鶹 Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
These face paint sticks or crayons do work very well, and my grandchildren and their friends are having lots of fun with them. In fact, I already purchased a second set in order to reduce the level of squabbling over whose turn it is. For me, these crayons provide better skin coverage than other face paints I have purchased in the past, but the colours when applied to skin are not as totally opaque and vivid as depicted in the pictures on the product listing page. I wonder if this is a matter of skill, technique, and practise. I watched the video, and it did seem to show that it is necessary to colour over each area multiple times in order to achieve the most opaque kind of coverage and colour, but that part of the video was shown at fast-forward speed, so I was not able to see how many times the colour was applied, or how much pressure was used. I was not impressed with the video, which really should be a clear demonstration of the best use of the product, but in this case was not at all helpful. Also, it is stated that half of the crayons provide glow-in-the dark colours, but I am not finding this to be accurate; apparently, the colours glow in the dark when ultra-violet light is used, which to me is a completely different thing. However, for me, that is a secondary concern. What I was mainly looking for was a clean, tidy form of face paint, one that provides a good kind of colour and coverage, and these crayons are doing that. They also clean off the skin exactly as stated: just wash with soap and water. The face paint sticks that I tried previously required multiple washes, and still left a slight stain. These colours come off completely with one normal washing. So, all things considered, I do like this set. I think it is a good product, not messy, and appropriate for kids and adults.
