Need some ideas for your Christmas wish list? Here are some gifts any face painter would love to unwrap.

The holiday season is the perfect time to treat yourself to those must-have goodies that make a face painter’s life easier, brighter, and more creative! Whether you’re a full-time professional or just love painting for fun, here are some fantastic items to add to your Christmas wish list this year.

1. A Fresh Set of Face Paints

Nothing feels better than cracking open a brand-new palette of vibrant colours! Whether you’re loyal to brands or like to shop around, a fresh set of paints can spark new inspiration. If you mainly use flat colours, try adding some more shimmer colours to your collection.
Wish list idea: A rainbow split cake collection or a custom palette filled with your favourite shades

2. High-Quality Brushes

Good brushes make all the difference. Over time, they lose their shape and snap – so Christmas is the perfect excuse for a refresh. And what about a brush wallet to keep them organised!
Wish list idea: the Juliet Eve Collection – a sublime collection of essential brushes for the discerning face painter, each handpicked by me. Find out more here.

3. Glitter and Shimmer

‘Tis the season to sparkle! Biodegradable glitter and shimmer powders add that extra magic to every festive design.
Wish list idea: A biodegradable glitter set (you can never have too much glitter – as long as it’s biodegradable, of course!)

4. Cleaning & Hygiene Essentials

Okay, it’s not the most glamorous gift, but it’s definitely useful! Stocking up on sponges, brush soap, reuseables wipes and sanitizing spray keeps your kit clean and professional.
Wish list idea: A gentle brush cleaner or a bundle of petal and dauber sponges in fresh colours – and of course, some FAM Club Swipes – available here!

5. The Ultimate Face Painting Kit Bag

If your supplies are starting to outgrow your old case, it might be time for an upgrade. Look for a craft case full of compartments, a custom-painted kit box or even a suitcase to keep everything neat and easy to transport.
Wish list idea: A portable workstation with adjustable trays and compartments

6. Lighting & Setup Gear

Winter gigs mean darker days and twinkly (but dim!) Christmas lights. A portable ring light, clip-on lamp, or even a folding table lamp can make your setup easier and your work shine. You need one small enough to live permanently in your kit bag – so useful for those adult club nights when you’re tucked away in a dark corner!
Wish list idea: A rechargeable LED ring light for clear, even lighting at every event

7. Marketing Magic

Why not use the holidays to invest in your business? Professional branding can really make you stand out.
Wish list idea: A mini photo backdrop for client photos, a custom banner, or even a voucher for professional logo design or business cards

8. Cosy Comforts for Winter Events

Outdoor Christmas markets can get chilly! Stay warm and stylish while you paint.
Wish list idea: Fingerless gloves, a heated vest, foam mats to insulate your feet, or a travel mug for hot chocolate during long event days

‍9. Training & Inspiration

Learning new techniques and designs is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
Wish list idea: FAM Club membership, of course! Weekly live classes, a huge catalogue of recorded classes with me and top guest instructors, plus a supportive community to help you to grow – find out more here

10. A Little Self-Care

After a season of parties, gigs, and glitter galore, don’t forget you deserve a treat too.
Wish list idea: A spa gift card, some scented candles, or a cosy night in – because happy painters make beautiful art!

And remember – Facade Academy has gift vouchers in various denominations, which can be used towards masterclasses, merchandise or FAM Club membership.

Whether you’re hinting to friends and family or gifting yourself, your Christmas wish list can be full of items that make your art shine, your kit sparkle, and your business grow. So grab a mug of cocoa, write that list, and get ready for a colourful new year!
