- What do you think, have you used either before, do let me know in the comments, both are linked in my Amazon shop below xx.
Also check out Tindalls online UK, they might do a better price especially if you are only after 1 or 2 pots, thank you Susan for the tip xx.

I’m sticking to my own Bobby Brown blush and eyeshadow in my cosmetics drawer. An art teacher gave me that tip.
Beautifully demonstrated Philippa, thank you. 💕💕🙏
I too use makeup. Large variety of blushes & eyeshadows. That said, I'm always looking for ways to make improvements.
Just had a try with some eyeshadow, a very good alternative xx
Definitely good to know as Panpastels are very expensive xx
Thank you for sharing that tip!
I'll have to try that. I need a certain shade of blue for a character in a video game and I might even have it somewhere already. (I buy crazy eyeshadow colours when I come across them on sale, but since covid modelling has not picked up again, so I don't create flamboyant looks anymore. Good to know I can try some cool things with what i have lying around.)
Yes, you can definitely use all sorts, just have a quick test out first xx
Thanks for sharing, they seem very effective 😊. I look forward to seeing how you use them on your creations. I am persuaded 😄😂xxx
Yes, I really enjoyed them, they will definitely be used on some long fur, an expensive but good addition to my tool kit xx
I’ve been looking at those pan pastels for a while, but for art play, not felting. Now you’ve given me another justification for investing in them! Thanks for trying them out and sharing, Pippa!
That's good, sorry if watching my channel incurs expenses! 😄, I am definitely very pleased with them x
@@feltsbyphilippa 🤣
Thank you for this wonderful demonstration of this product. I loved it, and ordered a set from Amazon.
Hope you like them, thanks so much ❣️
This is very interesting! I have lots of Panpastel colors for my painting and now I can use them on my wool too! I heard about using makeup but I don't have them🙄. Thanks for the experiment! 🥰💜
Pan pastels seem to be the best so that's perfect that you have them, thanks for watching ❣️ x
I bought a set of these based on Cindy-Lou's recommendation as well bur I have yet to try them out so this video suits me perfectly. They work very well. Thanks for sharing.
Definitely worth trying, they are great for around eyes and long fur xx
Thank you Philippa I appreciate your sharing - really helps a beginner!
No problem, that's why I am here 🙂xx
The owl looks great, can't wait for the tutorial!
Me too!!! 💕💕💕
Thanks, it's next on my list to do xx
Great video! Just what I needed during my afternoon slump at work…of course now I want to spend all the money I’ve earned today on pan pastels, thanks very much 😂
Thanks, definitely possible to try cheaper alternatives but the pan pastels are great quality, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
Very interesting Pippa, thanks for sharing x
Always fun to try new things xx
A lovely set do like the effect it makes plus stores easily given me ideas to use it with tapestry work maybe ❤😊
They are a great set, I will definitely be using them, thanks for watching ❣️
with the chalk pastels I always use a little razor to shave some pigment onto a paper, this way you can also mix shades if you only have a handful of chalks. :) Then I use a brush to apply it. I sometimes make a bunch of one color and put into little color containers, especially brown and pink shades I use for a lot of. I do a lot of felted human portraits so the shading is super good for blushing up the skin and making it look more alive. I dont find my felted items finished until ive added the chalk pastel shading!
That's so interesting to hear, I was really unsure of whether I liked the idea before I tried them but I now think they are great and just add that finishing touch, like you say, thanks so much ❣️ x
@@feltsbyphilippa Definitely! I was very excited to see you cover the technique too, I find that it saves quite a bit of money since you dont have to get wool in all different colors for shading only. I also havent thought about sealing in the color before, seeing that it didnt cause any significant flammability ill most likely start doing that!
Love your videos! ❤
brilliant noe i know what to use mine for . looking forward to more tutorials and seeing you use them . thank you Phillipa x
No problem, glad you liked it xx
You've inspired me to start felting! So far I've made a small owl.
It's very addictive! Thank you.
Yes, it's definitely addictive, glad you are enjoying it 😀 xx
That's amazing to hear! I hope your future felts will bring you a lot of joy!
Thank you for this information Phillipa it is really effective and looks so easy when you do it. 🥰 x
Yes, it applied really well but they are expensive, I will definitely use them though, thanks for watching ❣️ xx
I've always wondered about these! Thanks Pippa, good to know they are as good as people say x
Yes, very good quality just expensive! Xx
Really interesting video thanks for sharing. Going to chech out what colours they do. Feeling excited 😃
And you can mix colours too so a black and white also gives you a grey, they are definitely expensive but I am pleased with the effect xx
The pastel powder looks so effective, but for the price, I will wait untill I sell more projects, ha ha. Thankyou for showing us though, so interesting to see. X
Yes, they are very expensive, I have waited quite a while before finally ordering them, cheaper alternatives are out there but definitely not an essential item xx
Wow these pastels are so cool, going to have to invest in a set. thanks for the video!
