at hand. This is done by children who, without parental supervision, have an acute desire to make themselves bright makeup. People who love interesting ideas with theatrical effects, teaching staff. Bloggers seeking to surprise their subscribers with shocking looks.

The drawing applied to the face with professional paints looks impressive: smooth transitions, gradient stretch marks, highlights, which are difficult to achieve with ordinary decorative cosmetics. You can also create similar effects using tools from an art store. However, inks designed for paper behave differently on the face. Before using conventional makeup paints, let's find out about their features.

• Gouache dries very quickly and cracks, unpleasantly tightens the face... Its particles penetrate deeply into the pores of the skin and are not easily washed off, causing redness and irritation.
• Thin coats of watercolors dry quickly and lose their appeal... A thicker layer of paint will peel off, leaving ugly marks on the body.
• Acrylic makeup is also unpredictable.... Most manufacturers add poisonous and toxic substances to the composition that cause serious allergic reactions, up to anaphylactic shock. The texture of the acrylic creates an airtight film that can seriously damage the skin of the face.Therefore, it is not recommended to paint with pure acrylic paints. It is very difficult to wash off such makeup.

• Before using paints, be sure to make sure that there is no allergy to their composition. Test on the inside of your elbow or wrist, applying some dye to your skin. Itching and redness, fever is a signal that the use is contraindicated for you.
• You can't do makeup if the skin has acne and wounds.
• It is not recommended to paint children up to 3 years with such paints, the more apply it to the eyes.
• Doing face art for older kids be sure to dilute paints with real face painting.
• It is not recommended to apply gouache, watercolor and acrylic on unprepared skin. Experienced artists using simple body paints apply a second coat to areas that have already been primed with professional products.
• For lack of makeup, add glycerin and shampoo, baby cream to the paints, then stir the mixture until the consistency of sour cream.
• Before using gouache and watercolors apply a greasy cream on your face, which helps to protect the epidermis from the negative effects of coloring pigments.
• Stock up on a few sponges and brushes from natural and synthetic bristles of various shapes.
