How to use Diamond FX face paint

Activate the face paint with a little clean water. Spritz a fine mist onto the surface using a spray bottle, or use a well-squeezed sponge or damp brush. Clean water keeps colours bright and true - use a water pot and refresh the water between colours.

Tips for a professional result

• Use the right brushes. The FBFX Face Paint Brushes are made specifically for face paint with smooth synthetic fibres that leave no fluff behind. For detail work and fine lines, grab the FBFX Round Face Paint Brushes.
• Use the right sponge. For large areas, work with a Yellow Face Paint Sponge. Latex foam sponges are not suitable for face paint.
• Keep your water clean. A water pot with fresh water next to your workspace stops colours from mixing or going dull.
• Barrier layer for sensitive skin or intense colours. Apply a thin layer of Marley Skin beforehand. This barrier makes removal easier and prevents staining (pigment residue) with intense shades like blue, turquoise or dark green.

How to remove Diamond FX face paint

Remove the face paint with mild, non-moisturising soap and cool to lukewarm water. Hot water opens the pores and lets pigment sink deeper into the skin - avoid it. Work the soap in gently and rinse well. Repeat until all the face paint is gone.

For a cleaner, quicker removal without scrubbing:

• Diamond FX Skin Soap - developed specifically for removing Diamond FX face paint
• Remover Towel - a moist wipe that takes the face paint off in one wipe, ideal at events and children's parties where you're painting lots of faces in a row

What to use Diamond FX Essential Blue for

• Children's parties - butterflies, flowers, fish and water lilies at birthdays and events
• Halloween and themed parties - underwater creatures, aliens and gothic looks with blue accents
• Cosplay and character make-up - blue skin tones, eye contours and line work over other colours
• Body painting competitions and performances - high pigment that stays vivid and crisp on the skin
• Theatre and SFX - blue accents, veins, cold-effect shadows and fantasy character make-up

Frequently asked questions

Why does the face paint sometimes have small cracks?

Large temperature changes during storage or transport can cause the wax to expand and contract, leading to surface cracks. They usually disappear once you start using the paint. There is no effect on quality or shelf life.

Is Diamond FX safe for children?

Yes, Diamond FX Essential is hypoallergenic, fragrance-, paraben- and lanolin-free, gluten-free and contains no animal-derived ingredients. The Essential range meets EU and FDA cosmetics guidelines. Always do a patch test 24 hours in advance on sensitive skin.

How many faces can you paint with 30g?

A 30g pot covers approximately 10 to 15 full faces, depending on layer thickness and technique.

What is the difference between Essential, Metallic and Neon?

Essential is a matte base face paint. Metallic has a glossy shimmer finish. Neon colours glow under UV/blacklight - Neon Blue, Violet and White are semi-transparent in regular light and only come alive under UV/blacklight; the other Neon colours are opaque and vivid.

Can you apply Diamond FX over other colours?

Yes, and that is one of its strengths. The wax base and high pigmentation mean the top colour covers without the underlying colour showing through. Product photos are taken under professional daylight lamps without colour adjustment. Colours may vary slightly depending on your screen settings.
