When you are transforming your child into a fairy, a tiger a zombie or a pirate, some of the considerations you may want is a product that is easy to apply, has good colour and coverage. However, you should also carefully consider and be concerned with the things that you can’t see. What exactly is in the product? Is it safe to use on sensitive young skin?  As of July 2013 a new global standard for face paint safety, called the EN71-3, was introduced via the Toys Safety Directive. Basically, this standard and testing ensures that the level of toxic materials used in the manufacture of these are limited to safe levels in a range of products sold for children including face paints. 

Harmful ingredients have long been regulated in paint for children’s products, but these new regulations now require even lower levels and extend to more than just paint and toys. The new EN71-3 standard is in addition to previous cosmetic standards enforced in Australia and internationally for any product used on skin. 

All Derivan Face & Body Paint products have passed these new conditions set by the EN71-3 so when you use Derivan Face and Body Paints products, you can be certain that not only are you using a quality Australian made range, but also one that is manufactured to the highest most recent national and international safety standards. 

You also benefit from our expertise making the finest professional artist-quality acrylics in the Matisse range. Our face paint range is likewise full of bright, vibrant colours with superior coverage, that dry quickly and wash off easily in warm soapy water.

Use Derivan Face & Body supporter sticks to paint the face and body, avoid eyes, mouth, nasal passages and broken skin. Do not use if you suffer from skin allergies. Remove with soap & water. Suitable clothing should be worn as staining may occur.

Derivan Fake Blood can be applied with fingers, sponges and cotton swabs, or squirted directly from the bottle. If applying over make-up conduct a small test patch on the back of your hand and check the result is to your satisfaction. It can also be used as a prop for blood bags, hypodermic syringes, medical tubes and the like.

When trying to create a realistic dried blood effect, consider the role of gravity in your application. Fake Blood will flow in a different direction if applied to a thigh when the subject is sitting down as opposed to standing up, which is worth considering if your effect to be appropriate for a particular situation. For example, if your subject is lying on the road, the fake blood should be applied while the subject is lying down. However, if your subject has an arm injury but keeps on walking then the blood should be applied to the arm while standing up.

For a splattered effect, pour the fake blood into a bowl. Dip you fingers in and “flick” the blood onto the surface.

Single light application of Derivan Fake Blood provides a good base to build realistic-looking seeping blood. Allow the first layer to dry before adding small pools of blood, and manipulate these with your finger as they dry. This creates a buildup of red colour that simulates a wound effectively.  A hairdryer used on a medium or low setting will assist with the drying process. 

Fake Blood is compatible with Derivan Face and Body Paint and looks particularly realistic applied over a layer of white Face and Body Paint for a gory ghouly effect! 

To simulate small cuts such as those received running through a dense foliage, apply Fake Blood with a small flat synthetic brush. Load the brush with fake blood and apply to the skin with a quick sideways movement before allowing to dry. If creating multiple small cuts in a specific area, allow each cut to dry before placing another one over it.

The caps on the 500ml and 2L sizes have a built in nozzle for controlled pouring onto fabric.

To minimise any staining on surrounding floor coverings and furniture, we recommend using a clothes hanger hooked over a washing line outside. Apply the blood as required and allow to dry.

Lightly applied to skin, this product will dry within an hour. Fake blood on fabric can dry in under an hour if placed outside in direct sunlight. A hairdryer used on either a medium or low setting will speed this process. Using a higher setting may cause the product to move under the increased air pressure. 

Drying time for both skin and fabric will depend upon the quantity of product used and the prevailing weather conditions.

DO NOT use in mouth, eyes and ears. If contact occurs rinse immediately in cold water. Not suitable for use on animals. If Ingested drink plenty of water and seek medical attention.

Avoid using in confined areas to minimise accidental contact with surfaces and floor coverings. If using large quantities, applying outside is recommended.

To remove any stain from clothes, machine wash in hot water on a heavy-duty setting. Commercial stain removal soaking/spray products may also help. Repeated washing may be required.

Fake blood can also leave a temporary stain on the skin that may require repeated washing to remove. If the discolouration is particularly persistent, add a couple of teaspoons of sugar to your handwash before rubbing the stain gently.
