Horizon Forbidden West: How to Use Face Paint
Applying face paints is the easiest process and our step-by-step guide mentions how to use face paint in Horizon Forbidden West.
Using Face Paint in Horizon Forbidden West
The process of applying unique face paint designs to Aloy’s face is easier said than done. Sure, you do need face paint items in the first place to apply them on the face. However, you can’t just select the item from the main menu and select it to apply. You need a unique NPC called painter, and he is the only one who knows how to use face paint or apply it to Aloy’s face in the first place.
- The process of Face Painting is easier said than done. You need a unique NPC known as the painter, who is the only one who knows how to apply face paint to Aloy’s face.
- Initially, the game will take you to a Big Settlement called Scalding Spear, where you will meet a painter named Zokkah.
- If you have face paint in your Inventory, then the Painter will charge 10 Metal Shards, and if you change your mind, it will cost 1 Metal Shard to remove.
- Most face paints will be unlocked as you do quests and progress throughout the game. There are a few that require you to find them.
- It should be noted that face paints don’t give any strategic advantage in the game.

Finding The Painter
You will find a bow, armor, and other vendors or merchants in almost all settlements throughout Horizon Forbidden West. However, the painter merchant will only be found if you visit a bigger settlement. Just as you come across Tallnecks locations while roaming the open world, the game’s story mode will also take you automatically to a big settlement called Scalding Spear. You will find the first painter who goes by the name Zokkah. He is your guy who has the answer to the question of how to use face paints in Horizon Forbidden West.

We stumbled at two other big settlements where face painters were available to give Aloy nice face paintings, should you have acquired these first. One of the painters can be found in Bulwark settlement, and another can be seen haggling with locals of Thornmarsh settlement.
Getting Aloy Face Paint
Assuming you have at least one face paint in your inventory, then you can get it applied from a face painter at the cost of 10 metal shards. However, should you change your mind, the painter will be more than happy to remove the face paint at the cost of 1 Metal Shard.
Unlocking Face Paints in Horizon Forbidden West
Most of the face paint collection in the game should come naturally to you as you progress the story, side quests, random encounters, or just level up higher. However, a few face paints will require you to go the extra mile and earn them. In any case, acquiring and using face paint on Aloy’s face is cool, but they don’t give you any strategic advantage whatsoever in Horizon Forbidden West. So, wash away your thoughts if you had the idea of wearing Nora paint to show your allegiance and liking towards this tribe more so than any other with the hopes of gaining an edge in certain choices in the game.
Photo Mode Face Paints
If taking Aloy’s photos while wearing face paints is your motive, then there is a much easier way to achieve that without going through the trouble of finding paints and the painter. Use the photo mode and explore the options until you find the face paints. Select the ones that you like better and start taking Aloy’s photos while fancying unique paint designs.
That is pretty much everything you need to know about how to use face paints in Horizon Forbidden West. We are in the process of finding every paint you can get in the game and would love to curate a guide detailing all face paints. However, till then, we hope this how-to guide will serve its purpose.
