Dfx black question

I tried Wolfe black and hated it because it took 3 days to get it off my face, and I only used it for tiger marks. When I tried to get it off it stained my WHOLE face; not just where the markings off. I used soap, lotion, and even olive oil and couldn't get it off. So I don't use it.

Is Dfx black the same way? I use paradise now, but it gets muddy too easily and was thinking of trying dfx.

I have never had wolfe black stain my face but dfx is sort of the same...

Lol. Ok, think I will stick to paradise then

You should be fine if you use it over another color as in your avatar, but I have used both Wolfe and DFX black on myself and children without staining. It takes a little more effort, but it came off us.

If you have REALLY dry skin it will absorb more readily. Try putting on lotion first as a base???

what do you mean about your Paradise black getting "muddy"?

When I wear Wolfe around my eyes I end up with eyeliner for a couple of weeks.

I always remove with baby wipes first, then wash... and to start I just lay down the wipe and press to life off the paint rather than smear it... then sort of "scoop" with the wipes instead of smearing ... IYKWIM?

I'm not so much worried about myself getting it off as some little kid, or rather their parent being upset with me.

the vast majority of my designs use black marks, mainly because it's easier for me to do black teardrops than white ones. I don't know why... but they ALWAYS turn out better when I use the black. But... I use it so much that it gets overly wet. I suppose I could just bring two of them... but I probably won't remember.

You are a woman. I do that and I have some explaining to do, lol.

Why? Tell 'em you're going Goth!! LOL

I actually do not use Wolfe or DFX black in my kit at all - never use it on kids for exactly that reason!

I use Snaz for my black line work and Kryolan for bases. And if I need something a little more sharp (or the heat is causing problems with the Snaz & Kryolan) I use Liquid black Fardel which I always have with me.

really? snaz for line work? I would think that wouldn't show too well. I'll have to give it a try. I like the paradise, probably because that is what I was taught with. Plus, it doesn't melt like Snaz does, and that is always a problem.

These are both ONLY Snaz.

You have to get the consistency right but I use Snaz all the time when working on kids. I add water to my cake so I have a gooey spot and just add water as needed to keep it workable. AND your base has to be dry too, before doing detail on top like on the Dog.

All the designs in my book were done ONLY using Snaz... these are two from the book.

wow... I had no idea snaz worked that well. thanks

It does stay on the skin better than other brands, but I haven't got any complains, only people telling me they was happy the design was looking good longer than other facepaintings they have had.
I give a card saying how to remove it best. It also include my contact info ;-)

the black does stain but make sure to moisturize ive been using wolfe forever and never had a complaint the one that has stained me for a WEEK is paradise teal i believe omg
