Wolfe Makeup comes fully prepared for you.  There is no need to add anything to it.  To start using it, just open it up, dip your sponge or brush into a SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER and go!

When working with a sponge, if you can squeeze water out of your sponge, you have too much water in it!  Try dabbing out the excess water on a dry paper towel.  Also, containing the water to the very edge of the sponge prevents the makeup from working its way up into the sponge, so it can't dirty your hands.

The typical, white, triangle wedge makeup sponges DO NOT work with our makeup.  They are for creams and oil based makeup.  Try our Makeup Sponges! 

Compared to most makeup, this makeup dries faster, is harder to smear, and holds detail and color longer than most water activated makeup.  This makeup, like all water activated makeup is not water proof!

IMPORTANT!  Makeup will take on the properties of other makeup if mixed with them, meaning this might affect its resistance to smearing!

Cracks may form in the cakes.  These cracks have no effect on the makeup, it is simply the paraffin wax in the makeup expanding and contracting.

Colors can be layered or blended on top of each other.

Like all makeup, some darker colors, on some people, may temporary leave a bit of residue on the skin for a few hours after washing.  This depends on how long the makeup is worn.

Wolfe makeup can be removed from its original packaging and repacked into different containers. 

Red based makeup should not be used around the eyes. 

Do not apply to broken or irritated skin.

To maximize the performance do not mix with other brands.

Stipple colors evenly to achieve a smoother blend.

To do subtle shading,  do not rewet your sponge.  

Do not leave sponges or brushes in the cakes!  Thoroughly wash all sponges and brushes when done.

To keep your brushes looking nice and clean, try cleaning them with "The Masters" ® Brush Cleaner and Preserver©

When working with Wolf makeup crayons, to prevent design from smudging or transferring to clothing, sprinkle a small amount of baby powder on a pad, brush or tissue.  Gently pat or blot design until lightly coated.  Gently brushing the design with a dry makeup brush will bring back color brightness.

To remove Wolfe makeup, use soap and water, or Wet Ones® brand moist wipes.

The FDA recommends that "Don't decorate your face with things that aren't intended for your skin. Like soap, some things are OK on your skin, but not in your eyes. Some face paint or other makeup may say on the label that it is not for use near the eyes. Believe this, even if the label has a picture of people wearing it near their eyes. Be careful to keep makeup from getting into your eyes. Even products intended for use near your eyes can sometimes irritate your skin if you use too much. If you're decorating your skin with something you've never used before, you might try a dab of it on your arm for a couple of days to check for an allergic reaction BEFORE you put it on your face. This is an especially smart thing to do if you tend to have allergies."

Contrary to what other make-up companys may tell you, THE FDA DOES NOT APPROVE COSMETICS (click here to go to the fda.gov web site to read for yourself).  Under section 721 of the FD&C ACT, the US Government provides a list of approved ingredients and color additives that must be used.  Wolfe Face Art & FX has spent thousands of hours testing, reformulating, and cross checking this list, with our ingredients, to insure that they are the highest quality possible.  All of our colors are on this list, as well as the EU approved color list.  Wolfe strongly suggests that all artists, face painters, parents, and stores read the labels of the products they buy and do their own research to make themselves more aware.   Chances are, if a makeup company is telling you their products are "FDA approved", then they are not aware of what the law really is, and they could contain harmful ingredients!  The FDA does conduct random tests on shipments being imported by cosmetic manufacturers, and Wolfe has undergone dozens of these tests, over the years, and passed each and every one of them.
