I am really excited to announce that I now have ultra fine glitter available on Paintertainment.com and ready to ship! This is the exact glitter that I have been using exclusively for the 12+ years that I have been face painting. It took me until now to finally locate the manufacturer to add it to my selection of products! In my professional opinion, it is the BEST glitter to use on face paintings because it has super fine granules (.008″), which are considered cosmetic and safe for skin by the FDA. The super fine granules are ideal for applying to face paintings because they are light enough to stay on the design without falling off right away when the paint dries, like coarser craft glitter does. They also enhance your designs, rather than cover them up.
You can get some really nice effects by applying some of the brighter colors on their corresponding paint colors. You can see samples of face paintings that I have done with glitter on my work examples page.
I have selected a rainbow array of bright colors that are now available on my site:
Yes, I even have black glitter! It looks great on designs like Darth Vader or a black spider, and the boys love it! Glitter can really add a lot to your designs, if you use the right kind!
I have usually around 8-12 colors of glitter to choose from in my bag of supplies at any one time. I like to store my glitter in mini glass jars…the kind that you get those little jam samplers in around Christmas time. I have seen some people use film containers too. Something with a tight fitting lid works best, and a wide enough opening to dip your finger in to dab it on. I also have screw-together stacking clear jars on my site that work great as well for storing multiple colors.
