As you can see, testing it out with the sponge will give you the most accurate test of what the colors will look like in a split cake.  Once you have the colors you would like to use figured out, you are ready to begin!!   Hope you had a great time reading my article and that you learned something new!  if you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message on the forum or create a post so that everyone can help you out!   **Here is a helpful link to the face paint forum's FAQ section with lots of information about split cakes and making your own** http://www.facepaintforum.com/t2582-split-cakes TAG 1-Stroke: Leaf Yellow   TAG 1-Stroke: Unicorn   Here is my ALL TIME FAVORITE Unicorn!  To do this I used DFX White and TAG one stroke NEON.  I got this beautiful design from a very talented artist Lisa Willow Oakley and you can see her youtube tutorial at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbU3-rx0CQ     We will never share, rent or sell your personal information to third parties.
