Restock Paradise

This is the busy season for working Face and Body Painting Makeup Artists, freelancing at fairs, carnivals, circuses, amusement parks, boardwalks and now if kids nights at restaurants. If your lucky enough to get an indoor gig, you are lucky, most summertime days for working Face and Body Painters means working outdoors, or at best under a three sided tent with maybe a fan. No matter, it is steady work for now. Yes the days are long, hot and sometimes annoying, but you're earning money doing something you love.

After those long hot days it's easy to just pack up your makeup and make a mad dash to the car or bar, sit and relax in air conditioning and forget about tomorrow until it comes. Unlike winter, when jobs are not an every day event, you might be blowing through certain colors of your Paradise Makeup AQ quicker than you suspect. Even though the day is long, right before you pack up after cleaning your brushes and storing them away take stock of your stock. See if their was a particular color of Paradise Makeup AQ or Paradise Detailz, or Paradise Glitter that you used a extra lot of that day. Maybe there were a lot of turtles today and your Paradise Makeup Amazon Green is low, or lions and your Light Brown Paradise Makeup AQ is low. Take a minute to see what you need, you don't want to open up one day and not have the colors you need, besides being a long day it might just turn into a whining day if you can turn them into what they want when they sit down at your Face Painting Station.

While your stocking up on your Paradise Makeup AQ colors don't forget to take a look at the newest hues in Paradise, NUANCE, the newly developed hues of Red, Yellow, Blue, Deep Sea Skin, Green Orange and Purple by Jinny, The First Lady of Face Painting. Add Nuance to your Face Painting Booth, with the hues of NUANCE, the newest colors of paradise.
