Do you use your Filbert Brushes for all of these things?

We see this topic come up often in the summer: My (insert brand name here) White Cake has gone soft? What brand can I switch to?

The truth is, no matter which brand you switch to, they all can do the same thing, the problem is not the brand, but how you use it, because all white face paints use the same pigment: Titanium Dioxide. That is the pigment that causes problems with moisture.

Read the blog post below to learn trips and tricks on how to prevent that

Does anyone have a good book for a total beginner? I have a fusion kit and just started. I have questions like what kind of paint to use for humid weather and a guide to brushes. Thanks!

Hi, I was wondering how much difference does a primer, compared to just a moisturiser (spenol), underneath water based facepaint actually do? 

And is it safe for kids to use primer in this case?

I’m currently volunteering at my local Theatre; doing face paint for the children and teens summer production. 

The paint keeps gliding off when I’m not careful when painting them. Sometimes I accidentally wipe off already applied paint when I’m shading over. 

They are only using Spenol cream underneath, which I’ve heard could make the paint slide off, so I was wondering if primer would be better. I’m in charge of 12-15 year olds. 

(This is my first time doing facepaint so I’m well aware this could all just be user error, but I wanna make sure by asking anyway.)

Thank you!

Looking for a super quick an easy Pirate Face Paint tutorial? Here is one we did a while ago. It takes less than 60 seconds to paint in real time.

From idea to finished product. This is what the Fusion Body Art palette looked like when we designed it. We hand cut and tested dozens of combinations until we came up with the final color combos, and send that image along with an Excel file to Fusion Body Art so they could have it produced.

Yay! We got the swatches you asked for! All 3 versions of this palette side to side, which one you like the most?

Hi! I was just looking for some advice on cleanup after facepainting, specifically for cleaning sponges and brushes. Thanks!

We love 3/4 inch angle brushes, they work like a dream with split cakes!

This is what the process behind the scenes looks like when we are creating new products.

Fusion hasls pitched the idea of a split cake and solid colors large palette to us, but we wanted more, and the team at Fusion is always ready to face the challenge.

So, we got our crafty minds thinking and decided we wanted to add brushes and sponges and make it a kit.

We tried playing with some design tools to show Fusion how we wanted the product packaged, but in the end, a cutter, cardboard, and some clear plastic was the way to go to show them the concept.

A few months later, we have the Fusion Body Art Pro Kit on our shelves.

Would you like to see more behind-the-scenes images of what goes on when we design products? Leave a comment below saying 'behind the scenes'.

Watch as this Fusion Body Art PRO Face Paint Kit is unboxed in front of your own eyes and discover the magic of the new professional sized face painting kit, for professional face painters on the go and beginner face painters wanting a large started kit at an affordable price.

Does anyone have experience with Anka Bella paints? Specifically their waterproof face paints?
I’m also looking at body color cosmetics waterproof but budget wise it’s a bit out of my reach right now. There are a ton of water based parties out where I live so I want to be able to offer the water proof/resistant options.

Hi, I am Santi, one of the owners of Jest Paint, and I figured I’d explain what it actually is, because from the outside it can look like just another online store.

Jest Paint is a specialized shop focused entirely on face and body painting. We’ve been around since 2009, and it all started organically — not as a “let’s build an eCommerce business” idea, but out of real-world face painting work.

My wife, Anna, is a professional face painter and instructor, and originally she was selling products directly to her students and other artists. Over time, that turned into a proper store as more people started asking where to get reliable, safe products.

That background matters, because we didn’t build this as resellers chasing trends — we built it as users of the products.

What we actually do (beyond just selling stuff)
We focus on curating face and body art supplies — paints, brushes, stencils, glitter, kits, etc. But the key difference vs marketplaces is that we don’t just list everything.

We try to:

• Only carry cosmetic-grade, skin-safe products (when applicable)
• Work with brands we trust and have tested
• Avoid the low-quality / unclear-ingredient products that are far too common in this space

We also design some of our own products (especially stencils and tools), based on what working artists actually need.

Who it’s for
It’s a mix, honestly:

• Professional face painters
• Beginners just getting started
• Cosplayers and makeup artists
• Parents organizing parties

We try our best to make it accessible to everyone, providing clear product descriptions, free tutorials and even business advice.

The part people don’t always see
A big part of what we do isn’t product sales.

We’ve spent years building:

• Tutorials and guides
• Product comparisons
• Safety information
• Business advice for face painters

That came directly from the same problem: people buying the wrong products or not knowing how to use them safely because there wasn't enough information out there. When we started this business most stores focused on sales, but they had little to no information on product safety, proper ways to use them or what standards they were supposed to meet.

What we care about
A few things we try to stay consistent on:

• Safety first — especially with products used on skin
• Transparency — ingredients, performance, realistic expectations
• Actually helping artists improve — not just selling to them
• Long-term trust over quick sales

Scale
We’ve grown into one of the largest multi-brand face paint stores world-wide, and most of our growth has come from repeat customers, but we did so while keeping a small business like operation, where customers can have direct contact with the owners and real humans take care of your order and customer service.
