Summer Face Painting

A new generation of Face Painters will try their skills during the summer months as they are hired to perform face painting on Boardwalks, at Amusement Parks, Church Festivals, Street Fairs, and Birthday Parties. These new Face Painters will be expected to perform by their employers with very little knowledge of Face Painting. It is important as employers and employees to realize that Face painting should not be performed with acrylic paints, poster paints, ink or water color paint. Face Painting is properly performed with specially formulated Face Painting Makeup, and should be performed with Face Painting Makeup that is made with safe ingredients.

The skin is the largest organ of the human body that absorbs what is applied to it and passes it through to the blood and other internal organs. Applying paint to the skin that is produced for poster board, signs, windows and canvases is not a healthy practice. Parents that give their consent and treat their children to face painting at various outings during the summer months should check with the face painter and find out exactly what is being painted on to their child's face. If it is acyclic paint, ink, or paint other than cosmetic Face Paint good judgement should be exercised before allowing it to be applied to the child's skin.

Even if it is cosmetic Face Painting Makeup, Parents should be aware that Face Painting Makeup from produced in China was placed on recall lists by the United states FDA. Mehron Face Painting Makeup was not affected by the 2009 FDA recall or any other recall in the eighty year history of Mehron's production of Professional Theater Makeup Production.

Mehron Face Painting Makeup has always been and continues to be developed, formulated, and manufactured in the USA using selected quality ingredients specially selected to be applied to the skin. When consenting to your child having their face painted at a day of fun, checking the Face Paint that is being used is a wise decision to insure that a day of fun doesn't turn into a week of allergic reactions or other health issues.

Paradise Makeup AQ ProPalette - 12 Colors is a water activated cake makeup developed in collaboration with Jenny Houle, a World Champion Face and Body Painter.

Not only is Mehron Makeup produced in the United States under the watchful eye of Mehron's President and Staff, it is produced with the care and safety that is required when manufacturing a cosmetic that will be applied to the Human Body's largest organ. It is not rude to ask a Face Painter what they are going to apply to the skin of your child or yourself, it is a matter of self-preservation from the poisonous possibilities associated with paint that is not meant to be used on the skin. When questioning your Face Painter don't forget that not all cosmetic face paint is created equal.
