✨ A Peek Inside the Paintbox
Ever wondered what’s inside a professional face painter’s kit?
At Mini Marvellous Faces, every product we use is hand-picked for quality, safety and performance. All our paints are cosmetic-grade, gentle on skin and fully compliant for use in the UK. Because every smile we paint should be as safe as it is colourful. 💕
🖌️ Our Trusted Professional Brands
-
Fusion Body Art – Smooth, creamy and wonderfully vibrant. The Leanne’s Rainbows range is a must-have for its flawless gradients and happy, bright colour combinations. (Fusion neons aren’t FDA-approved in the US for certain uses but are widely used safely by trained artists worldwide.)
-
Face Paint Australia – A vegan-friendly, gentle brand that’s neon-safe in the UK. Perfect for little ones or sensitive skin, with colours that glow beautifully under UV light.
-
Diamond FX (DFX) – The classic choice for strong, opaque coverage and crisp detail. Great for superheroes, tigers, and bold outlines.
-
TAG Body Art – Loved for its shimmering pearl tones and creamy texture. The TAG Shimmers are perfect for magical fairies, mermaids and princess looks.
-
Cameleon Professional Bodypaint – Neon-safe and wonderfully pigmented, Cameleon’s paints offer rich coverage and easy blending, ideal for both parties and festival looks.
-
GTX Face Paint – A newer American brand making a big impression in the industry. Their standard line gives excellent coverage and blends beautifully — perfect for day-to-day designs.
GTX have also introduced a water-resistant version for pool parties and outdoor events. While it’s exciting innovation, most UK artists don’t use it regularly, as it’s more expensive and requires make-up wipes for removal — meaning artists would need to charge more per booking. For most occasions, the standard range works perfectly.
🌸 A Note on Personal Preference
Every professional face painter develops their own favourite products over time. The brands we’ve listed here are the ones we love and trust at Mini Marvellous Faces, but you’ll often find other painters have their own preferred kits. It’s all down to personal preference, style and experience — there’s no single “right” choice, just what works best for each artist and their clients. 🎨✨
🌈 Brushes, Sponges & Sparkle
Our kit also includes:
🖌️ A variety of brushes for smooth lines and fine details
🫧 Plenty of soft sponges for base coverage and quick blending
🌸 Finger daubers for glitter and stencil work
🧼 Gentle soap and clean water for perfect hygiene
And of course, our biodegradable glitter adds that signature Mini Marvellous sparkle — safe for skin and safe for the planet.
💕 Safety & Care
We always:
✅ Use only cosmetic-grade, professional products
✅ Maintain strict hygiene and cleaning routines
✅ Avoid painting over cuts or irritations
✅ Offer patch tests for sensitive skin
Our paints are water-based and easy to wash off with soap and water — gentle, safe and perfect for children’s parties.
