Add sparkle to your Halloween costume or festival look with the ThEast 10 Colours Metallic Face Paint Pen Set, a mess-free, quick-drying alternative to traditional face paint. Designed for both kids and adults, these shimmering body markers deliver bold, high-impact metallic colours that glide easily over skin for temporary tattoos, face art, and body accents that truly shine.
Each pen offers a smooth, easy-to-control tip for detailed designs, making it perfect for drawing glittery spiderwebs, sparkly stars, or creepy-cute outlines. The smudge-proof formula stays put even during dancing or outdoor events—and when the night’s over, just wash it off with soap and warm water. Whether you’re prepping for Halloween, Mardi Gras, or a music festival, this set adds a colourful, shimmering twist to your creative makeup.

🧡 Why We Like This Product (Reviewed by the YPC Team)
“We gave these to some of the kids (and adults!) at our YPC Halloween trail and the results were brilliant. The colours popped—even in low light—and the metallic shine added something really fun to costumes. No messy brushes or clean-up needed. One staff member even used them on rocks for our haunted treasure hunt. Super versatile, and honestly just fun to use.”

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.
