How To Use

Yes it’s that easy. Use the tip of the pencil for small lines, or use the side of the end for a bit thicker line. The instructions mention using a brush or sponge for larger areas so you can probably draw on a sponge and then apply to the skin. I didn’t have a sponge to try it. It washes off with soap and water and comes in a 6 colour set: white, yellow, red, blue, green and black.

As you can see, it’s lighter than your average face paint. It’s also smooth and doesn’t wipe off if you touch your skin, nor does it need time to dry.
