From idea to finished product

From idea to finished product. This is what the Fusion Body Art palette looked like when we designed it. We hand cut and tested dozens of combinations until we came up with the final color combos, and send that image along with an Excel file to Fusion Body Art so they could have it produced.

A look behind the scenes at creating Face Painting Products

This is what the process behind the scenes looks like when we are creating new products.

Fusion hasls pitched the idea of a split cake and solid colors large palette to us, but we wanted more, and the team at Fusion is always ready to face the challenge.

So, we got our crafty minds thinking and decided we wanted to add brushes and sponges and make it a kit.

We tried playing with some design tools to show Fusion how we wanted the product packaged, but in the end, a cutter, cardboard, and some clear plastic was the way to go to show them the concept.

A few months later, we have the Fusion Body Art Pro Kit on our shelves.

Would you like to see more behind-the-scenes images of what goes on when we design products? Leave a comment below saying 'behind the scenes'.

Professional Face Painters have always asked us for a ready to go professional size face painting kit. One that can be used for small events, traveling, or even for conventions.

Beginner face painters needed a good starter kit that was larger than the small kits that are designed mostly to test the waters, one that had all of the basic colors, split cakes, stencils and good brushes and sponges, professional quality tools.

Fusion Body Art and Jest Paint helped designed the Pro Face Paint Kit which is great both for Professional face painters on the go, and for beginner face painters wanting to start big!

Checkout this new Fusion Body Art kit at our store and let us know what you think!

We run Jest Paint — here’s what it actually is (and why we built it)

Hi, I am Santi, one of the owners of Jest Paint, and I figured I’d explain what it actually is, because from the outside it can look like just another online store.

Jest Paint is a specialized shop focused entirely on face and body painting. We’ve been around since 2009, and it all started organically — not as a “let’s build an eCommerce business” idea, but out of real-world face painting work.

My wife, Anna, is a professional face painter and instructor, and originally she was selling products directly to her students and other artists. Over time, that turned into a proper store as more people started asking where to get reliable, safe products.

That background matters, because we didn’t build this as resellers chasing trends — we built it as users of the products.

What we actually do (beyond just selling stuff)
We focus on curating face and body art supplies — paints, brushes, stencils, glitter, kits, etc. But the key difference vs marketplaces is that we don’t just list everything.

We try to:

  • Only carry cosmetic-grade, skin-safe products (when applicable)
  • Work with brands we trust and have tested
  • Avoid the low-quality / unclear-ingredient products that are far too common in this space

We also design some of our own products (especially stencils and tools), based on what working artists actually need.

Who it’s for
It’s a mix, honestly:

  • Professional face painters
  • Beginners just getting started
  • Cosplayers and makeup artists
  • Parents organizing parties

We try our best to make it accessible to everyone, providing clear product descriptions, free tutorials and even business advice.

The part people don’t always see
A big part of what we do isn’t product sales.

We’ve spent years building:

  • Tutorials and guides
  • Product comparisons
  • Safety information
  • Business advice for face painters

That came directly from the same problem: people buying the wrong products or not knowing how to use them safely because there wasn't enough information out there. When we started this business most stores focused on sales, but they had little to no information on product safety, proper ways to use them or what standards they were supposed to meet.

What we care about
A few things we try to stay consistent on:

  • Safety first — especially with products used on skin
  • Transparency — ingredients, performance, realistic expectations
  • Actually helping artists improve — not just selling to them
  • Long-term trust over quick sales

Scale
We’ve grown into one of the largest multi-brand face paint stores world-wide, and most of our growth has come from repeat customers, but we did so while keeping a small business like operation, where customers can have direct contact with the owners and real humans take care of your order and customer service.
