Question

Can step 4 kill me? He was spraying it directly into his mouth.

Community Answer

No, step won't can't kill you. When you are spraying your face with the setting spray, you can close your mouth and hold your breath if you don't want to inhale the spray.

Question

Are any of these steps safe for cats?

HumanBeing

Top Answerer

No. Face paint is never appropriate for cats. Putting face paint on pets is unnecessary. Your cat will ingest the paint removing it or have to endure a bath if you choose to wash it off. Take a photo of your pet and use computer editing software to add face paint instead. Or, paint or draw your pet on paper and add face paint if you want to get creative without bothering or being cruel, to your pet.

Question

I am a bigger guy. I will be painting my face for a football game in Tennessee next week. I sweat a lot in the heat of the day. What steps are best for me?

Sophie Morrison

Community Answer

Maybe try temporary tattoos instead of face paint. They won't come off as you sweat.

Question

He has face-paint on but also wants to go to a paddling pool in the area. How do we stop his face-paint from coming off?

Zachary Alis

Community Answer

Use waterproof face paint or wait until after he uses his costume. Go for the waterproof facepaint if he's on the younger end.

Question

Where do I store it afterwards?

Candykatie1

Community Answer

A great place to store face paint is in the original package. If you do not have the package, you can buy small containers or small squeeze tubes. These will both stop the paint from drying out.
