Onlybe careful - you don't want your face to look like a white mask, so you should try to get as close as possible to the lightest shade.
- Do an allergy test before using face painting or paint.
- Accessories can complete your look: wigs, jewelry, clothing items.
- To make your image as spectacular and bright as possible, you need to complement your makeup with suitable clothes. Makeup and costume should form a single ensemble.
