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!
