- We want to see original and creative work with excellent technical skill: i.e. good blending, crisp and varied line work, good colour choices and balanced features.
- As we are looking for faces which display skilled brush and sponge face painting, using water-based face paints, the use of powders and cream paints for blending is not permitted.
- You may use pearls, metallics, glitter, gems, and stencils as long as they are used sparingly and do not dominate the design, we will still need to be able to see the key skills.
- Eight faces are to be submitted.
- Six of the faces are compulsory. (see below)
- Two should be original designs of your own choice.
- At least three of these should demonstrate sponge blending with separate colours NOT blending from split cakes.

- Four other faces can be within 20 minutes each.
2 free-choice faces can be of any duration. - Please state how many minutes each face took on the application form.

- We require 3 photos of each design. One photo of the front of the face, one of the left and one of the right.
- Please make sure photos are supplied in as high res as possible, if the res is too low and can’t be zoomed in on, or if it is blurry/ out of focus you will be asked to submit more photographs before your application can be considered.
- Photos must not be altered or ‘photoshopped’ in any way.

After Submission
Your application will be checked and your faces will be assessed by a panel purely on the photos and without any knowledge of the applicant.
You will then be informed of the decision as soon as possible but please remember that FACE is run by volunteers so please bear with us.
If for any reason you do not succeed this time, then you will have 6 months to re-apply without having to pay the fee again.
If you have any questions you can please contact
Good luck
