Review:“I got these to use for my special effects makeup. The amount of black and white you get is amazing they are large tubs as well as being easy to apply, and very pigmented. The setting powder also comes in a large container and sets the makeup very well. I will be purchasing these again!” -Beth
Review:“These tattoos are awesome. You get a lot for the price. They’re very high-quality, and they last for a good amount of time. Absolutely amazing.” -Paige Welden

Review:“These colors are much more vibrant than I expected, though I strongly recommend using an eyeshadow primer with it to really make it pop. But I loved this look, it lasted all night and looked awesome under the black lights!” -Taya
Review:“The Crystal Cat Face Jewels were a hit at the Renaissance Festival. I got this set for my nephew because he wanted his face painted. The crystal cat face worked well. I did have one section that didn’t want to stay on my nephew’s face, but that was more operator error and not the stickiness of the face jewels. I liked that the sections were together, so I didn’t have to recreate the look and put each section (6 whiskers, 2 ears, and the nose section) on his face. It was super cute, and most of them lasted all day! My nephew loved his look, and we had fun without paying for face painting.” -Caffaenated
Review:“Are you looking for face paint that can survive a 6.2km run in Florida humidity? Look no farther. This stuff is great. Easy to apply. Stays on. Comes off quickly.” -Kathleen Pombier

Review:“I really like this product. I’m a scare actor and the stuff was really good to work with. Specially, because I use liquid latex a lot when I do very extreme make up.” -Marie
Review:“We got this to make a scary scene. We used the spray to make some of the splatter marks. The smaller dropper bottle made great dripping blood trails. Beyond my expectations!” -CA Mom of 4
Review:“I used this face paint for the first time last night (Halloween) and was very impressed with it. Washed my face before bed and it came off easily, just had to scrub a lot because I applied a few layers.” -Jennifer

Review:“This takes so little to get crazy fun sparkly!!!!! I use a gel face mask applicator that has a flexible paddle type “bristle” end to the “brush” to apply it most of the time. My kids love using it!! This little bottle will last us a long time and they looove adding sparkles. :)” -Charly G
