It’s party time…! In fact, whatever the time of year there’s always some reason to hold a party…! Birthdays, anniversaries, Easter, Christmas, New Year, bonfire night, Valentine’s day, charity fundraisers… The list can be endless but if there’s one thing universal about parties it’s that people like to dress up. Young or old a party is a time to unwind, relax and have a bit of fun and, for the youngsters in particular, the craze of having their face painted is the icing on the cake. 

Face painting, however, is an art and to get the best from the makeup you’ll need a good design. Creating an overall picture can be quite difficult without experience and although books are available on the subject these only offer you someone else’s creations. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to design your own from scratch and personalise every one for each person according to what they want? Well, now you can…! 

Focus Multimedia has just release a product called FUN AND PARTY FACE PAINTING and with it you’ll be able to create fully customisable designs and add a whole host of accessories until you get just the look you’re after. Not only does it give you dozens of traditional designs, it also contains flags, football themes, scary animals, insects and spooks plus a wide variety of others to play around with. 

Taking its format from similar products that centred on makeup and hairstyles you are given a selection of models to initially work with but you can import your own images directly from scanner, file or digital camera. Once on-screen it’s simple to adjust size and alignment and then you are ready to start creating.  

Drop down menus display the range of designs that, with a click, cover the image like a mask. Then you can add any accessories you might feel are needed such as funny spectacles, hats or wigs. Then there are outlandish eyelashes, luscious or wacky lips, all placed instantly with the click of the mouse. This is all well and good but the real thrill is coming up with a design of your own and a complete range of palettes and brushes are just waiting for you to begin.  

Everything is created on layer overlays, which makes it easy to remove something you don’t like, and think of the cash you’ll save by not wasting expensive products on experimentation…! Play to your hearts content secure in the knowledge that it isn’t costing you a penny. Then, when you have achieved what you were looking for, print it all out and break out the face paints. 

FUN AND PARTY FACE PAINTING comes in 3 different packages… There are jewel case or DVD case versions that retail at £9.99 or a £12.99 boxed version containing more that £100 worth of money off vouchers from Tactical Magic. These will save you £££’s on such things as Glitter & Gel sets, Iridescent Powder, Hair sets and much more, and all the recommended products are completely safe, non-toxic and water-soluble.
