Thoughts on this brand? I know of it, haven't used it, and for the life of me can't remember what the general consensus of it is!

Junk. They sell it at our local costume shop. It's just awful!

I have the fantasy shimmer powder from graftobian in a few colors (black, white, pink, and purple) and love it. Haven't tried the paint though.

Hmmm. I heard that there's a free workshop being done by Graftobian nearby and I was thinking about going because, hey, it's free! AND a Monday.

I did do a quick search and those Disguise Stix came up - I vaguely remember seeing them when I used to work on cruise ships and I remember not being impressed (this is when I wasn't even using good makeup, myself), but thought that maybe there's another non stick format?

I'm thinking I'll go anyway, just to see...

I love their gold and silver mixing liquid powders. I can't tell the difference between that and Mehron.

I also like their Pros Aide to put on gems.

I'm just talking the paints & the crayons. There's better stuff out there. I've not tried the powders, etc.

I didn't know they made face paints... I use their clown white and I like it. It's thicker than the mehron clown white so it covers my nasty French eyebrows better. Lol

I've never got into Graftobian, but I just looked through their catalog quickly and wow what a variety of products they have. I've heard positive things about the company in general and not had any problems with their product that I did use. Their face painting formula is available in "dishes", but they also have glitters, powders, latex, lots of things useful and interesting. If it doesn't cost you (in money or time you should be elsewhere), it sounds ideal to go and see.....

I have been looking into getting their Special FX kit to play around with. I always wanted to make monsters and zombies and the show Face Off made me want to try it even more.

Thei hibred airbrush makeup is THE best! Also, their professional moisturizers are amazing for day to day use.

If any of you remember Bob Kelly Cosmetics from theatre, their chemist is Bob kelly's former chemist. Good products and decent price.

The design sticks.... WELL.... if I needed something for kids, or to sell or use for a bunch of folks at a football game. It is an interesting product, but probably not what many want or are used to.... It is soap based so washes out of most things, though it can stain skin oddly enough.

Most of their other products are recommended.

I've used their coloured latex... good product. And spirit gum - same as any others but less expensive. Also translucent setting powder, some brushes and a few other items. All decent quality and good value.

I did try their airbrush make-up - not terribly pleased. Several of the colours went "off" before I could use them - yellow and some flesh tones. Ended up disposing of most of it. Not happy about that as it was a very expensive purchase.
