Paintstick

Face painting can be done with paintsticks. The face paint shows up in a character's features, but it does not replace any of the character's features. A face painting can be worn even when a person is wearing blush on the cheeks, warpaint on the face, and a temporary henna tattoo on the face, all at the same time. A face painting can be worn with nail polish or other things that occupy the character's unique feature line.
