FAQs
Are these make-up sticks safe for children?
Yes, the product is manufactured and tested to comply with the latest EU and American Safety standards. However, adult supervision is recommended during application, and a patch test is advised for children, especially those with sensitive skin.
How do I remove the make-up?
The make-up can be removed using a gentle makeup remover, cleansing oil, or mild soap and water. Avoid excessive rubbing to prevent skin irritation.
Can these sticks be used for professional body painting?
While suitable for creative designs and parties, the multi-grease formula is best suited for non-professional applications. For professional, long-lasting body art, specialized body paints might offer better durability and coverage.
What is the shelf life of the make-up sticks?
When stored correctly with caps secured, the make-up sticks should maintain their quality for at least 1-2 years. Look for changes in texture or odor, which may indicate the product has degraded.
Can I mix the colors together?
Yes, the multi-grease formula allows for blending. You can mix the colors on a palette or directly on the skin to create custom shades.
Are these waterproof?
The make-up sticks are not explicitly waterproof. They may smudge if exposed to excessive moisture, sweat, or friction. Using a setting spray can improve their resistance.
Troubleshooting
Product does not apply smoothly
Ensure skin is clean and dry. You may need to warm the stick slightly by rubbing it between your fingers before application, or try a different area of skin to test if the product has dried out.
Color appears patchy
Apply in thin layers, allowing each layer to set slightly. For lighter colors on darker skin tones, applying a thin base layer of white may improve vibrancy. Ensure you are using a suitable applicator if not applying directly.
Makeup smudges easily
Allow the makeup to dry completely before touching or layering. Consider using a setting powder or a cosmetic setting spray specifically designed for face paint for better durability.
Skin irritation after use
Discontinue use immediately. Wash the affected area with mild soap and water. Consult a healthcare professional if irritation persists. Always perform a patch test before full application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These make-up sticks are designed for use on clean, dry skin. They are compatible with most cosmetic primers and setting sprays for enhanced longevity and finish. They are *not* recommended for use on wigs, costumes, or other surfaces.
Care: Store the make-up sticks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the caps are securely replaced after each use to prevent drying. To remove, use a gentle makeup remover, cleansing oil, or soap and water. Avoid using harsh scrubbing, which can irritate the skin.
