Horizon Forbidden West: How to Apply Face Paint

Want to give Aloy a new look? Here’s how to use face paint in Horizon Forbidden West.

Horizon Forbidden West has a wide selection of updated costumes for Aloy to decorate herself with, each with their own benefits and effectiveness in the wild. But the customization doesn’t stop there, face paints are available to showcase your aloe as a fearless hunter.

Facepaints in Horizon Forbidden West unlock cosmetics that are often given to Aloy when she completes certain side missions. Face paints also dissolve quite early, although there are no specific instructions on how to wear them.

Luckily, we’ve discussed exactly what you need to do to use the face paints you’ve collected.

To use the types of paint you collect during the game, you need to find a Painter Merchant. Like most traders, they are found in settlements, but only in very specific settlements.

Artists can be seen at Tenakt’s three main locations:

Talking to Painter will give you the ability to use face paints on aloe for as little as 10 metal coins.

Additionally, face paints can be used in the game’s photo mode. If you just want to use face paints to give your game photography a certain twist, this method requires some effort. However, if you want to wear them during a real game, you should visit Painter.
