| Alternatives to Face Painting
Wounds & Bruises
Another
alternative to face painting, these realistic, fake
wounds, cuts, grazes & bruises will have the parents
running for the first aid box & the kids thoroughly
enjoying the Blood & Gore without any of the pain! The
wounds are made using soft wax, with such things as
pieces of ‘glass’ (which is made from sugar or soft
plastic) imbedded into the open wound, complete with
congealed blood they look so real! (A policeman even
fooled a colleague once!)
A realistic
bruise can be done at the same time to add authenticity
to the wound, or used over the eye for a great Black eye
effect! Again, all easily removed with soap & water,
although the ‘runny’ blood can stain white clothing. A
good soak in Biotex will usually get it out.
Funky hair
Children love
the bright colours of these synthetic ‘hair pieces.’
They are applied to small sections of hair using covered
bands, rather like mini pony tails. Many colours to
choose from! They look great with a face painting…. for
instance; add some orange & black funky hair to a tiger
face paint to give an even fiercer result! Or pretty
lilac, pink or white combinations to a fairy or
butterfly… the colour combinations and resulting effects
are endless!
