I am starting making blings, it is so fun. I got medical tape in A4 sheets. Today I went to the park with some material and the birds thought it was food for them eheh. Thaknks for the tips in your video. Have a good evening =)

[@fairyfox]

That sounds like a lovely evening- minus the birds eating bling part- hope they turned out great.

Thank you for this tutorial

Hi Laura, may I ask the bings (shown in the video from0:22) in plastic bag with “Put your bings on” are made by yourself or purchased from other stores? They are really pretty! Thank you for making this video!

[@fairyfox]

they were made by Robin, there is a link to her in the video description! Mine are not so pretty! haha

[@nanshao8230]

Hi! Miss your videos💕 Do you happen to know how well the tape holds up in humid heat? I live near Houston, Tx and I just haven’t been able to use bling without a ton of hassle except maybe during the 3/4 brief “winter” months because they just won’t stay on. Tried eye lash glue and some other bling glue. I usually just stick with Festival glitter because it’s fast and won’t fall off in the heat.

[@fairyfox]

Such a great question- I think anything that can stick through intense heat/humidity is likely not great on kids skin- that being said , this stuff works great. Still comes off when kids are on bounce houses- etc. The festival glitter is amazing for that I agree. Bling can be great for indoor event.

[@fairyfox]

Btw- I have missed my videos too. I know better than to make promises- but my fingers are crossed to have more coming!

[@FestivalFacePaintArtist]

@@fairyfox I agree about indoors, I just so rarely have indoor events down here🙄 I do a lot of Markets/Festivals most of the time. I have been curious about the tape option so I guess I will experiment. Thank you for the tips. 🫶🏼

[@FestivalFacePaintArtist]

@@fairyfox I get it, very in consistent with my videos as well. Although I am on a posting streak right now, lol. Just so you know, your videos taught me how to face paint and learn amazing line technique. Your videos are wonderful and you are a great teacher!💖

How do you get your henna so dark?

[@joanneperino1992]

Do you have a link for the make up bags

[@xochitlcortes1964]

Thanks!

[@fadaart]

Do you charge for them at events?

[@trevormadsen]

What kind of color do you use? Oil color? or water based?

[@fairyfox]

Always water based face paint- it is my favorite.

[@edenslife2031]

Can you please explain to me or do a tutorial about cleanliness and cross contamination? is it safe to use same brushes and sponges on multiple children or do you swap each time or wash in between, im a newbie so just want to make sure i do things right xx

[@fairyfox]

There is so much out there!!! I think the basics are pretty simple. #1 don't paint sick kids. #2 keep your area clean #3 most of us use one sponge per kid when working with rainbow cakes. After that you get a lot of different levels of careful. Just remember- even the strictest level of care you will still spread germs- that's what people do, and even with the lowest level of care most people won't get sick- that's what immune systems are for. Most of us find our peace somewhere in the middle. Good Luck.

Hi Laura .. I wanna start adding blings to my facepaint, but how much extra can i charge for a bling?

[@fairyfox]

Such a good question! It depends on your market and your bling. Many people would be more qualified to answer this than me, but how I handled it in my business was just upping my top design price across the board, so bling is included in the price of any super fancy design. For the designs that don't have bling there are other ways to add the "extra special" touch.

[@g231084]

@@fairyfox thanks .. and thanks for all awesome videos 🤩.. you are the best 👌🏼🏆⭐️♥️

hi Laura

[@charleencollins1130]

Bling costs money, breaks into your overhead…

[@fairyfox]

True! It is always tricky to balance value and cost.
