Set of 5 make-up sticks

The set of 5 make-up sticks is a box with five face paint sticks in red, blue, white, yellow and black, supplemented with a pencil sharpener. You can easily keep the sticks handy next to a clown suit, a devil costume or a geisha wig, because with these five colours you can draw the faces that go with such costumes. The set is intended for women, men and children and is especially useful during carnival and Halloween.

What is included with the make-up sticks and what is the sharpener for?

• You get five make-up sticks in the colours red, blue, white, yellow and black.
• Each stick is in a shiny gold-coloured wrapper and has a cone-shaped tip in its own colour.
• A silver-coloured pencil sharpener is included in the set, so you can sharpen a blunt tip again for fine lines.
• According to the packaging, the face paint is easy to apply and remove.
• According to the packaging, the sticks are intended for face and body painting.

Make-up sticks or a face paint palette

You use make-up sticks dry: you draw directly on the skin, without water or a brush. This makes them handy for contour lines around the eyes and mouth and for colouring in small areas. For a completely white or red face, you will spend longer with a stick than with a sponge and water-based face paint, so you mainly use them for details and for touch-ups on the go. With the sharpener, you keep the tip fine enough for a neat black border.

Creating a clown, devil or geisha with five sticks

For a clown, you first draw a white area around the mouth, fill the lips in red and draw a thin black border around it. Blue and yellow above the eyes and a red dot on the nose make the clown face recognisable. A devil mainly requires red and black: dark shadow under the eyes and a red line along the eyelid, together with horns and a red cape. You recognise a geisha by a light face, sharp black eyeliner with a flick outwards and dark red lips.

Order the set of 5 make-up sticks and draw the face that completes your costume during carnival or Halloween.
