Kryvaline Face Paints and SFX

NOTICE: at our store we sell not only face and body paints and tools but also Special FX (SFX) products designed to be used for special effects only. UV/Neon colors that have that notice on their description and/or name indicate that they are NOT considered a cosmetic product within the USA and Europe. The KRYVALINE UV/Neon products have yet to be tested by the USA FDA for cosmetic safety so manufacturers have labeled them and sell them as a Special FX product to be used on clothing, over prosthetics, etc. to create a black light glow effect. This warning does not apply to all countries that we sell to, please look into your own country's regulations for neon paints. Any Neon/UV paint without that warning has been determined to be cosmetic compliant by the manufacturer. At Jest Paint, we don't label products and are not responsible for manufacturer's claims or label's compliance, but we do our best to make sure that the label information provided to us is available on our website as well. If you have questions please contact the manufacturer directly.

Kryvaline is a great line of face paint and special effects paints hailing from Canada. The name is a nod to the owner’s three children, so the line was created with easy application and fun face painting looks for kids in mind. Please not that cakes containing Neon pigments are for special effects, for painting clothing, signs, prosthetics and more for black light events.
Kryvaline rainbow cakes are sold in in 30g, 40g or 50g containers so you can get as much as you need to fit perfectly into your professional face painting kit. Kryvaline body paint is known for bold pigment with creamy texture for great coverage. Create the perfect butterfly with bright colors or natural looks with earth inspired neutral tones.

Kryvaline Face Paint Sponges

Kryvaline also provides a great line of ‘never stain’ black sponges. We love face paint sponges designed by face paint manufactures because they are designed to fit the rainbow cakes perfectly for easy application. Black face paint sponges are easy to clean and will look like new after washed, avoiding the typical stains that can be seen on regular orange face painting sponges.

Let us know if there are any other Kryvaline products that you would like to see at Jest Paint as we are always looking to expand our line to bring the face paints you would love to use.

*Is your paint not activating with water? Please remember to peel off the thin plastic sheets from your new cakes when they arrive. :)

Kryvaline Face Painting Tips

General Information

PLEASE NOTE: The information on this page is only for Kryvaline Face Paints. It is not for NEON paints labeled SFX NON-COSMETIC. Click the products to read about the use of neons.

Kryvaline is the first brand of face paints to offer 2 different formulas to match the needs of different painters. They have a regular formula which is very similar to Diamond FX, TAG and Wolfe FX, and a "creamy" formula which is closer to Fusion Body Art. Although it might sound contradicting, their "creamy" formula is in our opinion less creamy that you might expect. Their regular formula actually tends to be creamier. Both formulas offer bold pigments, great coverage and perfect qualities for base and line work. They can be used together with out any issues.

PRO TIP: Due to the brittle nature of a few of the paints, you may find cracks on the surface or through the cakes. Though the paint is perfectly fine, this can be fixed by warming the cakes up a bit and pressing them, or by continued use with water to re-hydrate them. Is your paint not activating with water? Please remember to peel off the thin plastic sheets from your new cakes when they arrive. :)

HOW TO ACTIVATE KRYVALINE FACE PAINTS?

In order to activate Kryvaline face paints, use a damped face painting sponge or face painting brush. First, get your sponge or brush slightly wet, make sure to remove any excess water before activating the face paint. Then, rub the brush or sponge against the face paint cake in order to activate the paint. Make sure to keep rubbing back and forward until the paint has a creamy consistency. If you are using a face painting brush for line work you can also go for a more ink like consistency. If you have too much water on the cake keep rubbing the sponge or brush in order to work that water into the paint and get the right consistency.

HOW TO APPLY KRYVALINE FACE PAINTS SOLID COLORS?

Once you have your preferred applicator loaded with face paint, then apply it to the skin. If you are using a sponge make sure to apply the face paint using a patting motion rather than swiping your sponge. Patting gently and consistently gives you a much smoother and opaque base than swiping your sponge. We recommend to use face painting sponges when applying a base coat.

When working with brushes simply lay the face painting brush against the skin and move in the desired direction. Make sure to keep a steady firm hand to have good control over your brush.

HOW TO APPLY KRYVALINE SPLIT CAKES?

