Introducing the latest member of the edding squad! To ensure that the major footballing event of 2006 doesn’t just go to your head, but is also reflected on your face, the marker maker from Ahrensburg has scored a brilliant success with the debut appearance of its first ever make-up pen: the edding 47 face painter. With its seven different coloured inks - all neatly slotted together - this dermatalogically tested professional has all the right qualifications to ensure that fans of “the beautiful game” also look beautiful themselves!

On the face of it, it is clear who - quite literally - will be giving the German footballing event of 2006 a face: the fans! And they can do so using the new make-up pen from edding. Be it cheeks, nose or forehead, thanks to the new edding 47 face painter, not only will football-crazy fans be able to paint favourite national flags of virtually all countries right across their faces in a matter of moments, they will also be able to adorn their heads with declarations of love for their favourite players in seconds. And all those who really do have football on the brain the whole time can now at least make themselves look like one!

Black, red, blue, green, yellow, orange and white: these are the seven individual colours (each with a stroke width of 2-4 mm), that, together, make up the new edding Facepainter. More shades can be created simply by mixing the existing face-paint colours – all you need to do is apply one on top of the other. Blue and yellow, for example, will quickly transform into turquoise.

And if fans should accidentally go “offside” when painting with their pen? Again, no problem. These brilliant make-up inks can be washed off most textiles in next to no time. And one more “home advantage”: after the match is over, these works of art can easily be removed with soap and water, ensuring your skin is as clean as it was before the match began.

These skin-friendly inks not only comply with the EU Cosmetics Directive, but also meet the requirements for toys and have been awarded the CE mark. The edding 47 face painter, complete with its seven colours, is already available in the shops: RRP € 3.95.
