Face Paints in Victoria Australia HELP!!

Oki Doke!

Hey all.

Where can i purchace good quality facepaints in victoria?? i mean right off the shelf. i would really just love to walk into a shop have a good look, see the product in person and then spend alot of money lol. i have searched the net and cant find a single thing. i am currently purchasing paints from online stores and in the long run im spending alot of money on postage, when i would really like that money to go towards paints.

Help me!!!!

I dont know of any. Try calling costume shops? I think if you want the good brands- not the cheap stuff usually sold in stores- online may be your only option.... someone else may know of somewhere though. Good luck!

oh, I would love to have a local face painting shop in my area I would spend way to much money!! The only place that sells face paint in my town is the local Spotlight store and it's Derivan brand.

Same re: spotlight/derivan. But, on the other hand, if there was a store selling supplies near you (or me) wouldn't it encourage others to pick up a paintbrush and go into business as your competition?
I kind of like that the good stuff is a little elusive so the "hobby mum" is seperated form the "pro" by the quality of their product (among other things). Call me selfish but I want to keep it all for myself

That's true. It totally shuts people down when they ask where do you get your supplies and I say America or wherever.

There is a makup store in Sydney where you can walk in and purchase. I know that doesn't help in Victoria but, I would assume there might be a makeup and spfx academy in Victoria, these places usually stock face/body paints.

oh, and IMATS is coming to Sydney in September and there will be a company from NZ there. They stock face/body paints and will be selling products at the show.

Oh, what about the ABAA convention next year? And Becstar is doing a workshop in Melb. next month, I wonder if she'll be selling supplies? I suppose you could find out who's doing classes in Melbourne and ask them of they'll be selling stuff.

thanks ladies!! you are right it is kinda nice knowing that its a little tricky to get knowing that not everyone can just get it and start painting!

i done my reserch and i found somewhere!!!!! looney bin in fern tree gully, its about 40mins from me but thats not too bad.

they sell tag, paradise, merhon, snaz and i think theres another one but i cant remember, they also do classes at there store and have jam sessions! check it out i reckon
