@jilly4785 I would consider this to be a mask. To be grouped into the “full-face” category, the design should go down to at least the upper lip (like the blue monster tutorial I did).
Thanks for this mermaid design. I was painting at a festival recently and had a young lady hop in my chair and request a mermaid. I recalled this video and painted something similar, but in my own style… and she just LOVED it. Couldn’t stop looking in the mirror. I think the next young lady in line wanted exactly the same, lol! Also, thank you for inspiring me to start facepainting. I think yours was one of the very first tutorials I watched. Now I am working regularly and loving what I do
@MissRuthless It’s considered a metallic. I bought it from the DFX website, but that’s closed now, and I’m not sure what other retailers sell it. Sorry about that!
Can I ask where you bought your bronze dfx? I’m looking right now and can’t find it anywhere? Is it just called bronze or would it be considered a metallic? thanks!
@lisajoyyoung I tried to find the thread at the facepaint forum but I couldn’t find it.
So if my paints say lot #101 they are fakes? Is Diamond fx doing anything about this like giving replacements?
Also, what dos it mean if they are fakes? are they made with different ingredients? Some of mine say “Lot” and no # after just blank.
Congrats! Beautiful design! To answer your question: I prefer to use Wolfe white. TAG has a great consistency to it- but it’s not as opaque as Wolfe or DFX. I like DFX almost as well as Wolfe due to it’s opacity- but I find that the paint gets a little glunky easier than Wolfe. Wolfe has the best of both worlds- great consistency AND opacity!
congrats on your baby boy!! Can you make a tutorial using stencils? I’m about to order the Badass ones from Silly farm would you recommend something like that? Thx for all your fantastic tutorials you’ve changed the way I’m working
@thekitkat38 Unfortunately, no. As far as I know, Wolfe refuses to sell paint to stores that are selling DFX or TAG, so you have to get Wolfe from a separate source
Love the new design Lisa and congrats on the new baby. Your videos have been so helpful for a hobby-ist like me.
On the DFX issue, Wowfactorstuff (dot com) is selling some white and black in 32 gram sizes with free shipping thru 8/31/11. Gina says she obtained it from the Netherlands. I love their paints too and couldn’t help myself and bought some despite the drama.
Keep the videos coming and try to get some sleep! Thanks for all that you do!
just wondering if you can tell me if there is a supplier in the US that stocks all 3 brands - DFX, Wolfe and TAG? I can’t get a couple of DFX and Wolfe colours here in Aus.
LOVE THIS DESIGN!!!! Congrats Lisa! My 3rd little girl is now 11 weeks. I have not painted since I had her, I dont know how you find the time!!! I think I am ready to dive back in now though. Question… do you have something you look at for reference? How do you remember all these designs?
I love the way you speak. Especially they way you say the word “AND” Ay-ind. Love it. You speak the same way as make-up artist, Petrelude. Where are you from?
I’m English, by the way.
Could you do a spongebob design?

Hi Lisa,
Would this be considered a full-face design, even though it’s technically the top half of the face?

hello, use paint cles
@MissRuthless You might want to see if TAG sells something similar. Also, you can get the same effect by mixing a darker green with gold

Do you know of another brand that sells a color similar or almost the same shade as the DFX “Bronze” you used?
So what if u can’t get those brands? Can u use stuff from Walmart?

Beatiful as always. thanks for posting…
@PalAndriani I actually don’t have any stencils. If I ever get some I would be happy to do a tutorial using them
