Why We Like This Product – Reviewed by the YPC Team
At our activity centre at Yorkshire Outdoor Activity Park, we tried this set during our annual Halloween scare maze and were blown away by how vibrant and long-lasting the colours were. The paint went on smoothly, didn’t crack under pressure, and washed off easily at the end of the night – a win for both our actors and our cleanup crew! We especially liked that it’s cosmetic-grade and gentle on the skin, so we didn’t have to worry about irritation, even after hours of wear.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
High-pigment colours with strong coverage
Safe for sensitive skin – hypoallergenic and non-toxic

Alternatives Worth Considering
If you’re looking for more colour options or specialty finishes, here are some good alternatives:
Snazaroo Face Paint Palette – Rainbow Colours: Better for multi-colour costumes or group events.

Tips on How to Use Correctly
Use a damp brush to activate the paint before applying.
Start with a white base to make colours pop, especially red.
Apply in thin layers, letting each dry before adding the next.
Always test on a small patch of skin if it’s your first time using the product.
After use, wash off with warm water and soap, or a gentle makeup remover.
