Face Paint for eyes! Daly City, CA

Meet Miss Danielle! Another face painter here at Jurassic Quest, my boyfriends sister, and part time model ... At least for me haha 

This design is one I found on Google images. I'm not sure who came up with it but it is a beautiful design! I'd been wanting to try it for a while. I'm so glad I finally had the chance. 

Mehron: blue Lagoon 

Tulip: white, neon blue, green

Wolfe Hydrocolor: black 

This wave is a typical Japanese wave put on the eye by me. A sort of design by me! I wish this venue had better lighting so you could really see how stunning and sparkly it is on her. 

P.S. Update on my feelings about black paint. Wolfe is my new favorite!! Yes, tulip is initially easier to use, but Wolfe blends better, is more gelish and stays on longer. After playing with the Wolfe colors more I'm really starting to fall in love with them. For now, the team and I are all stocked up on Tulip but as we run out I'll be replacing them with Wolfe product :)

Tulip has my heart - San Jose, CA

The only picture I took this weekend was of this triceratops. The company recently invested in some BAMS stencils and I was having a great time trying all the different ones out. 

For anyone who is wondering, we bought the Organic BAMS set. It has a few kinds of scales, leaves, birds, cheetah, and zebra. You can check it out at Sillyfarm.com. I think the set was $21. I like the smaller sized stencils better for faces... Especially kids faces. The full sized stencils are just too hard to maneuver over all the curves of the face in my opinion. 

Tulip: Hot Pink, Black, white, hot purple, 

Paradise Mehron: Lavender (not sure of the actual name) 

It's been about 6 months since I started face painting and I'm happy to say I'm starting to develope my own style. I still have a lot to learn! And I'm anxious to learn all of the techniques I can. I'm also trying to learn how to use more professional paints such as Wolf FX, Paradise, and Tag. Honestly though, I prefer tulip. It's so easy to use! The other brands tend to be so much clumpier and general harder to use... With a brush anyway. Anything is easy with a sponge though. 

As far as professional brands go, Wolf FX is my favorite for black. I can't stand paradise for black! Lol I would recommend Tulip black for a beginner. It's so easy to get a crisp thin line without too much work or having to worry about the perfect water to paint ratio. 

Maybe I'm just unskilled! Lol either way, Tulip has my heart. 

That's all for now :)

Salem, OR

The only picture I got from Salem, OR... My first cheetah! I've always been too afraid for some reason, but I like how this turned out. Lisa-frank-esc or something haha

This weekend we're in San Jose, CA. My home town! 

More to come :)
