How to be an Eco-friendly face painter

It does seem that the world has gone mad with consumerism! Our industry is heavily dependent on consumption, so this week we want to talk about being an eco-conscious company and how you can be more sustainable in this industry.

The earth suffers from the over-extraction of resources that results from our continued rapid consumption, which is why making an effort to be more eco-friendly is important.

Consumption reduction results in reduced waste, trash in the ocean, and plastics in our drinking water.

Let us begin with the most basic process: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

1. Reduce

We know that once you have bought equipment and you have a kit you like..let’s face it you probably tried and tested a few products that you don’t use or need in your kit. So our advice is to find what you like and stick to that, try not to buy unnecessary products that don’t add value to your kit, for example, one too many mesh bags for sponges, brushes, bags pots etc.

2. Reuse

Choosing products we can safely reuse is a terrific alternative when it comes to our purchases. For example, reuse your palettes, pots, lids when they are empty.

Use reusable cloths and sponges rather than single-use ones. reusing cleaned split cakes to carry bling in or bio-glitter balms, or to manufacture fresh split cakes.

We recently shared videos on how we reuse our paints and split cakes online: check out our socials Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, Youtube and Pinterest.

Reusing it will help us cut down on the quantity we throw in the trash.

3. Recycle

When we do decide to discard, we make sure recyclable plastics are thoroughly cleaned before recycling.
