There are a lot of different paint options to consider, but the best thing to keep in mind is your skin type. The most popular and easy-to-use paints are water-based since all you need is water to activate them. You can use alcohol-based paints if you want a more realistic effect, but they can be irritating on sensitive skin (and are not as beginner-friendly). Then, there are cream paints. While creams are pigmented and easy to use, many don't like them because they move around a lot and are hard to set, especially if you have oily skin.
