Boxing Day Test face paint is one of the easiest ways to make the biggest day of the Australian cricket summer feel like a proper occasion. Whether you’ve got tickets to the MCG, you’re watching with the family after Christmas lunch or you’re setting up the backyard stumps, a few stripes of green and gold show everyone who you’re cheering for. FANBRUSH® makes it simple, with no brushes, sponges or water cups to pack.
Why FANBRUSH® Is Made for Boxing Day Test Face Paint
FANBRUSH® has been bringing team colours to fans since 2004. Every applicator is made in France with all-natural ingredients, and the multi-line tip lays down neat, even stripes of colour in one smooth sweep. It’s easy to use, so the kids can help paint each other and the grown-ups can get creative too.
Each applicator gives you 100 applications, or 6 metres of face paint, so one applicator can cover the whole family on Boxing Day and still be ready for the rest of the summer. FANBRUSH® is officially licensed by Cricket Australia, and you can shop online here or find our applicators at Rebel Sport.
Green and Gold Looks for the Boxing Day Test
The FANBRUSH® Australia cricket applicator in green and gold is the go-to for Boxing Day. Here are a few easy looks to try:
- The classic cheek stripes. One sweep under each eye is simple, bold and looks great in the crowd photos.
- The forehead band. A single stripe across the forehead sits nicely under a hat or cap.
- The full cheek. Go over the same spot two or three times for a bigger patch of colour. The kids love this one.
- The scoreboard. Use the corner of the applicator to add a small “AUS” or a little cricket bat next to your stripes.
Visiting fans are welcome too. Our cricket face paint range includes colours for India, England, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka and the West Indies, so every supporter at the ground or around the TV can wear their colours.
How to Apply Your Face Paint on Boxing Day Morning
- Start with clean, dry skin. Colour goes on brightest and most evenly on a dry face.
- Hold the applicator flat. Rest the multi-line tip on the skin so every colour touches at once.
- Sweep in one direction. A single smooth stroke gives the neatest stripes. Go over it again for bolder colour.
- Add the details. Use the edge of the applicator for letters, numbers or small shapes.
- Pop the cap back on. Keeping the cap on between uses keeps your applicator ready for the next session.
Packing for a Day at the Test
A Test match day is long, so a little planning helps everyone enjoy it:
- Bring the applicator with you. It’s small enough for a pocket or a bum bag, so you can touch up your colours at lunch or tea.
- Keep it in the shade. Store your applicator in your bag or the cooler bag rather than leaving it on a hot seat.
- Share it around. With 100 applications per applicator, there’s plenty for your family, your mates and the fans in the next row.
- Check the ground’s rules. Have a look at what the venue allows in bags before you head off.
A Stocking Filler That’s Ready for Boxing Day
Because the Boxing Day Test starts the day after Christmas, a FANBRUSH® applicator makes a perfect stocking filler for the cricket lover in your family. It’s a gift they can open on Christmas morning and wear to the cricket the very next day. Order early so your applicators arrive well before Christmas, and add one for every fan in the house.
