Brooklyn, New York – 2020— For immediate release – Stencil1 announced that it has released a new specialty line of stencils for makeup, Stencil1FX™
“I saw some really talented artists and customers using my stencils with body paint and makeup, and it inspired me to see this form of self expression,” says StencilFX™ designer Ed Roth. “We say that our stencils can be used on any surface and skin is no different. In fact, body painting is said to be human’s first art form. It’s ceremonial, spiritual, decorative. It’s using our tools and taking customization to the next level.”
StencilFX™ by Ed Roth is a new line of mylar stencils to be used anywhere on the face and body. It’s about creativity, dressing up or crafting a persona. “In the past, we’ve featured Stencil1 stencils to be used like tattoos,” Roth says, “but until now there hasn’t been anything dedicated specifically for face and body decoration with a splash of glam.”
Roth says that StencilFX™ is about bold colors, fantasy, no rules. “I wanted to hone in on the glam side of it,” he says. “The human form as the ultimate canvas. It’s alive—with shape, texture and movement.”
“As a fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race and Skin Wars as well as an Instagram and YouTube junkie,” Roth says, “I feel like I’ve been focusing on the techniques that those artists use, and as an artist, of course, I soak it up and want to try for myself. Stenciling the face and body is addictive, even if you are just doing it for yourself at home or for social media, creating effects on your face is a fun art. Also, living in Brooklyn, I have a wonderful circle of creative friends, many of whom do makeup for celebrities and editorial, they have inspired me greatly.” Roth also mentioned other influences such as coming of age in 80s club culture and being surrounded by the art of drag. “Growing up in the 80s, all my New Wave favorite artists like Boy George, Eurythmics, Grace Jones, they all painted for the gods, then coming out in the club kid era, I was swimming in inspiration at a young age.”
The collection is launching with 14 designs available in small batches. New designs will be added and some will be dropped off. All Stencil1FX™ stencils are currently made in the USA. Designs are available at Stencil1FX.com and in mid-August will also be on Target.com just in time for Halloween planning.
