What Nemi has used

Snazaroo Waterbased Face and Body Paint

Snazaroo paint is the only kind I've used so far (mainly cuz it was what I found first and could afford...) and I find it works well. Her are some Pros and Cons on this type of paint:
Pros
--You can buy a CATS pallet that contains 6 colours (a red-brown, gold yellow, white, black, grey-blue, and bright pink) that are about the size of... well.. you know on a CD, how there is a lil circle? Then the slightly bigger circle? Each is about as big around as the bigger circle (a bit larger) and maybe about a few Millimeters thick. It says each will paint 30 faces... but thats only if you don't use much white at all and stick to the patterns..but I've done a completely white Vic face, Tantomile, Electra, Video Jemima, Bomba, Skimble, Snaz Jemima, and Nemi and now I am out of the white in the pallet... They give you patterns for Electra, Munkustrap, Jemima, and Skimbleshanks, but my B-way Electra is the Lec pattern they give ya, and the Skimble makeup (and the kid in it) is really adorible (what I have on in my Skimble pic)...
--It goes on really easy
--It dries quickly
--The Colours mix/blend well
--The CATS pallett costs only $14.99 (I'd suggest getting an extra 18mL of white)
--Each 18mL costs $6.99 (each lasts 100 faces)
--It's really fun to work with
--The kid in Skimble's second makeup stage looks like my friend Eric
--It's just awesome, man...

Cons
--It's great for wearing around house.. but its waterbased and WILL rub off in time or be taken off by sweat...
--If you buy individual colours (18mL being the smallest) it can get pretty expensive...
--It doesn't have an OFFICIAL look to it.. but the Matte finish is quite nice... and its soft to the touch
--It takes a few coats of white to make it opaque
--The Grey in the CATS pallett dries sorta grey blue (Good if you're painting a Russian Blue face (like Nemi)
--It feels a bit stiff... and you can tell it's on...
--The yellow kinda stains your skin.. but a good face clenser takes the stain away

I order my supplies from Clown Antics, but you can get them from Snazaroo.

**NOTE- When you order from Clown Antics, they give yo a cute lil Eraser!! I LOVERS CLOWN ANTICS! Plus, they carry ALL types of paint, from Ben Nye Cake to Snazaroo waterbased! (I sugest buying from here)**

Over All, I think this brand of paint is a great type for beginners and poor people like me *grins*

For REALLY poor peeps (like me a while ago), Watercolour paint works okay... it really does! This is how I did my cuz Mindy in Watercolours... the paint itches after a while, though.. and it flakes...
