Is Wolfe really Diamond FX?

Can someone tell me if Wolfe is pretty much the SAME in color, mixabiltiy and coverage at Diamond FX?
I bought the Klutz Face Paint book and it came with a palette that I think was Wolfe but heard from somewhere that wolfe bros teamed up with Diamond FX / OR is this just not so?

Wolfe brand of paint is NOT the Wolfe Bros. They USED to be associated but severed the relationship several years ago. They had given their name to the brand when it started up so the company still uses it and they can't stop it.

Then they became associated with DFX which is, essentially, the same paint (same factory in China and only very minor differences in the actual product). They demo for DFX and promoted it for a time.

I'm not sure what brands they are "representing" now as I've heard that they were using and promoting other brands at FABAI this year.

Wolfe, DFX and TAG all come from the same manufacturer in China... they are similar in consistency and ingredients (meaning it is a high wax base paint) but each "brand" has slight variations in colours, sizes, etc.

I have found there is very little difference between Wolfe and DFX but they keep tweeking things so one purchase to another there can be minor changes in how they work.

The company in China is also producing products for many face paint companies that are exclusive to that company. Many face painters that sell paint have created their own store brand this way. I've not tried any of these yet.

The reps of TAG, DFX and Wolfe all say there are differences.

The main differences I know about is that Wolfe uses more perfumes, that DFX. TAG has more split cakes than either of the other two.

I jut took a class with the Wolfe Bros at FABAIC and they said that Wolfe, DFX and Tag are all made in the same place just with slightly different ingredients. They also said they have represented Wolfe, DFX and now they are representing Superstar....

Say, thanks for replies!! I loved using the pallet that came with the KLUTZ book and thought it was Wolfe FX and bought an Essentials pallet. The yellow and white do not seem to give teh same coverage as the paint that came with the Klutz book...

AND I thought TAG was an Aussie company, but manufacturing always seems to find its way back to China!
