How to use Diamond FX face paint

Activate the paint with a small amount of clean water. Mist the surface with a spray bottle, or use a well-squeezed sponge or damp brush. Clean water gives you pure, bright colours - 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 water-activated face paint with soft synthetic hairs that won't leave bristles behind. For detail work and sharp accents, reach for 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 water-activated face paint.
• Keep your water clean. A water pot with clean water next to your work area prevents colours from mixing or turning muddy.
• Barrier layer for sensitive skin or intense colours. Apply a thin layer of Marley Skin beforehand. This barrier makes removal easier and prevents staining from intense pigments.

How to remove Diamond FX face paint

Remove the face paint with a mild, non-moisturising soap and cool to lukewarm water. Hot water opens the pores and allows pigment to sink deeper into the skin - avoid this. Gently rub in the soap and rinse thoroughly. Repeat until all the paint is gone.

For a cleaner, faster removal without scrubbing:

• Diamond FX Skin Soap - specially developed to remove Diamond FX face paint
• Remover Towel - a wet wipe that takes the paint off in one sweep, ideal at events and children's parties where you're painting many faces in a row

What to use Diamond FX Metallic Orange for

• Children's face painting with shimmer - butterflies, lions, tigers and other animals get extra sparkle with orange metallic accents
• Halloween and themed parties - witches, pumpkins, demons and fire looks with a striking metallic sheen
• Festivals and events - bold orange highlights on cheeks, temples or the body as party make-up
• Cosplay and character make-up - futuristic, sci-fi or fantasy looks where you want metallic accents layered over other colours
• Body painting and performances - glossy orange sections that stay vivid and bright under stage lighting

Frequently asked questions

Why are there sometimes small cracks in the face paint?

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 Metallic is hypoallergenic, free from fragrance, parabens and lanolin, gluten-free and contains no animal-derived ingredients. The Metallic range meets EU and FDA cosmetics guidelines. For sensitive skin, always do a patch test 24 hours in advance.

How many faces can you paint with 30g?

A 30g pot gives you 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 under regular light and only come to life under UV/blacklight; the other Neon colours are opaque and vivid.

Can you apply Diamond FX over other colours?

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