Diamond FX Neon Face Paint

What is Diamond FX Neon?

Diamond FX Neon is professional wax-based face paint with bright colours that glow under blacklight. In normal light the colours already stand out, but under UV light they really come to life. Thanks to the wax base the paint covers strongly and you work easily in layers. Want to know more about water-based face paint? Read our water-based face paint guide.

Why choose Diamond FX Neon?

Diamond FX is known for its strong coverage and bright colours. The neon line is especially suitable for line work, but you use it just as well as an eye-catching base for your design. Under a UV lamp or blacklight the colours glow brightly, which makes them perfect for parties, festivals and stage looks.

How do you use Diamond FX Neon?

You only need a little water to activate the paint. Spray a little water onto the paint, dampen a brush or use a well-wrung-out sponge. Preferably use clean water so the colours stay pure and bright. Build up in thin layers; water-based face paint sets by itself, so you don't need setting powder.

How do you remove Diamond FX face paint?

Use a mild soap with cold to lukewarm water. Warm water opens your pores, which lets the skin absorb the paint more easily, and that's exactly what you want to avoid. Gently rub the soap over the painted skin and repeat until the paint is gone. For stubborn colours you can use Diamond FX skin soap.

Which Diamond FX colours can you choose?

Alongside the neon colours, Diamond FX has an Essential line with matte base colours and a Metallic line with glossy colours. For rainbow and one-stroke effects there are the Splitcakes. This way you build a complete palette from single colours and split cakes. Browse the whole range at Diamond FX.

• Halloween and fantasy designs

Tips from SchminkenGrime.nl

Use clean water so the colours stay pure, and find the right water-to-paint ratio the first time you use it. Too much water makes the colour watery, too little makes it grainy. Wipe the pots clean after use with a lightly damp face paint sponge and let them dry without the lid. Wash your brushes and sponges with a mild soap or Diamond FX brush soap, and store everything in a dark place at room temperature.

Frequently asked questions about Diamond FX Neon

Do the neon colours really glow under blacklight?
Yes. In normal light the colours are already bright, but under a UV lamp or blacklight they really glow. That makes them ideal for glow parties and stage looks.

How much water do I use to activate the paint?
Dampen your sponge or brush lightly, not soaking wet. Too much water makes the colour watery and transparent, too little makes it grainy.

Do I need setting powder?
No. Water-based face paint sets by itself on dry skin. Setting powder is for cream paint and foundation, not for water-based face paint.

Can you apply colours over each other?
Yes. Let each layer dry briefly before you apply a new colour, so your work stays crisp and doesn't smudge.

Is Diamond FX vegan and gluten-free?
According to the manufacturer, Diamond FX face paint products are vegan: they contain no animal ingredients or by-products and are not tested on animals. The paint is not made in a gluten-free certified facility but, according to the manufacturer, contains no gluten. All colours are paraben-free and fragrance-free.
