The brushes they supply with these kits are the same ones you might use to paint on a canvas, yikes!\n\nFor their body paint kit, they provide you with a sponge applicator, but they\u2019re a terrible mix. The sponges soak up most of the paint. And because the paint itself is not opaque enough at one application, multiple coats are necessary. I\u2019ve also noticed that these sponge brushes can leave the makeup application streaky. All around, these products are <em>bad<\/em>.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Character_Makeup_Kits\"><\/span>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Character Makeup Kits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nLastly, one of the most common makeup products you\u2019ll find at novelty stores this time of year are also ones you want to be wary of. I have tried several \u201ccharacter makeup kits\u201d such as Doll Makeup, Skeleton, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/10\/4-updated-classic-halloween-looks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zombie<\/a> by the brand FunWorld, but what you see is not what you get.\n\nThe images on the packaging of these makeup kits show vivid makeup and realistic special FX transfers and prosthetics. But the eyeshadow and lipsticks provided in these makeup kits are anything but vivid or pigmented. On most occasions, they have a faint but less-than-appealing scent to them.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;38293&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]Likewise, the transfers or prosthetics provided in these kits only come in one basic skin tone.
