However, we have a number of face painters and entertainers  to take the other bookings  so please do not hesitate to contact us.

Do you take last minute booking?
Yes we do accommodate last-minute bookings

How much does it cost to hire you for a party?
It depends on many factors: date, day of the week, venue, number of children, type of event etc, so it is difficult to provide a quotation until I have a bit more information.

At what kind of events do you paint?

  • Halloween events and individual app makeup
  • fund raisers
  • family reunions
  • holiday theme parties
  • hen and stag parties
  • weddings
  • christenings

​
How many children can you paint at a party?
I can paint approximately 10 to 15  faces full face paint per hour, ideally around 22 for a two-hour party. This is approximately three to six minutes per child. This ensures that each child feels they have special attention. Although this can vary depending the complexity of the designs chosen.

Is the face paint easy to clean off?
Yes the face paint I use is water based and can removed with water and a mild soap . Occasionally some of the colours will leave a light stain which requires a second lathering scrub. Stubborn stains can be removed with baby oil or coconut oil .

What ages do you paint?
There’s no upper age limit, but we do not recommend applying face paint to children under the age of 3 years. Small children often cannot sit still for long or could move without warning, which could lead to paint entering the child’s eyes or mouth (or they may scratch the paint off and put it in their mouths).Children under 3 they can have painting on arms or hand. All children must be accompanied by a responsible adult .I will paint children  if they are happy and willing to be painted.

Do I need to provide anything?
For face painting I required bright lights if performing indoor or at night out , 1 table and 2 chair & overhead cover for outdoor events

Will you paint outdoors?
I will only paint outside if there is a marquee/gazebo provided  to protect   myself and my equipment from rain, sun, wind. ect..

Do you have Public Liability Insurance?
Yes. I hold PLI and also DBS

Are your artists & entertainers  insured?
All of our artists have their own public liability insurance; copies are available on request.

Photography
I may, occasionally, ask permission to take a picture of the faces I paint. I may display pictures on my website ,  social networking sites, and use them for advertising my business . I will not take a picture of any child without adult consent. 

Do you advertise at my event ?
​Unless you specifically request that we do not, then we would like to be able to promote our services while we attend your event. This means that we may have business cards / leaflets / posters available.

What supplies do you use ?
I only use high quality professional cosmetic grade face paints, glitters and accessories. I only use products that are specifically made for use on skin and FDA approved .Brands I  use are: Superstar , Diamond FX, Global , TAG, and Silly Farm.

How long I can leave face painting on ?
​Face paint should always be washed off before going to bed.

 How long glitter tattoo last ?
The cosmetic grade body glue used for glitter tattoos should last for up to a week depending on how well they are looked after and where they are placed. The glue is waterproof so it will survive baths, shower and swimming!

 How to take off glitter tattoos ?
In order to remove glitter tattoo glue from your skin it is best to use alcohol as that will help break down the glue faster. If you don’t have alcohol, you can soak the glue area with baby oil or lotion, wait a few minutes and then use a gentle sponge and some soap to slowly remove it.

 How long glitter tattoos last ?
Glitter tattoos can last from 3 -7 days if treated with care .Glitter tattoos are waterproof .

What are glitter tattoos made of?
Glitter Tattoos are a form of long lasting temporary tattoos for kids and adults, created by using a stencil template design, body glue and sparkly coloured glitters, making a sparkly temporary tattoo for anybody who loves tattoos and glitter!

Can you provide risk assessments?
