We love our traditions, and Shrove Tuesday is one of them. We like to dress up and have a really nice party, and there's a lot more to it than just kicking the bucket, there's costumes and face painting to spice up the party. But it doesn't just have to be for carnival that we dress up and do face painting, it can also be themed parties or birthday parties where we paint our faces in different features.
Face painting without parabens - For children of all ages
Face painting is a hit at children's birthday parties, either they do it themselves or an adult helps, it's just a hit with the little ones. But adults also use it to dress themselves up with really impressive face paint, they may be performing a folk play or a dilettante act, they often need a good striking make up.
Being face painted like a tiger rampaging through the jungle or whether it's the most beautiful butterfly to be found in the rainforest, it's always nice to party this way. Our face paint you can use with a clear conscience, it's a water-based, paraben free face paint that's easy to wash off with soap and water after the party is over.
How to get started with a make-up kit
Want to make face painting a little hobby, is it a cat, a skeleton or a witch you want to make? - Then the make-up kit is a great place to start. It comes with paints, brushes, glitter and sponges and an idea book to get you started painting different faces.
Why we celebrate Halloween and role play
What completes the costume is face painting, we do it for carnival but also halloween, and for role play, you might not be painting a cat for role play, but you might be painting an orc, and they can look a bit dangerous with their big fangs. When it's role play, it's all about imagination and so is face painting, you can be a cute orc, or an old orc, it's all up to you and your creativity.
For Halloween a lot of people get a skeleton painted on their face, Halloween is something we have adopted from the USA and it is believed that Halloween is the Celtic New Year, the Celts did everything they could to scare away ghosts, that is why we dress up as dangerous monsters when it is Halloween.
Shrovetide was originally a tradition of carnies in the old days, who rode through the village from farm to farm, where they were given a dram. Then they'd all meet up at the street weir and beat the crap out of each other. But even back then you dressed up and scared others, nowadays though it's quieter and mostly children who keep to the tradition. More and more, however, company parties are having themed parties where people dress up and paint their faces.
Did you know that...
As far back as ancient Egypt, face painting palettes have been found, back then they were very dramatic in their face painting, it often signified power and grandeur, and used by both men and women.
