How to Erase Face Paint

Erase by Selecting It from the Clothing Tab in Your Pockets

Erase 1

1 Press X to open your pocket/inventory.
2 Select the clothing tab (beside your Bells).
3 Select the custom design to remove it.

You can erase face paint by simply opening up your pockets and finding the clothing tab. From there, select the face paint, and choose to erase it. This can be done anywhere where you can open up your inventory!

Can Also be Done by Choosing to “Change it Up”

Erase 2

You can also erase face paint by going to a mirror/dresser, and using the “change it up” function. If you were planning on changing up some other features of your character, such as hair and face, use this method to take care of several physical appearance changes in one go!
