I've seen henna take on faces..... regular fresh henna looks a bit
like mercurichrome stains, though. Facial skin is thin and oily ...
not much callousing. I don't offer henna on faces much, as orange
isn't all that favored hereabouts.

Pre-made pastes give a nice brown henna stain, but when Zimra had me
do a Turkic pattern up her chest, throat and chin ... the chest and
throat were fine but the face stung fierce from the oils! Faces are
very tender!

My first choice for facial work is Maybelline Waterproof Ultraliner,
or Temptu outline black. They're SAFE. Safe is good.

Because harquus patterns are closely related with parallel
applications in tattoo, various recipes for a black (or colored) face
paint, khidab, and henna, I group them together. The choice of media
varies with the occasion ... many other things. Its really a very
complex subject, and one I absolutely adore!

If there were a harquus forum, I'd be on it every day!
