Paintglow is a popular SFX makeup brand that is a favourite for party-goers, ravers, and fancy dress fans. The bright colours and easy-to-use products will help you to level up your makeup look and add some funky colour to your aesthetic. Experiment with creative makeup designs or stick to classic Halloween styles such as dripping vampire blood or spiderwebs. We have got you covered with everything from UV paint to fake blood.

When it comes to Paintglow UV products, you will need a UV blacklight to make the makeup glow. The Paintglow range does not glow in the dark so it will not spontaneously glow. UV activated products require special lighting but often you will find UV blacklights at raves and parties or you can get your own UV torch or light for photoshoots.

Here are our most popular product ranges of Paintglow:

• Paintglow UV Body Paint - UV body paint is activated under UV blacklight to give stunning glowing effects, perfect for parties. Under normal light, you can enjoy a bright and colourful pigment.
• Paintglow Neon Body Paint - If your motto is the brighter the better when it comes to your makeup then you will love the Paintglow neon body paint with a rainbow of vibrant colours available. Choose from the brightest shades of orange, blue, pink, purple, green and more.
• Paintglow UV Lipstick - Make sure your lips aren’t left out of the party vibes with crazy lipstick colours available, including neon shades and classic Halloween colours such as black, red and white.
• Paintglow Paint Stick - This handy no-mess paint stick looks like a giant pencil and contains a neon or Halloween colour pigment that can be built up or blended on your skin for your next creative or SFX makeup idea.
• Paintglow Fake Blood - Paintglow has several types of fake blood but the most popular is their tube of fake blood that can be smeared and smudged to create gory effects. They also make fake blood sprays that are perfect for adding to your body, clothes, or props. Fake blood products may cause staining so take care when using them.

How to use Paintglow?

Most Paintglow products can be applied directly to the skin and do not require water activation. For example, the Paintglow Face and Body Paint can create pigmented results on its own. The highly pigmented products can be built up in layers, particularly the paint sticks and lipsticks; blend them together to create gorgeous makeup designs and enjoy the vibrant colours available. You can choose from our range of Halloween colours or neon colours to create the perfect makeup look.

Before you use any Paintglow products, it is important to carry out a patch test. Apply a small amount of product to your arm and wait for 24-48 hours in case of a reaction. This type of patch test is advised for any makeup product.
