Yes, I have used the FAB. I like how it sprays and seems to need less shaking than graftobian. Also has a nice apple smell!

I love my ZeroG (but then I haven't really used anything else, so I don't have it much to compare it to). With all the festivals I do, I just love the simplicity and compactness of the set-up & the accessibility & ease to use so many colors & to be able to go back/forth from water based makeup (for faces) & alcohol based (for tats).

All I have ever read is DO NOT use alcohol based makeup/paints on the face. On rare occasion I may do it on an adult, but not before educating them on the differences first. I use VIBE & ENDURA. Only other I used was Trendy Tribal paints, but they seemed thick (that was before I got the ZG). I know Donna Nowak uses Graftobian, but that just seems a bit expensive. I guess I haven't noticed a problem with the VIBE as some of you all have described. Maybe the ppl aren't around long enough to know if there is one or not, but I haven't had that problem come up yet. I'm curious what your exact issues are.

Only issues I've had with the EBA paints are the Endura Silver & the Red. I don't know if it's just that particular bottle or if the colors over all seem very watery. My Red Endura takes forever to dry when all my other Endura colors dry nearly instantly. The Silver doesn't seem to pop on other colors as much as I've heard others say or as much as I thought it would. LUV the Met Lavender, Met Green & Gold though.

So, using a Power Pallet, what is the best ink to use for Stencil Eyes Face Painting? I would like to stay away from the hybrids for cleanup purposes so I am thinking Vibe?

I use vibe, but everytime I clean the pp it clogs on me. So what I do is change lines at the start of the year and make sure I use it every week if only to make the colors work. I have not tried cleaning the lines with water then alcohol, but just using alcohol has not worked for me.

Vibe is a water-based paint, you are not suppose to use alcohol or it will gum up the lines.