I really like them, very pricey so just get essential colours really xx
Pan Pastels are an amazing investment. I've used them for non-felting uses for years. I've never had to repurchase colours, and they're high quality, smooth, and good opacity. I use makeup brushes for them!
Excellent, always good to hear, I think they are great quality too xx
Really interesting video. The pastels are much more effective than I thought they might be
Yes, I wasn't sure if I liked the idea of adding colour but I've been adding it in ears and on noses, so far so good, thanks Nicola xx
What a great video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much ❣️
I tried something similar to this in one of my videos a while ago (Pokémon Koraidon). I had some chalk pastels, scrapped some powder off them and used the powder to 'paint' the creature's feathers. A tip I learned from school is pastels can be sealed with a light coat of hairspray. The pastels in your video sound great but very expensive. I've also bought some cheap make-up powder that I want to experiment with at some point.
These ones were recommended in Cindy Lou Thompson book. I tried some make up shades but it didn't apply nearly as well. A lovely subscriber explained that pan pastels are pure pigment with no binder which can be found in pastels and make up. This makes them easier to apply and blendable. They definitely are expensive as I mentioned in the video xx
Nice video I also use pastels/ eyeshadows which do seem to add a bit of colour I use that spatula that you have there and those small foamy things you'll find are sleeves that go on the plastic spatula you can wash them and re use a few times but be careful cos they can split when putting on the spatula
Oh OK, I had no idea they went onto the spatula, great tip, thanks so much ❣️ x
Looks great. I have ordered an animal set.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Pippa! At least in the US, Faber Castell has chalk pastels, which I'm assuming would be much better for felts than the oil ones. I used to use the chalk ones to put blush on dolls that I used to paint. I'd just use an X-acto knife to scrape off a little of it so that it was a powder, then dip my brush into it. Sometimes you could even just rub your brush on the sticks and it would pick up color. I haven't tried it on wool, but I think it'd be really similar to the pan pastels, but much less expensive.
Yes definitely, I think if you can get it on a brush that makes it much easier to apply and if cheaper then definitely worth a try xx
I should have started with some pastels, I started using marker for my recent felt, and it has made the wool shrink up and stick together! You’ve convinced me to switch to pastels-I don’t think it’s too late for the rest of it. Thank you 😊
What kind of wood did you use for the longer felting? I am sorry if I missed it!!
Hi, it's cheviot tops from World of wool, a lovely soft wool. The pastels have worked well and are very easy to apply, definitely worth a try xx
As always another great blog, Philippa! Small question, did you not get a separate pan containing Sofft applicators that fit over the hard palette applicator? I got those with my set and I guess you can buy them separately as they wear out over time. I am in California so distribution may be different. I also noticed that the panpastels are more finely milled than my other pastels so they seem to go on like butter in comparison.
Hi, yes, I did get some sponge applicators with my set and I believe Panpastels are expensive because of that exact reason, they have no binding agent in them I believe xx
Hi all, I've seen some use watercolours too. When might you use watercolour and when pastels ?
Hi, I've not seen watercolours be used, that would be lovely to watch, do you know where you saw it, thanks x
Did I miss the fixative part?? What did you use to keep them in place and has it lasted? I'm really considering ordering these as I am having some issue getting the shading I want with wool and think these would be great.
I didn't use any fixative and it's all still in place as my items don't get handled much, you could experiment with some fixatives if needed though but I don't want my felts to be flammable as I sell them x
What's flammable about the fixative is what the can needs to "push" the spray out. That chemical evaporates into the air seconds after it leaves the can.
If you would spray it into a flame it would go "woosh" but the flammable thing is gone right after it leaves the can so it is NOT on whatever you spray it on.
Still: please keep your makes away from flames, guys ;)
(I learned that from watching Anti Multi Level Marketing content, because some of the salespeople try experiments like spraying competitors products into a flame to show how much better their product is because it's not as flammable.)
That's so good to hear, I was worried it would go whoosh up, thanks so much for explaining it all xx
I was wondering if maybe instead of oil pastels if soft pastels would work better? They're a cheaper option compared to pan pastels and could be crushed and painted on with a brush. Has anyone tried this yet?
The pan pastels are dry so not oily but you can definitely use chalk pastels or makeup which are much cheaper xx
Hi Phillipa! I have a question. I use chalk pastels on my felt animals but sometimes I wonder if with time they may go away because of time or Sun exposure. So I was looking for a way to fix that and make pastels last longer, do you have any tips? Or do you know any fixative that I can use? Thanks in advance!
Only the one I showed in the video but because of it being flammable I wouldn't use it on items I sell xx
Does it smear or transfer onto your skin if you handle it?
Yes - exactly the same question from me please :) great video!! ❤
This is also my question 😇. I am looking for a nice way to add a little blush to my needle felted fairies. Does the pan pastel stay on the wool, or does it transfer to your skin?
