PXP black face paint is a deep black water-based aqua paint in a round pot, intended for face and body paint. The pigment is an opaque black, so you can apply both thin lines and large areas in a single layer. This face paint is suitable for women, men, and children getting ready for Halloween, Carnival, or a themed party.
Which pot size do you need?
- The pot is available in three sizes: small with 10 grams, large with 30 grams, and XXL with 90 grams.
- For line work, eyebrows, moustaches, and small details, the 10-gram pot is more than enough.
- If you want to paint whole faces or paint multiple people, choose the 30 or 90-gram pot.
- The colour is black, with a matte surface in the pot that you pick up with a damp sponge or brush.
- The brand is PXP Professional Colours, the same range that you can expand with other colours.
Black as a base colour for face painting
Black is the colour that gives most face paint looks their shape. Contours, outlines, and shadows determine whether a design is readable from a distance, and an opaque black colour is needed for that. You work with aqua paint using water: the more water, the more transparent the layer, and the drier you keep the brush, the sharper the line. That is why face painters often use black as the final step, over the coloured areas. Think of a spiderweb on the cheek, the seams of a skeleton face, cat whiskers, or a gothic eye look.
Black face paint in a complete outfit
A black-painted face only completes a costume, so coordinate your design with what you are wearing. With a black cape and a pointed hat, a strictly outlined witch face works; with a striped shirt and eye patch, a moustache and beard shadow are appropriate. Combine the face paint with a wig, fake nails, or a hat in the same colour scheme, so that the look is a cohesive whole from head to toe. If you are working with multiple colours, apply the light areas first and finish with this black.
Black face paint for Halloween, Carnival, or a themed party
This black face paint suits almost any costume occasion where your face is part of the look. For Halloween, you use it to paint skeletons, zombies, and witches; for Carnival, the emphasis is on clowns, animals, and quick cheek designs. Also at a costume party or a gothic themed party, black is the colour you need most often.
