You can search on the internet about the recommended brands or better yet, ask friends who have done face painting before about brands and supplies that they can recommend.

Paint is one of the basic supplies you will need. Before you go out to buy face paints, make sure you've already researched about the best brand. Doing this would make it easier for you in choosing the paints you will need. Water-based face paint is more advisable to use since it is easier to remove. Face paint has so many colors available and also different types of paint. You can go out and purchase face paint with glitters, metallic colored face paint and just the ordinary colors. Be sure you get as many colors as possible. Make sure that before you pay for the paints you purchased, you'd already checked if the label says face paint and not acrylic or oil based paint. Of all the face painting supplies needed, this is the most important of all.
Face painting supplies also include brushes. Different size of brushes are needed to make different designs. Choose among different sizes of brush and make sure that you will pick the ones with the finest quality. It’s better to invest in brushes if you plan to do face painting again. Don't forget that you will only get what you pay for. There are some who like using sponges than brushes when putting different paint colors. If you're going to do huge applications of paint, using a couple of sponges is the best way.
Paint and brushes are just the two basic supplies you will need for face painting. Be sure you have face painting designs available for the kids to choose from.
