If you're relatively new as a face painter, you may never have thought to service your previous clients with emails or phone calls, but failing to make contact early in the year can cost you some of your best regular customers.

Any Mehron fans out here? You're going to love our video today! Shelley Wapniak and Jessica Mellow are trying out the Mehron Fantasy FX liquid face paints and will let you know it's qualities and how you can use them.

This design made it's first appearance within the pages my sketchbook while I was doodling. You never know what's going to come out of your pen or pencil, and you should keep a sketchbook to catch those ideas before they get away. 

You pick up the phone to find a concerned mom on the other end. Her daughter's face seemed to be overly red after they removed the face paint. Is it an allergic reaction? What should she do? As a face painter, you feel immediate concern for the child and also for your business. This is the call you have hoped you will never receive. 

It's time for another glamorous face paint design from Shelley Wapniak! This time, we're giving the tallest land animal, the giraffe, the spotlight! Enjoy and learn how to make a "Glamimal Giraffe!"

If you're weary of pink and purple princess designs, try one of the gorgeous Global split cakes for some glowing colors with this princess design featuring Global's Sydney split cake. 

What's not to admire in Karen Harvey-Huwen's amazing floral designs? Each colorful example of her work is a lovely combination of spontaneity and skill, so when the Swirly Girlies collaboration group I'm a member of chose a challenge with Karen's style as our inspiration, I had a wonderful time giving it a go.