Popped the answer in my shorts video xx
Just tried it in my shorts video 🙂xx
@@feltsbyphilippa fantastic, thank you - popping over there now ❤️
Panpastels are expensive, but chalk pastels do much the same job, but much cheaper!
Yes absolutely, thanks for watching xx
Why does it say "Do not breathe in the powders"??? Would they still be safe then for playing with the finished product?
The powders should not be inhaled at all, there is a warning on the box. Felted items are definitely not for children either so once on your creation it wouldn't be disturbed.
Do you think eye shadow would do the same job has pan pastels
It should be fairly similar, the pan pastels are super smooth but very expensive so try the eye shadows first on a scrap piece maybe and see how they go xx
@@feltsbyphilippa thank you,I love all your tutorials you are a great inspiration xx
Do you think pan pastel or chalk pastel better? Haven't bought it yet can't decide.
Chalk pastels are so much cheaper so if pan pastels are too much then go for chalk xx
@@feltsbyphilippai see, will the result be the same?
The chalk pastels will need to be ground down, I only tried make up as a test, it worked OK, other people in the comments have found chalk to work OK x
@@feltsbyphilippa oh, alright, thanks for sharing it with me 🙂 if you have chalk pastel, I hope I can see the comparison in your video too 🙂
I’ve also seen people use makeup. My dilemma is if you use makeup or pastels on your felting art are you compromising your work by this addition. I don’t know. What do you think?
There is no right or wrong way for needle felting, there are ways to make it easier though. This video below shows a lady (who has sadly passed away) and her art work is out of this world, so I think it helps with your question x
ua-cam.com/video/eCq75qMMivA/v-deo.html
@@feltsbyphilippa thank you! She was a beautiful artist! I guess you would consider it mixed media.
I wonder if soft pastels would work?
Yes definitely, you would probably have to scrape some off and use a brush to apply x
@@feltsbyphilippa I've been playing with them, and love the results, and YaY! Not expensive 🤗
Won't it rub off , or fade. Or smear?
It will fade if you rub it lots but seeing as felts are quite delicate and shouldn't be handled loads it's fine. Fading tests would be different but if a professional felter like Cindy Lou Thompson uses them then I think long term they are good x
Although I am not a felter, I knit and crochet projects, brush and then trim them. It produces a lovely fur and It is as close to felting as I can get. I have used Pan Pastels, Soft Pastels, Oil Pastels, acrylic paints and eyeshadow.
Eyeshadow that is more expensive seems to be more highly pigmented , which is a close second to Pan Pastels. Oil Pastels from what I have read, never will completely dry so painters will often apply a fixative. I just use several very light applications of hair spray, applied about 30 minutes apart. Reason being the fur is easily disturbed unless this is done. My projects, like felting are not meant to be handled, but this does help keep the fur in place. From what I have read, hair spray is acceptable but I am not a pro so am only going by what I have read.
Of them all, I prefer the acrylic paints or the pan pastels. The pan pastels are so highly pigmented that you do not need a lot and last a long time. Just be aware, they are soft so you will get some fallout. The acrylic paints work well but I always dilute down and build up, much like certain makeup applications. These are longer lasting but there is a bit of a learning curve.
Great video. I learn a lot from you felters!

Can you not just use pastels like sennelier?
I’d like to answer this question, if it’s okay. No, you can’t. First of all, it’s much more difficult to reach certain places with a pastelstick, especially as in needlefelting you will use the panpastels in shadow areas, which are usually lowered (and often small). You’ll probably get pastel where you don’t want it. Alternatively, you could try pastel pencils, if only for a line or a small area, they’ll probably do a a bit of a better job. However, both pastelpencils and pastelsticks contain a binder, to keep them together, while panpastel is purely compressed pigment and contains no binder. This difference makes the panpastels so easy to apply and so easy to mix, and more like a paint than a pencil or stick. Also, it makes them much brighter than pastelpencils or pastelsticks, so more standing out. Personally, if you want to try pastels on your needlefelting, I would invest in a few panpastels. In the end you will probably buy them anyway. For economic reasons, it’s good to know that they mix very easyly, being it straight on your work or mixed upfront in a tint or shade you like on a piece of cardboard, and that the complete range of panpastels consists of only 20 solid colours (mass-tints) and that the other colours are tints (i.e. mass colour mixed with white) or shades (mass colour mixed with black). You could consider to buy a black and a white and 1 or 2 other colours (mass-colours!) and mix a huge range of tints and shades. The mass colours all end on .5 (f.i. Hansa yellow is 220.5).
@tanjavandenbroek5898 would the binder cause a problem? I was thinking if you ground quality pastels such as sennelier which don't have much binding, that would do the same job, especially if you use a fixative too?
Thank you so much for such a great response, I am still new to them so this is all good to know. I tested make up in my shorts this morning and it was not good, the Panpastels are excellent quality so thanks for explaining why. I checked out their website and you explained it the best, a big thank you ❣️xx
Hope this is voice-over. Wear mask so you don't inhale pastels.
Definitely a voice over xx
