How do you wet face paint?

To wet face paint, you need to add water to activate it, usually with a brush.

Activating Face Paint with Water

Here’s how you typically wet face paint, drawing from the provided YouTube video reference:

Using a Brush:
- First, get your brush slightly damp with water. It shouldn’t be dripping wet; a slightly moist brush works best.
- Then, choose your desired color of face paint.
- Gently rub the damp brush back and forth over the surface of the face paint. This will start to create a creamy paste on the brush.
- Continue rubbing until you have a nice, creamy paste of paint on your brush that you can use to apply to the face.

Water Amount: It's crucial to use a small amount of water. Too much water can make the paint runny and difficult to apply.
Consistency: The goal is to achieve a creamy, paste-like consistency, not a watery one. This will allow for smooth application and good coverage.
Type of Paint: The method above is generally for solid cake-based face paints. Different types of face paint (e.g., liquid, cream) may require different techniques for wetting. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
