TAG Face Paints - Red (32 gm)

I used the red for my Trigon (Teen Titans) cosplay! Super great product. Make sure to get some water on the cake and scrub it til you get the consistency you want. I used a basic paint brush to apply. It's easy to get an opaque appearance with even coverage. I'm about 5'8" and I was able to cover my chest, face, arms, shoulders, upper back, and most of my legs without finishing the cake. Paint your hands last! I do suggest setting it especially if you will be in a warm setting. It can rub off on things a bit, so be careful of what you touch ( it should still come off the object easily since it is water soluble. Washed off really well - use a decent amount of soap and don't be afraid to scrub some. I found it helpful to go over my skin with a makeup wipe to get off the remainder that you couldn't see. I will definitely be buying their paints again!

The color of the red in the pan looks darker than it applied on my skin which was perfect. It didn't transfer at all and removed easily with my make up remover and a shower at the end of the night. Really easy to use and dries pretty quick on the skin, easy to layer make up over.

The instructions don’t state to use a wet brush to apply, so make sure to do so. Goes on easy, dries fast, washes off completely. Great product.

The consistency of this product exceeds the competition by far. It's easy to apply and doesn't flake off like other face paints I've used. It's more of a powder consistency, which is likely why it stays on better. Also, it did not cause my face to break out like other products had in the past. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because the color appears a little more pink than red once applied. I put on several layers, thinking I needed more for it to look like a true red. However, it still appeared more on the pink side. If you're looking for a true red or deep red, I'd look for something else.

Although my product arrived quickly, the pigment was bright and it was easy to apply, I was frustrated with the overall wear. I used a makeup primer underneath, then I used the Mehron setting powder, then I used the Mehron brand liquid setting spray. It was a hot and muggy night so I was sweating quite a bit. My makeup ran down my face all night. I guess I needed waterproof makeup.
