Face Paint vs. Makeup: What’s the Difference? - FAQ

Question: Can I use makeup as face paint? Face paint differs from makeup in pigmentation, safety, and durability. Cosmetic makeup isn’t always suitable for large areas of the skin, or for every part of the face. JestPaint.com carries only face paints specifically designed for skin, with high color payoff and long-lasting formulas. Avoid substituting face paint for cosmetics unless you are certain the label allows for that use.
