These are exactly as pictured. They're just like the temporary tattoos that we used to find in Cracker Jacks boxes. We plan to use these to complete our skeleton costumes. We experimented with them ahead of time to understand application and removal, so plan for mistakes. Give yourself about 90 minutes to apply this to your face or someone else's face. Yes, you can apply a thin coat of white face paint. I recommend water-based face paint, which you can find in your local store's Halloween section, local party stores, arts & crafts supply stores, and seasonal pop-up stores. I don't think these tattoos will stick well to oil-based/grease paint. Do yourself a favor and buy a cheap foundation brush to apply the face paint. You can get one for under $3 made by a cheap make-up brand with 2 w's in its name. Other supplies that'll come in handy -- eyeshadow brush (for painting black around your eyes), contour brush (for shading to create the skull shape in cheek and temple hollows), fine-tip brush, black eyeshadow, and black eyeliner . These tattoos won't stick to your eyebrows. The top of the eye piece will need to go above your eyebrow, but you may want to buy a glue stick to paste your eyebrows down and keep them out of the way before you paint your face white. You'll need to cut out individual pieces and apply one piece at a time to your face. Cut the eye pieces in half for easier application, and be sure to cut away the inner white section from the eye pieces for easier placement. Keep all your face pieces on the counter in the same order they were attached to the sheet or take a photo of the sheet before you start cutting. Plan the placement of each piece on your face before you begin. Tips:- Paste your eyebrows down with glue stick, if desired.- Paint your face white with foundation brush dipped in water. Allow to dry completely.- Remove clear plastic lining and apply 1 piece at a time to face. Wet the white backing with a Q-tip to avoid disrupting your face paint. When the white back begins to slide around (20 - 30 seconds), remove it. Add more water to the white backing as necessary to attach the tattoo to your face.- When finished, line your eyes with black eyeliner, and then use black face paint to fill in the rest of the area between your eyelids and the eye tattoo (the more black eyeliner that you use, the less face paint you'll have near your eyes).- You can try using the nose tattoo or just color in the tip of your nose with black eyeliner.- Use eyeliner to draw teeth on your lips.- Use black eyeshadow and contour brush to shade the hollows of your temple, cheeks, top of your forehead near hairline, jawline, sides of your nose, anywhere you need it to complete the skull look.Important for removal -- if you apply to bare skin, rather than a light coating of white face paint, the tattoos will be harder to remove, and you'll have to scrub your face more. The light coating of white face paint does make application a bit more difficult, but seems to make removal a bit easier. For removal, use a Q-tip to apply oil to the tattoos (baby oil, canola oil, olive oil, any will do). Let the oil soak for several minutes. Use a make-up removal towelette (or sacrifice a wash cloth) to wipe the tattoos off. You may have to repeat this process 1 or 2 more times to get stubborn tattoos off. Be patient. Apply the oil. Let soak. Wipe. Wash and moisturize your face. Have fun! Read more

They worked great! They're a little difficult to apply around the eyes, but once they're on, they stay put. I applied them at around 4 a.m., and when I got home for work at 5 p.m., they looked exactly the same as when I'd applied them. They were a little bit difficult to remove. Baby oil, gentle scrubbing, and patience got them off eventually. Read more

The styling options are very cool and plentiful; however, buyer beware! My husband, daughter and I all wore these for a halloween party and our skin was truly damaged in the process of attempting to remove these tattoos from our faces! I have a scab on my nose and dry, rough patches in other places on my face, and my daughter has scratches on her cheek and little pieces of black tattoo still left there! These are way too hard to remove on delicate facial skin. We used my oil-based facial cleanser, a make up remover, soap and water with a wash cloth, and they were still very difficult to get off. We won't be wearing these on the other occasions when we'll be dressed in our dia de los muertos costumes this year! Using face paint instead. Read more

Buy these! We were so happy. Our whole did our faces with these. There were options for smaller and larger face sizes. They applied easily within 15 seconds. My year daughter applied several to my face no problem. I put the eye circles right over my eyebrows and then some over my lips. They stayed on well. Read more

We were hesitant to use the for fear of difficulty in removing or breaking out. We intended the children to use them, however every adult was having a blast with them. High definition color, easy application, and removed with simple soap and water. No skin irritations. Excellent product if like myself you are not skilled at applying theatrical makeup. Read more

Easy to apply but almost impossible to remove. We tried multiple products to get them off. As there were no instructions Included for removal. My granddaughters face is so red from trying to get them off. So glad we did a trial run and only applied a couple as I will be returning. You practically destroy your face trying to remove. Don’t buy! Read more

Did not work and was difficult to try to place on face. I the cut and peel and press sounded so easy but the would not transfer. Dissapointedwas hoping it was going to work due to all the different designs. I was going to give one to everyone and have a face decorating party prior to the actual party. Ended up going to part city Read more
