Face Paint Kids

I need some advice on what kind of paint should I buy for face painting. I've used the non toxic kids paint

from Michaels but the paint does not cover very well and doesn't stay on long enough.

When I worked at a day camp we used a liquid face paint, not the crayon halloween stuff.
Here are some links i found:

I hope this helps.

Face Painting For Fun

Face painting is a delightfully creative way to provide hours of fun children and adults alike. It is surprisingly easy to create your masterpiece on someone's face - or on your own if you are the adventurous type - using simple techniques and tools no more complicated than a brush, a bit of non-toxic paint and a sponge.

Painting faces goes back thousands of years in human history. Our earliest ancestors often dabbed soot, blood, clay, earth or other pigments on their bodies to mark important rites of passage, indicate status or special achievements, or to invoke supernatural powers.

As time went on, simple the patterns became more complex and simple patterns gave way to more permanent ones made with indelible inks and tattooing techniques.

Today, face painting is a great way to role play without having to deal with the often negative social consequences of permanently marking the body and face. It is generally easy to obtain the necessary paints and simple to clean up the results when it's time to put your own face back on.

No longer just for children, both adults and kids enjoy having painted faces on occasion. Common modern motifs for modern face painting include animals, fantasy characters, monsters and demons, supernatural beings, pirates, witches and wizards, nature themes, tribal markings, abstract designs, historical and cultural figures and many more.
