Info
Mermaid Tale blends soft pastels with a run of shimmering Pearl colours for a cake that's built for mermaid face paint work, though it holds up just as well for butterfly face paint and fish face paint designs. The mix of matte and pearl finishes gives a natural gradient effect, like scales catching the light. This 50g cake gives 100–250 applications (varies by design), with an easy wash-off formula.

FAQs
What is it?
A pastel-and-pearl rainbow face paint cake with a shimmering finish — 50g, giving 100–250 applications depending on design.
What is it used for?
Mermaid Tale is a strong pick for mermaid face paint, and works well for butterfly face paint and fish face paint designs where a shimmer finish suits the look.
Why does this cake mix matte and pearl colours?
Combining pastel matte shades with Pearl shimmer colours gives a natural gradient effect across the cake — closer to how light catches scales or an underwater surface than an all-matte or all-shimmer cake would give.
Can I use a brush instead of a sponge?
Yes — load a 1" or smaller flat brush with just a few of the colours at a time for one-stroke scales, fins, and butterfly wings.
How many applications does one cake give?
100–250 applications, depending on how much of the design uses the cake and how heavily it's applied.
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes, for ages 3 and up. As with any cosmetic, we recommend a patch test on the wrist before full application.
How is it removed?
Easily removed with soap and water on a soft cloth or sponge.

How to apply & remove
1
Load your sponge
Dampen a sponge or body brush so it's moist, not dripping. Swipe it across all six colours a few times so each one picks up evenly, then apply to the skin in one smooth motion without scrubbing — this keeps the shimmer even instead of patchy.
2
One-stroke brush work
For scales, fins, or butterfly wings, load a 1" or smaller flat brush with just a few of the colours at a time rather than sweeping across the whole cake, then paint in a single confident stroke.
3
Add detail
Once the base is complete, add outlines and details using black, white, or another solid Fusion colour for extra definition.
4
Let dry
Dries quickly, and once dry has a smudge-resistant finish.
5
Remove
Easily removed with soap and water on a soft cloth or sponge. For the gentlest removal, we recommend Brush & Body Wash by Jest Paint ↗ — a natural, plant-based soap safe for skin and brushes.
6
Clean your brushes & store
Clean brushes and sponges after each use with Brush & Body Wash by Jest Paint ↗ so colours don't carry over between uses. Store the cake dry with the lid on in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Never leave in a hot car.
Ingredients
Comparison
vs buying colours separately
One rainbow cake face paint replaces six individual jars for pastel-and-shimmer designs — faster to load, and every colour is right there for one-stroke blending.
vs split cakes
Split cakes are 30g with narrow colour bands for one-stroke gradient blending. This rainbow cake is 50g with six full-sized segments, built for full multi-colour sponge coverage as well as one-stroke work.
vs oil-based paints
Acacia Senegal Gum base is lighter than oil-based formulas — no greasy feel, and removes with soap and water instead of oil cleansers.
Best for
Mermaids, sea creatures, and anyone needing easy soap-and-water removal at the end of the day.
Not suitable for: full waterproofing requirements. If you need waterproof paint, consider an alcohol-activated formula instead.
