Did you know that ancient Egyptians used face paint for ceremonies, and they probably used clay and minerals—which are way harder to wash off? You’ve got it easy compared to Cleopatra. Also, the world’s largest face-painting festival is in Germany’s Fasching carnival, where entire streets look like a rainbow exploded.
Another gem: most face paints today are water-based and non-toxic, which means they’re designed to come off skin—and clothes—with relative ease. That’s a plus for your wardrobe and your conscience.
