Not all face paints are equal — and the gap isn't just about quality. This guide explains what FDA compliance actually means for face paint, what dangerous substances independent testing has found in non-compliant products, why poor coverage is a safety warning sign, and why your insurance may not cover you if you use the wrong products. Includes a full reference list of FDA-approved pigments used in professional face paint.
A complete guide to starting a professional face painting business in Australia. Covers kit selection with Fusion Body Art, Australian business registration, insurance options including Duck 4 Cover and BizCover, pricing benchmarks, hygiene standards, and proven marketing strategies to grow a consistent client base.

Awesome coverage DEEPEST of all blacks
We have tried a multitude of black facepaints for neck blackouts on our Goth Gaming YouTube channel, and am so happy we found this Prime Strong Black from FUSION. The quality, coverage, depth and lack of streaks surpasses all others. This FUSION black outperforms the Snazaroo black we were previously using , and we will not be going back! Added bonus: Australian product! We will be shamelessly plugging whenever appropriate.

Wild Berry is my new Fav 😍
This palette is amazing! I’m just starting out and these split cakes saved my butt. It made rainbows easy to do, snakes, flowers, butterflies. Great for beginners and I’ll definitely be refilling some of these colour combos in the future!
