*Longevity depends greatly on the location painted/glittered and how oily your skin is.  Areas with more friction will wear away first.

 

All products are skin safe!  I only use professional paints, body glue and cosmetic glitter.  Gems are attached using body glue or medical tape. I NEVER use craft paint, craft glue or craft glitter.

Why hire a professional?

I have many years of experience and have painted thousands of faces. I use only high quality paints and equipment. I practice painting almost everyday,with so many hours of practice I am able to paint at a reasonable speed, which is what you need for little ones who don’t like sitting still for too long, it also means I am able to get through more faces. I also carry liability insurance.

What kind of paints do you use?

All the paints I use are professional high quality FDA Compliant cosmetic grade paints, designed for use on the skin. The most common brands of cake paint currently in my kit are TAG and Fusion.  I also use Superstar, Cameleon, Global, Starblend, Diamond FX,Silly Farm, Kryvaline, Kryolan, Face Paints Australia and BenNye.  All of my airbrush paints are ProAiir paints from Show Of Body Arts.  All glitter is approved for cosmetic use and is safe around the eyes.

 

 

What is/are bling and horns?

Bling and Horns are fun ways to embellish your face paint, or to wear on their own.  Horns are made from a lightweight clay.  Bling is a cluster of craft gems.  Both are held on with body glue or medical grade tape - the same stuff they use to hold on wigs and surgical drapes.  I make all the bling and horns by hand.

How many faces can you paint in one hour?

1 hour of face painting - 8-12 faces

1 hour of quick faces (large events only - 100+ faces) - 20-30 faces

1 hour of glitter tattoos - approximately 20 tattoos

How far in advance should I book you?

I recommend booking as soon as you start planning your event.  I get booked up rather quickly in the summer, winter is much more flexible.

How do I remove the paint or glitter tattoo?

Paint Removal - Soften the paint using a mild soap, liquid soap like baby shampoo or liquid face soap work great, the paint will look muddy.  Wipe away with a dark wash cloth.  It is not uncommon for dark colors to stain, a skin safe oil will help remove any stains.  

Chunky Glitter - PRIOR to removing the paint gently use the edge of a credit card to flake the glitter into the garbage.

Gem Adhesive - Use a makeup remover or a skin safe oil.

Glitter Tattoos - Rubbing alcohol or a skin safe oil.
