Des matières de toutes sortes sont utilisées, depuis les produits de beauté conventionnels jusqu'à la peinture à l'eau ou à l'huile, la craie et le noir à charbon, sans oublier les petites étoiles dorées comme détail final. Selon Jean-Guy Maltais du Service des loisirs de la Ville de Hull, «peinture faciale» peut convenir bien que «maquillage» soit encore le terme utilisé. D'une vogue répandue mais nouvelle, cette activité adoptera peut-être bientôt une désignation qui lui est propre. 1, record 11, French, - peinture%20faciale
