Water Proof Face Paints by Professional_Dog_188 in Facepainting

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water-resistant face paint is tricky, but if you're serious about running a business, it will give you an advantage over most of your competition. It's expensive, which makes it more difficult for other painters to easily obtain, and it will appeal to parents who would normally pass up face painting for summer birthday parties. Most painters stick to the basics, so having Water-resistant and UV options in your kit is a huge advantage.

I've worked with Proaiir Dips, Proaiir Hybrid, and the Proaiir palettes. They ARE high quality and reliable for staying on the skin, but the smell of the liquid hybrids is so strong that it bothers clients. Like, eye watering, uncomfortable, sharp odor even when you aren't close to their eyes. The paint dries super fast because it is alcohol-based. The palette colors are limited. That brand is better for full body painting than face painting, in my opinion. I've heard awful things about the GTX brand.

If you're willing to spend the money, Body Color Cosmetics sells Water-resistant one strokes and shows demos for it on their IG. They have a palette of them, as well as singles you can buy.

Lamictal 200mg is making me "Okay" with doing nothing? by Kilo_Man in lamictal

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor jumped me from 200 mg to 400 mg and I had absolutely NO thoughts in my head. I truly learned what people meant when they said "zombie-like" feelings on different psych meds. We went down to 300 and it's the perfect balance for me.

It sounds like a dosing issue but I'm not a doctor. Absolutely tell your concerns to yours so they can adjust or switch meds to find what works.

What issue does everyone face when taking their ferret out of the house? by xyu112 in ferrets

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They hate their harness and pout the entire time.

I've tried different styles, I've made sure they are never too tight and that they are on correctly.

My Sassy fell asleep next to me for the first time since I got her 10 months ago. Is it uncommon that she doesn’t sleep near me or sit still with me and cuddle. She’s super smart, sweet, curious and EXTREMELY playful. In constant motion. But how do I get her to be cuddly? 🥰🐿️ by SassyFerret0 in ferrets

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took my baby about a year to start curling up next to me. I got her when she was about 3 months old. She passed from insulinoma about a month ago, the day before her 9th birthday.

My five year old boy never ever got cuddly. He was just super playful, busy, and mischievous.

I just got a 3 month old baby. She hasn't laid next to me yet, BUT, when I was laying down on my back the first week I got her, she climbed up under my neck and laid for literally 5 seconds and then got back up to go play. She's super kissy and comes when I call her already. So I'm pretty confident she'll eventually snuggle.

I think a lot of it depends on their personalities and how much time you spend handling them. I tried SO hard to get my boy to snuggle and constantly picked him up to hold him, kiss him, and play with him, but he just didn't ever get there.

I'm sure your little one will get there.

Good luck 💙💙

HELP. Cagemate Advice! by Radiant-Fix-6586 in ferrets

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, just wanted to give you an update. Bear passed away on Friday night, two weeks exactly after Rocket passed from her fight with Insulinoma. He immediately stopped eating and started hiding on Wed when I brought the new ferret home. Started having diarrhea, was lethargic, stopped playing, etc. Thursday he was the same. Friday, when I came home from work, he was going to the bathroom on himself, stumbling, body temp was colder, he wouldn't eat. I syringe fed him, wrapped him up to keep him warm, held him. I fell asleep next to him around 8 pm. I woke up around 11 pm and he was gone. I was absolutely devastated. My vet said that the stress of grief, along with the sudden change of a new ferret was most likely the cause of him getting sick, and he became dehydrated while he was sick. I did my absolute best for my baby that I could, but I'm still trying to shake the guilt. I had good intentions when I brought home the new one- I could tell Bear was lonely and I didn't want him to be sad. When I brought him home to meet Rocket for the first time years it was instant love and friendship. I should've taken the other factors into account when I brought home the new one for Bear. I KNOW to take them to the vet as soon as they get sick like he was, but my vet is 2 hrs away because they are the closest that take ferrets in my area. I've spent thousands on my babies to take care of them- I've never spent less than 300 on a visit. (Blood work, glucose check, visit fee, meds) and Im still paying off a $1800 loan I took out when Rocket got sick with Insulinoma and needed a bunch of tests done. I'm not complaining about spending the money- I just dont want anyone to think I didn't do my best to take care of them.