Using split cakes or rainbow cakes can look complicated at first, but once you get used to it you will find them easy to use. When loading your split cake make sure to move your sponge or brush back and forward following the direction of the stripes; also, try t hold your cake in a way so that the excess water can flow down in the direction of the stripes. Make sure not to shake your sponge or brush side to side so that the colors don't get muddy. If you want to apply a nice base coat you can use Kryvaline Rainbow Cakes and pat your sponge gently against the skin making sure to keep it moving always in the same direction so that the colors don't get muddy. You can always use a fan like movement or a side by side movement. When using a brush, you will likely want to use a 3/4' or 1" face painting brush and use a Kryvaline 30gr or even a 40gr split cake. Move your brush in the direction you wish, making sure not to flip your brush so that colors don't get muddy.

HOW TO REMOVE KRYVALINE FACE PAINTS?

Kryvaline face paints can be removed easily with just soap and warm water. You can use a soft sponge or cloth to aid in the removal process just make sure it is not abrasive. Always start by coating the skin with a thin layer of soap; it can be liquid or regular soap. Once you have worked the soap into the face paint, then proceed to rinse. You might need to repeat this process a few times. Always make sure to be gentle since excessive rubbing of your skin can cause irritation. Also, we suggest not to use scented baby wipes since the perfume can cause allergic reactions. If any stains are left on the skin after washing it, consider using lotion. You might need to let the lotion set in for a few minutes before wiping it off. In the rare case in which a stain is still visible after this process, please wait for 24 hours before attempting to wash off the area again. Normal sweating and oil production from your skin will aid int he removal process, as well as rubbing against your sheets while you sleep.

All face paints can stain since it depends mostly on your skin type. If you are concerned, always try a small patch of the color on the area to be painted and test for stains 30 minutes after. If the color does leave a stain, you might want to consider using a different color if that concerns you. Dark colors (like dark blue and dark green) tend to be the ones that stain skin the most.

To remove the paint off your face painting brushes and sponges, we recommend using a brush soap like the Pink Soap by Mona Liza. These soaps are designed to remove oils and pigments off your tools and will do a much better job than regular hand soap. Once your tools have been washed off and throughly rinsed to remove all traces of soap, let them dry out completely before storing them. Avoid using harsh chemicals that can damage your products, like bleach.

HOW TO STORE KRYVALINE FACE PAINTS?

Like with all cosmetic products, it is always best to keep Kryvaline face paints away from a direct light source and in a cool and dry environment. Excessive heat can make your face paints really soft, and excessive light can fade the colors on the outer layers of your cake. An excess of humidity can cause mold to grow and spoil your face paints.

Before putting your face paints away after you used them, make sure to wipe the top clean using a clean sponge (do not use baby wipes since they will leave a fuzzy layer on your cakes), let them dry out with the lids open and then proceed to put the lids back on and store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight. You can use laptop cases to keep light away from your cakes. When cleaning split cakes, make sure that you wipe the surface off following the direction of the stripes.

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE INFORMATION / NON COSMETIC WARNING

All Kryvaline standard and pearl/metallic colors have been formulated with FDA approved pigments for cosmetic application. All neon colors are considered a special effects product and do not comply with FDA cosmetic regulations although they have been independently tested for skin safety and have been determined safe to be used on the skin by independent laboratories, according to the manufacturer. Neon colors contain pigments that have not yet been tested by the US FDA to be used on cosmetics. They are considered safe for skin by other countries.

Like all cosmetic products, face paints can cause an allergic reaction if the individual is allergic to any of its components. Although Kryvaline face paints have been formulated with special ingredients to reduce the chances of an allergic reaction, an allergy free experience can not be guaranteed by any manufacturer. The manufacturer recommends that this product should not be applied to broken or sensitive skin. Test by placing a small amount to the wrist, if reaction occurs within 30 minutes do not use.

Please know that in the US the FDA does not recommend the use of purple, red blue and green makeup colors near the eyes or lips area, regardless of the brand. Use within 18 months of opening the package. Unsuitable for children under 36 months due to small parts which may cause chocking (this is related to the kids manipulating the product, not regarding kids being painted).

GMO, GLUTEN, PARABENS, NUTS AND VEGAN CONCERNS

Based on the manufacturers ingredients list, Kryvaline face paints are vegan since they do not contain any animal sourced ingredients or byproducts and they are not tested on animals. Some products include perfume (hydroxy-methylpentylcyclohexenecarboxaldehyde).
