How to Make Face Paint Stay in Place

Using Baby Powder

Before you put your paint on, wash your face with face wash to get rid of all the oil form your face. Then pat dry your skin with a towel.

Apply a pea-sized amount of cold cream all over your face. Apply only a little because you do not want a slippery face as a result of applying too much cream.

Smear grease paint all over your face using your fingers. Even out the paint to all the areas of your face. Apply extra amount to the areas most likely to produce sweat such as nose, temple, hair line and under your chin.

After your face is covered in paint, take some baby powder. Using your fingertips, gently dab the powder to add a protective later over your paint.

Using Hairspray

Apply your face paint as desired.

Simply spray your face with hairspray. The spray will prevent your face paint from dripping.

Using Primer

If you already do not own a primer, you can get them in any drugstore. Apply primer all over your face before you paint your face.

Apply your face paint as normal.

Using Setting Spray

Apply your face paint. Make sure the look is complete before you move on, since setting spray will make it stay that way, at least temporarily.

Spray your face with setting spray after you have painted your face. Setting spray is used after makeup to keep it in place.
