A Pretty, Professional Looking Set-Up
When people walk up to your
area, they must immediately see you
are a pro. That means many things.
Your attire, your set-up, your
mannerisms. Of those, the easiest to
give a professional enhancement to is
your workspace: your containers,
brushes, paints and table should all be
orderly and clean. As you reach for a
tool, they should never see you
hunting, fumbling and searching. You
should be able to confidently and
swiftly reach for what you want. Imagine if your surgeon kept looking at his tools muttering,
“Hhmmm, where the heck is that thingy I wanted? I am pretty sure I brought it.” Not
confidence inspiring.
To keep mine looking nice, every so often I …

Lilly’s Set-Up
In my last book I told you about the various ways face
artists like to use theirs tools. Some do one sponge per
customer for cleanliness, others do one sponge per color for
speed. Others hate sponges, and only use brushes. Everyone is
different. I do a bit of each: sponges, brushes, smoothies,
paints and pressed powders.
All of my materials, except my comfy chair, fit into the
folding crate to the left. Notice I painted the top to make it
more party friendly. If the venue is short on chairs, the box is
strong enough that I can use it for my customers to sit on.
I have all of my supplies in 6 containers inside the
crate: brushes, jewels, powders, paints, sponges, and the misc. stuff. In addition to those six
containers I carry…
Black Tablecloths and Washcloths
Using black looks classy, professional and appears more sanitary: it hides paint spills
and smudges.
When I pack my set-up, the tablecloths are on top, as they need to go down first.
I use black wash cloth to pull excess water from the brushes and clean brushes if
needed. They hide the dirt as well.
If I have three events in a day, I bring three sets of the table and washcloths, so I am
starting clean each time.
When I go home, I wash them in warm water, and a cup of vinegar. Vinegar is an
antibacterial and an antifungal. It helps keep fabric color fast, so it keeps my black items from
fading. Also, vinegar is used as an agent to freshen the smell of fabric, carpets and clothing that
has been ‘stinky.’ So, my fabrics smell very fresh and clean. I don’t want to use any scented
substances because of the allergic reaction some people have to them.

You can be a great hero at face painting if you can
put a few curly lines, dots and a bit of glitter in the
right place. The devil is in the details. Plunking
down a dot, or a line does not seem that hard.
Knowing when and where to put them, that is hard.
More important, these simple strokes, when well
done, are the difference in a good and great face
painter.
I am not much of an artist. If I try to actually
draw a face it is pretty sad. But, I can take the face
God gave you and do some neat embellishments
that make my customers think I am great artiste!
The truth is it takes very little skill to be at the level
of the faces on this page. But it does take practice.
Once you get the hang of the strokes, you can …
