What's your plan for the weekend?

Dear friend,

What are you up to this weekend? May I make a suggestion? Go out and paint! It's going to be a sunny weekend - one of the last such before winter sets in.

And while you are soaking in the sun, laughing and painting, remember to take pictures of your creations. Submit your entries to the online facepainting contest and the online glitter tattoo contest - we have great prizes in store for you!

But more important than the prizes is the prestige. Allow me to introduce you to the panel of judges for contest: it's essentially the who's who in the world of body art, including
  • Guido Daniele (one of the best bodypainters in the world),
  • Claire Pick and Julie Oliver (co-editors of Illusion magazine, who will vote as one),
  • Anita Polgár-Zsilák (Chief Editor of Beauty Forum), and
  • Krisztina Soós (yours truly).
Short bios of the judges are included below.

So, what are you waiting for?

And of course, if you need any facepaints, cosmetic-grade glitter, or EU-approved glitter tattoo glue, visit our webshop. We ship most orders the same day.

Happy painting,



Krisztina
P.S. Tell your friends about the contests so that they can join in the fun too.

Up until 1999, Julie was a tole painter before she sat next to a face painter at a craft fair and there and then “began a love affair with painting on a living canvas”.
