Hiring a Professional.

Thinking of having a face painting at your party? Its easy, I can do it myself, how hard it can be?

Truth is that face painting has come along way over the years.

Professionals spend hours and hours training. They ensure that they use the proper products, which I can be honest, these are not cheap. They will be insured.

You still might consider using cheap paints. Don't. Cheap paints can not only cause skin irritaions and reactions but also chemical burns to sensitive skin

​

 Painters are offering their services for less money?

What you pay for is what you get. Unfortunately there are many people out there who do facepainting, but it is important to research. Many people think that they can just paint like that, but it is a real industry.  Lower prices will offer less quality products, may not be insured, their paints will be of a lower standard. My prices reflect the industry standard, as in professional standard. 

​

How many children can you paint in an hour

I usually paint between10/15 children and hour. I like to allow 5 minutes per child. More detailed designs will take longer.

​

What are you available for

Face Painting is my main focus, however I am also available for balloon twisting, bubble artistry and having fun with children! As i entertain children individually while painting or balloon twisting, i do not offer games, however am happy to assist with helping run games organised by the host.

What is your sustainability/ impact on the environment

I try to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

Eco friendly cotton tips are used

Mircofibre facewipes are used

Paperless billing

Material net bags are used to place soiled items at the end of the day to later be separated after event.

Bubble wands are refilled and reused

Whist there is some wastage, I try to minimize this as much as possible and am constantly looking at new ways/items that are more environmentally friendly without compromising my high standards.

​

What is your health and hygiene practices

One sponge per child is used. If more paint is required, a separate sponge is used. 

Water is changed frequently, brush bath solution is added to the water prior to the event. Brushes are washed before being reused.

Before and after every event, the kit is completely cleaned

A separate handwashing station is available.
