My Paint Shelf: Tried, True, and Totally Worth It
The brands below are MY favorites, but you can choose any brand you wish! Using high-quality face paint is so important, especially when you’re starting out. You can practice all you want, but if you’re using low-quality paint, your work just won’t look as clean, bold, or professional. In the beginning, your paint and brushes really do make the artist. They make a huge difference in how your designs turn out.
Cheap Amazon kits are not the same and are not safe for work use. They don’t perform well and can actually hold you back. You could spend hours practicing teardrops with a bad brush, then pick up a good quality one and—boom—beautiful teardrops. The right tools make all the difference.
Black & White Linework Paint
Black and white liner paints are some of the most important in your kit. Most brands offer a wax-based “liner” made for crisp, clean lines—perfect for outlines, teardrops, and details. This is what really pulls your designs together, so a good one matters. I personally love Wolfe for its bold color and clean lines, but there are plenty of great options—it just comes down to what feels best and gives you consistent results.
One of each, shoot for at least a 45 gram container, because you will use A LOT of these two when practicing and working.

Basic Colors Cakes - Option 1 - Full Palette
If you’re looking to spend a little less up front, a solid color palette with a good range of bright primary colors is a great option. You don’t need a separate black since you can use your liner black, but you do want a good white—wax-based liner white can feel a bit crunchy when used for base work. For that reason, I like to stick with glycerin-based paints for white and base colors. There are lots of great brands out there, but these are some of my favorites.
Basic Colors Cakes - Option 2 - Individual Color Cakes
One of each color, ideally one of each color in a dark tone as well. Shoot for at least a 45 gram container, smaller containers are just a waste of money. I love Superstar and these are my favorite primary colors they offer!
