This is a great step by step tutorial for boys and girls who like to be scary. You only need a rainbow cake, in this case we used Global FunStroke Taupo, White face paint (we used Global Liquid White because it is extra white), a round brush (we used a Mark Reid Number 4) and a flat brush (#4 is good).

Attending a convention is a great way to meet other entertainers and learn new skills. However, you should review the cancellation policy before paying to register for a convention. A recent debate on a balloon group on FaceBook revealed that some convention organizers do NOT allow people to sell or transfer their registration if they cannot attend. I understand that organizers may not be able to offer a refund, but they should allow people to give their registration away so that someone else can take advantage of the money that was already paid to attend the convention.

The people at Illusion have announced their latest face painting competition. This time, it is a two color competition, pink and green.
Who is ready for an interesting challenge? This one is a little trickier and with a few more rules; we would like you to create a face painting design but only using two colours, pink and green. Choose one shade of each of these colours from any face painting brand, you can mix them, blend them but you can only use these two paints. No white or black, no split cakes or rainbow cakes are allowed. However we will accept gems, glitters and glitter gels of any colour as long as they do not over-power the design. No latex or prosthetics to be used.
The face painting design can be anything you wish but the idea is to just use two colours to stretch your imagination and be really creative.
This is a short competition which closes 15th November Midnight GMT. We have some great prizes including paints, glitter, brushes, stencils and Illusion Magazine. To enter just email your design to editor@illusionmagazine.co.uk with Pink and Green comp in the subject line!
