Hi Lisa,

Would this be considered a full-face design, even though it's technically the top half of the face?

@jilly4785 I would consider this to be a mask. To be grouped into the "full-face" category, the design should go down to at least the upper lip (like the blue monster tutorial I did).

Can I ask where you bought your bronze dfx? I'm looking right now and can't find it anywhere? Is it just called bronze or would it be considered a metallic? thanks! :)

[lisajoyyoung]

@MissRuthless It's considered a metallic. I bought it from the DFX website, but that's closed now, and I'm not sure what other retailers sell it. Sorry about that!

[MissRuthless]

Do you know of another brand that sells a color similar or almost the same shade as the DFX "Bronze" you used?

[lisajoyyoung]

@MissRuthless You might want to see if TAG sells something similar. Also, you can get the same effect by mixing a darker green with gold :)

Could you do a spongebob design?

Thanks for this mermaid design. I was painting at a festival recently and had a young lady hop in my chair and request a mermaid. I recalled this video and painted something similar, but in my own style... and she just LOVED it. Couldn't stop looking in the mirror. I think the next young lady in line wanted exactly the same, lol! Also, thank you for inspiring me to start facepainting. I think yours was one of the very first tutorials I watched. Now I am working regularly and loving what I do :)
