Onestroke face painting is one of the most popular and versatile techniques in the industry. With a single loaded brush, you can create butterflies, flowers, tigers and rainbows in seconds. But to get the best results, you need the right paints — and the right palette.
The Best Paints for Onestroke
Not all face paints are created equal when it comes to one stroke designs. You need paints that are smooth, vibrant and easy to load onto a brush. Sally-Ann Lynch uses Partyxplosion, Superstar, Face Paints Australia and Diamond FX in her bespoke palettes — all of which are widely regarded as some of the best onestroke paints on the market.
Why the Palette Matters
The palette you use can make a huge difference to your one stroke results. A shallow, well-organised palette allows you to load your brush quickly and evenly, giving you cleaner, more vibrant strokes. The water-resistant foam in Sally-Ann's bespoke palettes is perfect for this — it holds the paint in place, protects it from drying out, and makes loading your brush a dream.
Less Waste, Better Results
One of the biggest advantages of a bespoke palette over individual onestrokes is the reduction in waste. With individual pots, paint can dry out around the edges while you're working. With a bespoke palette, the shallower paint depth means less waste and an easier, more consistent load every time.
The One Stroke Palettes to Try
Sally-Ann's range includes a wide variety of one stroke palettes. The Whimsical and Incandescent palettes are firm favourites, while the Colourful One and All The Colours offer stunning versatility. For maximum colour options in one compact palette, the Double Sided Onestroke No. 1 and Double Sided Onestroke No. 2 are particularly popular with one stroke artists.
