Roxanne Horn talks about Superstar paint



Every time I open a container of Superstar paint it brings me back to when I was a child.
My mother, who painted me and my sister two times a year, always used Superstar paint.
Today I still hear the mothers of the children I paint say that the smell brings back memories.

Superstar nowadays is a global brand and is still made in the same factory by the same people. Sometimes it’s just better not to change a successful formula.

It makes you greedy. Just try and decide for yourself, when you want to buy paint, to only buy max. six colors. You can’t. I bet you decided to buy black, white, red, blue, green, yellow..and okay..pink for the girls. So with a color list in hand you go to the store, but when you arrive you are overwhelmed by more than sixty colors! Not only standard colors, but also metallic’s and what?! metallic with glitter! :O

They have every color you can think of and also colors you didn’t even know existed.. They didn’t, your right.. But Superstar invents their own colors! Ziva for example. And because it’s a color you’ve never seen before, you just have to have it so you can show everyone that you are such a pro face painter, you have an unique-never-seen-before color. ;) 



 
So everybody knows that black is black and white is white, right? But of course Superstar has to break that rule.. They have two blacks and two whites. :/
A normal white for skulls and vampires and a deep white for pretty crisp lines and teardrops.
And of course a normal black for shades and a deep black for tiger stripes and batman.
You might think you don’t need all four..you don’t..but when you do, you don’t want to go back to two. ;)

What’s good to know about Superstar paint is that you don’t need much water to activate the paint and when you apply it it takes only seconds to dry. Because of the deep pigments some colors leave a trace on the skin, but I’ll bet girls don’t mind when you put that pretty raspberry pink on their lips. ;)
Also every color is different, some have a soft substance and others are quit hard. Last but not least, the good thing about Superstar paint is that you can leave the containers open for days and they will not dry out!
