Don't feel bad. You tried. I do that all the time myself just to see what I would look like with a full set of facial hair and sideburns but I use a eyebrow pencil my mom gave me to do it. Only reason I accepted any type of makeup from her, is so I could do that. XD

Make up remover and seabond toner/cleanser helps remove face paint.  ;)

General experience with facepaint: if soap & water aren't cutting it, some basic skin cream/vaseline might help shift it - put a generous amount on, leave it for as long as you can and then try washing again.

The question is...so how do you look with a beard?? :)

Same as Grace.

Good Lord man, most of the women here stick on a bra and pack it to see what they would look like with boobs, so what's wrong with a guy painting on a beard?

it was more funny than anything to me because i felt like such a goof ball.

"washable" face paint...epic LOL

I recently had a similar experience, but mine involved a toddler smearing neon colors around haphazardly. Good thing I'd cancelled my plans that night.

paint the rest of your face?   At least that way it won't look like you were attempting a beard... they might think you have some other issues though.

see, if I tried that I have the perfect excuse - I do LARP so I could just say I was testing out Drow/Dark-elf kit as a costume idea.
Or practicing stage-makeup (which is actually pretty much the truth if you think about it).

In fact, I'm now struck by the fact that nobody HAS ever caught me with the remnants of facepaint test-drives still visible, which seems statistically unlikely.

HAHA, Good job getting it off! I have been wondering like MAD what I would look like and all I have around is permanent marker.... (didn't think that would do well either)