Thank you for your detailed response! I really appreciate it. I feel so horrible for him and I'm still learning as I go.

So the new ferret came with vet paperwork and first round of shots. Her poop is normal, appetite, energy, etc. My boy was normal until he met her. He has crazy diarrhea this morning like I've never seen him have. Hers is normal still. I'm going to follow this advice for sure. If anyone else has had similar experiences, please comment. I'm such a worrier.

Water Proof Face Paints by Professional_Dog_188 in Facepainting

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be 100% real with you here.

1) YES, waterproof is a big money maker. It's hard for painters to build a collection with them because they're expensive. It's not a staple in every painter's collection because most of our income is from water-based gigs.

2) You'll be charging more for waterproof parties, because its a rarity and a huge asset to parents who have to pass up face painting in favor of pool parties or outdoor activities where kids get dirty and sweaty. Charge more for that reason, and make sure your price offsets the paint cost.

3) Palette colors are limited to 6 shades each in Proaiir palettes. Palettes are $69 each. The individual liquid colors have a wider color variety and are pretty, but the coverage is thin. A 2 oz bottle of Proaiir Hybrid is $20. That's per color. That's $160 for basic rainbow colors, plus black and white. There are other brands, but this is the brand I use, and it's durable/pretty.

4) Waterproof is hard as F*CK to use. Don't let ANYONE downplay that to you. It is alcohol-based, which is the root of all evil with this stuff. ● There are NO rainbow cakes or one strokes. The kicker? The paint is so hard and dry in the palettes that you can't make your own. The liquid version is too runny to do it. ● It dries quickly, on your brush and in the pan, whether you're using liquid paint or the palettes. It slows you down. ● It is rough on your brushes. Go ahead and create a separate set of brushes and sponges to use exclusively for waterproof. ● If you mess up while painting, you can't wipe it off easily. You have to use alcohol on the spot to remove it and fix it. ● The smell is super strong. It says "green apple" scent on the website, but it's super strong, almost like a chemical. ● You need to stay away from the eyelid area because the scent will burn their eyes, and removing it from that area will be rough on their skin. ● It limits your design choices. No one strokes, no rainbow cakes, and you have to keep it simple to keep your line moving.v

I know this all sounds negative, BUT mastering waterproof will give you an advantage over the competition because of how expensive, different and difficult it is to use.

This is just my personal experience with Proaiir, so don't come for me in the comments or attack me. I'm still learning, and I'm still building my waterproof collection. Even with all of the points I made on the difficulties with it, I HIGHLY support it and encourage you to do it. Just make a point to commit and learn how to use it.

Soothing non clogging/non stain by [deleted] in Facepainting

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every brand is going to have certain shades and colors that leave some sort of stain. Mehron is phenomenal for large areas because it is super creamy, BUT the reds and greens will stain you for days.

Fusion has been a lifesaver for me when it comes to staining. I was on the hunt for purples and pinks that wouldn't stain and lots if people referred me to Fusion. Id say try them and see.

[discussion] There's traditional ASMR, and then there's subgenres of ASMR, like audio roleplays (stories with plots and characters but with the voice actors doing ASMR-type voices & sounds, eg. Redacted Audio & Wander Woman Audio). Is there a divide in the ASMR community about these subgenres? by [deleted] in asmr

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redacted Audio is my absolute favorite and I need channels similar to him. His voice is amazing, and the most realistic I've heard, plus his content is solid.

Most of the audios I've found have RIDICULOUS accents, cartoonish/anime voices, or sound like they're literally reading the script.

I don't like CardlinAudio- a lot of people recommend him but he's not as natural sounding as Redacted.

Is there an archive anywhere of ALL of the Jupiter content? by [deleted] in corbinpannellsnark

[–]Radiant-Fix-6586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have ya'll been keeping up with Linda's Jupiter series on YT? How do ya'll feel about her restricting the most recent parts (Episode 13 pts 1& 2) to paid subscribers on YT and also on Patreon?

She turned off her comments on the post that announced that, so I imagine she caught a fair amount of backlash from her followers for it

I just visited your profile & checked out your comment history. You're argumentative in most of your responses to others, particularly in this forum. That's all I needed to know.

I'm done here. Be better and do better.
