Today we will talk about how to use it according to your different needs.
What is the cream face paint palette?
First and foremost, let’s get to know what is face paint. Face paint has been used by professionals to create very special makeup effects for many years, like in the theater, on holidays or in movies. In fact, face painting can be seen as a real art form. There are many talented makeup artists who use faces as their canvas and transform them into animals or fantasy characters. It is one kind of face paint type. And there are also grease paints and water-activated paints.
The cream palette is usually available in many colors. It has a creamy, buttery texture, so it doesn't dry out when used and it conforms perfectly to the skin. Compare with grease paints and water-activated paints, cream paints are perhaps the most common and economically priced option for beginners or for those just looking to do a basic look.
How to apply the cream face paint palette for special occasions?
If you want to make stage makeup or if you are ready to make a splash on Halloween, then colorful cream face paints can definitely help you out. First of all, it is very easy to buy. You can walk into any costume store and get a nice palette.
Usually, you can use a sponge or your fingertips to apply the palette. You can use it to draw any artistic style on your face. However, the drawback of cream paints is that it does not set reliably and can transfer onto clothes. So how to solve it? The trick is to “bake” the makeup, which means using a setting powder to put on the makeup and then removing the excess powder with a soft brush.
If you have a dark skin tone, we recommend that you apply a layer of white pigment to your face before applying any other color. This will minimize the color difference.
How to apply the cream face paint palette for daily makeup?
As we have mentioned before, the palette can also be used for our daily makeup. So how exactly does this work? In fact, for pro makeup artists, the cream palette can not only be used to create endless looks but also can be seen as the concealer, color corrector, or blush.
In detail, you can use a color that is close to your skin as the concealer. Because the texture is creamy, it is very well blended and will give you a natural nude finish. But remember to use a setting powder to bake it.
As for color correcting, you need to use different colors for your unique issue. If you have blue under-eye circles, the orange color corrector can neutralize them magically. If you have bluish-purple or indigo under-eye dark circles, you are going to use yellow or yellowish orange. And if you have acne or blemishes, you should use green color to correct the redness.
Then, purple and yellow are contrasting colors that can be used to improve dull areas of the face, cover dark acne marks and blemishes, etc. Also, if you use a purple color corrector on the T-zone, it can brighten up the look and add more dimension.
Finally, how to use the palette as a blush? The cream palettes have a creamy texture and bright colors that are perfect for use as blush. Compare with powder blush, cream blush can provide such a natural-looking flush of color that looks like you are born with it. But on the other hand, the powder blush tends to last longer and is lighter in texture.
