fluorescent face paint

[MsMollie]

Would anyone know if there is any "glow in the dark" face paint out there? I had a request to paint at a bowling alley during their cosmic bowling night. I need some really cool face paint....some that will glow under a blacklight.

The UV neon colors glow under black light, but they won't glow in the dark without the black light.  I sell these on my site www.funfacepaint.com in the Diamond FX category.  Choose the "neon" colors if you decide to buy the Diamond FX brand neons.

I have purchased some tubes from party stores, because they are a bit different. There are Glow in the dark ones. Some even have sparkles. I only saw the one greenish color. They do work,maybe not perfectly, but I honestly don't used them much. Buy a tube, it's cheap and then paint yourself and go in a dark room. It could be fun!

Beware of party shop paints - I saw some got around cosmetic rules as they market them as toys or novelty items or something.

As far as I am aware there is only 1 true 'glow in the dark' paint by a proper company; Grimas- fluorescent make-up in about 4 shades when viewed under UV/blacklight. It really does glow in the dark after being charged in light too. But she said it was quite hard to work with and they were not sure it lasted as long as expected glowing.

Stick to Wolfe/ D FX neons, I tride all the UVs as i do a lot of clubwork. They are the brightest but also the best as they work for bases AND linework. Just make sure you get UV white too - I thought that like white underwear, any white would  stand out in UV, but, no!

Diamond FX sells some!  Check out the products at www.jestpaints.com

As a Diamond FX distributor, as far as I know,  Diamond FX doesn't sell glow in the dark paints.  They sell the neons which are UV reactive and glow under blacklight.

Maybe that is what Anna uses. On her web site she has alote of I think black light pics that she has painted, and to my knowledge she only uses DFX, I could be wrong.

I have a neon rainbow cake from DiamondFX and on the back it states "For hair and special Effects not intended for cosmetic application"  What is up with that? 

I looked at the back of the neon pallette from Wolfe and it didnt say anything like that.  pps  I had purchased a handheld blacklight on ebay years ago (for antiquing) and it works perfect to check your work!

Also....is there a white for neon?  None of my white dots show up....

Thanks (in advance ;o) for your help!)

Diamond FX sells a neon white.  It shows up under black light, but doesn't show up in regular light.

Thanks  Sherry, I just ordered it (and others ;o) from your site.....

[Sherry]

Awesome... thanks!

This was done with DFX:


 
This was done with TAG:

[Wildcatfin]

Yup as said its all 'neon' that most call 'glow in the dark'.

I use DFX/ TAG/ Wolfe if I only have space for a tiny kit, they do bases and/or linework ok.

Kryolan UVs actually glow brighter in blacklight but they are a bit odd to work with if you don't know them, and they are not much use for linework.

I have yet to find a UV white that is any real use...in this pic thats DFX Uv white at the front, and a small jar of liquid fardel UV white in the back by the yellow UV glitter.

You can tell by the containers which paints are which (Kryolan or UV), the big rainbows are homemade Kryolan and the strip of homemade UV splits is Wolfe.

I mainly use rainbow UV cakes with black patterns over them, it seems.

And UV glitter is terrible on paintwork, just looks like grit - stick to a normal aurora. But is fine on glitter tatts.

Apologies for the carrot in the middle of it - was after a 12 hour day painting at the main rugby event so I was snacking as I set up for the after party!
