There are many types of paints to use in face paintings, but not all of them are safe. The only types paints you want to use in your face paintings are skin safe paints. It does not matter if it says natural, non-toxic, chemical free, or any other reference to being chemical safe. Chemical safe does not mean that the paint was designed or tested for skin use.
If you use any types of glitter, then you need to use only FDA approved glitter for cosmetic purposes. This type of glitter fits the safety and types of substances that are safe to use for the face.
When you clean your brushes and any other equipment that you use for your face paintings, only use water to clean them. If you use chemical agents, then there could still be residue left from the chemical that can pose a safety hazard when using it the next time.
