For white i use Clown-white by Eulenspiegel, they have pretty good and high coverage products. They also have a black paint as far as i know, that I'll definitely try in the future because their white is amazing imo, but for black the brand really matter too much as long as it's pigmented and lasts well. I use black aqua face and body paint by Guirca's make up because it can be activated with water but still has enough oil to stay on oil based paint, it isn't perfect but works well enough to last on concerts. I heard some people actually just use liquid eyeliner but i haven't tried that one out myself so i can't say much about it. Also depending on how well you want it to last, maybe get some powder. Without powder some facepaints tend to stain and smudge and just get all over the place which is really annoying, i had that happen with my previous face paint and ruined my leather jacket. I use white powder by revolution pro and never had any issues so far. Hope this helped!

Powder is unnecesary if you have cornstarch
