How to apply Fusion Prime face paint

To use Fusion Body Art water activated Prime face paints, simply get your face painting brush or sponge slightly wet and then go over a small area of the surface of your cake back and forward until the paint on the tip of your brush or sponge has a creamy consistency — you can also do this with a circular motion rather than back and forward motion. If you notice that you have a bit too much water on your cake, keep moving the brush or sponge back and forward until the extra water mixes in with the paint to create that creamy consistency. Once your face painting brush is fully loaded, go ahead and swipe your brush or tap your sponge over the skin or area to be painted.

How to remove face paint from skin

To remove the face paint from your skin, simply use soap and warm water. Using a sponge or soft cloth, add some soap and just a few drops of water (enough to activate the soap) and proceed to gently rub the skin until all pigments have been loosened. Then go ahead and rinse with warm water. Repeat one more time if necessary. If you are left with any stains, then use some lotion or baby oil, let it set for a few minutes and wipe off. If you are still left with some pigmentation on your skin, wait until the next day — normal sweat and skin shedding through the night should take care of it.
