What is water-based makeup?
Water-based face paint consists of soft pigments that you activate with a little water. With a damp sponge or brush, you can make the colors vibrant and ready to use. Once it dries, the paint stays put without smudging – perfect for happy faces that want to play all day long.
This makeup isn't greasy or sticky, making it comfortable on the skin. It's also suitable for all ages and skin types.

The benefits of water-based makeup
Why do so many parents and makeup enthusiasts choose water-based makeup? Because it:
- Easy to clean – just with water and mild soap.
- Safe for children’s skin – without any nasty smell or sticky feeling.
- Quick-drying and even – perfect for busy party times.
