Any ideas how to seal facepaint overnight?

[lucysmam]

So that dd2 can keep it on for tomorrow?

There’s an amazing make up stay spray but not something that’s easy to get unless you have a local friend with some?

Hairspray?

I'd say hair spray too.

Daisy no, I don't think so. Hairspray seems like it might be worth a go!

Hang on, what? You’re going to spray your DC’s face with hairspray? Is that safe?

I would try a make up setter. certainly wouldn’t be spraying anyones face with hairspray.

Do not spray hairspray on the face.

Car paint like kenny in Phoenix Nights?

I regularly use hairspray to set makeup, it’s absolutely fine. Just use lots of it (assuming DC doesn’t have very sensitive skin and since they already have it painted I doubt that) and put on pillow cases you aren’t fond of just in case

Why? Can’t you just do it again tomorrow?

I think apart from anything else it would be terrifically bad for the skin. It’s not like regular make up.

I absolutely would not leave face paint on overnight. It makes my ds’ Skin and eyes very sore. It will run into her eyes if she rubs them in the night.

A light spray of hair spray as a one off won't do any damage.

Its going to make a hell of a mess on her pillow.

Face paint isn’t meant to last overnight.

Mouthful it's a little pumpkin on her cheek, not a whole face! No way would I be thinking about leaving a whole face on overnight.

She decided she couldn't be bothered to try and keep it so it's off & we'll see about doing it again in the morning.

MN gets hysterical over some daft things.
Glad you've sorted it LucysMam

No one is getting hysterical.
The op asked a question and others replied with their opinions.
That’s not hysteria, it’s a conversation.
