are the watercolor pencils safe for facepainting
1954732
Product is made in Germany and labeled "safe for children." They work on skin when using the side rather than the tip. Once dry, image doesn't smear like other face paints I've used.

I can't read what the box says either. However with my experience working with them I can say they are similar to other paint pens out there. I would say they are water base, the paint dries fairly quickly and does wash off with water. As for if they are non toxic or not I can't say (since I can't read what it says) but to be safe I would avoid eating them. Hope this is some help.

Not really. Inktense Pencils are in a class all by themselves and I love them. I have both the pencils and the blocks. When you draw then and add water, with a brush, or paint directly from the blocks , the colors are amazing, truly intense and gorgeous. I've not found anything else like them.

I don't think so, they are good to paint on some kind of papers, like watercolor paper, because they are reactive with water. They are good for paper crafts.

No. I have used Triplus fineliners in watercolors using this property to my advantage. If I want something that won't bleed, I go with the Prismacolor fineliners or Microns. I cannot say that I have tested Stabilos for this, though, you might want to look into that.

No, the pencils come with a plastic sleeve that protects from rubbing. Even without the sleeve, the color doesn't transfer easily to skin or clothing.

there's a few pinks, sepia tones & yellows - not real strong on true flesh colors. Nothing called "flesh" - but they are very mixable & blend-able. I've used them more in my figurative works for highlights & shadows. You can paint a face pink, wet it, then blend with water & a brush, then add in the highlights & shadows in various shades & colors. There's only one real way to find out for sure if you like them. They can also be used with regular watercolors but I think the pencils are easiest & versatile because they can be used dry or wet. When you get to a place in your drawing or painting that you know you want to keep, you can spray it with a clear acrylic matte sealer to "fix" it, then work more on top of it. The only pencil that I found that would work on top of the spray. For me they are a very good value. Try it & have fun! - sea

These pencils do not have microban on them. These pencils are not pre-sharpened. They are premium wood, latex free, non-toxic, and PEFC Certified.

They work moderately well on colored pencil shading, but not as well on hard lines with sharpened colored pencil. The waxier/oilier the colored pencil lead, the worse the eraser works, the chalkier the better. Of course, the eraser is amazing with most all graphite and charcoal.

They are watercolors and therefore water soluble. But usually for an adult the colors go onto paper.and remove with a water brush scrubber adequate for repaint to a different color or leaving blank white I can't say whether or not they will stain clothing. The paints are nice and bright for the money. Good luck.

Sorry, I bought this as a present. That is why I didn't leave feedback. I'm sure the stencils could be used with face paints and I would be pretty disappointed if these glitters weren't made for the delicate skin of children (making it safe for the face too).

I'm afraid I can't be much help to you. I bought it after checking all the pencil sharpeners I could find, the recommendations and details of each. It was for my great grandson who needed one for school work. I know it worked well and he liked it, but am not sure about colored pencils or water color pencils. Sorry.

Not exactly. Some colors are fairly okay with water others are not. Based on my experience I wouldn't venture into watercolors with them. They work fine but they are best kept dry. I use mine for writing in my planner, doodling and sketching or journalIng, never for wet work. Sakura pens would be a better option or prisma liners for watercolor work.

I emailed the company and asked about the paint and they said that they use a non-toxic, water-based paint. If there is any lead present then they would be in violation of safety codes. You might ask the company about third party testing steps that they take if you are concerned about the potential of lead.

They are not waterproof in my experience unfortunately. No idea if they can be used with watercolors but if you're writing on something wet they probably won't do well.

These are not water-based ink, if you want to mix them with water it won't work....But it is perfectly possible to use a paintbrush or the finger in order to hive them a form, a shape, and will not smear, don't worry!

I don't think the core is as soft as a watercolor pencil, I can't speak to a pastel pencil I'be used mine a few times; like them to sketch out my subject since I you can erase if you need to change something before using water of course- I hope this helps
