Face Painting The Mehron Way

Ancient cultures used face painting as a way of expressing emotions. Faces were painted for war, for love and to celebrate. The use of cosmetics on the face is documented as far back as the Egyptians. Even the Old Testament mentions the use of cosmetics. In North America, we can see the tradition of face painting in the cultures of the American Indians who used face painting as a ritualistic part of everyday life. The American Indians became adept at making coloring using plants, roots, clays and ground stones often mixed with animal fats to produce a consistency that could be applied to the face and body.

In the last few decades in America, Face Painting has made a revival and is now a common attraction at parties, festivals, fairs and carnivals. Although it is called "Face Painting", paint is not used.. Face Painting is really done with Makeup.
