super easy to use, goes on very smooth. My favorite part is it stays all day (if they don't go rubbing it!) but with a baby wipe it cleans off super super easy.  I was even able to use the brushes that came with it fairly well. (yes tinier brushes would help, but not needed.) I have never face painted anything above a school paw print before but I got this kit for my son just for fun, and so far I have painted a dragon, a rainbow, a full face butterfly, and a full face tiger and the paint doesnt even look dented. It was easy enough that I could do it on a 4 and 5 yr old in very little time.  I like the fact that even though my lines may not be perfect the paint is easy to work with and get it to look great.  I hope to get a bigger set maybe with screw on lids...that is the only complaint I have (but for the cost I knew what I was getting) is that you have to place tiny plastic saran wrap circles over the paint (that it comes with) to help prevent drying out--it hasn't shown any signs of it drying out but I wouldn't want to leave off the plastic and it means you can't throw away the box as that's what it is stored in.  I know it was designed more for the one time "party" use so I didn't dock it in my rating.  I was really really surprised with the quality of this paint for the cost.
