Why We Like This Product – Reviewed by the YPC Team
At Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park, we tested the JoiTale face painting kit during our Halloween costume event, and it was a game-changer. The colours applied smoothly and dried quickly, which is key when you’re painting dozens of kids (and adults!) in one afternoon. The UV fluorescent colours were especially popular in our Haunted UV Tunnel, glowing beautifully under blacklight. We were impressed by the wide range of tools included—particularly the gem sheets and stencils that made it easy for beginners to achieve professional results. Best of all, it washed off in seconds after the fun.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
Massive 42-colour palette with matte, glitter, and UV shades
Comes with brushes, sponges, gems, and reusable stencils
Non-toxic, skin-friendly, and safe for sensitive skin
Water-activated and easy to remove
Great value for parties, families, and creative groups
Cons:
UV colours glow under blacklight only (not glow-in-the-dark)

Some brushes are small—better for detail than full coverage
Alternatives Worth Considering

Tips on How to Use Correctly
Dampen your brush or sponge, then activate the paint with water
Use matte shades for base coats, glitter for accents, and UV for special effects
Let each layer fully dry before adding another to prevent smudging
Apply gems over slightly damp skin or paint to help them stick
Clean tools immediately after use to maintain brush/sponge quality
Store the kit in a cool, dry place, and allow paints to fully dry before closing the lid

We love Halloween so much that we have themed our kids' party rooms at our Outdoor Activity Park. Our favourite room is our "Walking Dead" themed Zombie Party Room.
But we also run events as well as sell Halloween products.
Why not try our "Zombie Uprising " event? You play the part of a special forces operative with missions to save the world from a Zombie Horde, but with real actors running around the map, dressed as Zombies, they will do all they can to stop you.
