FAQs

I'm a professionally trained face painter with a passion for creating beautiful and unique designs. My training at the International Face Painting school ensures that my work is of the highest quality and adheres to all global hygiene and sanitation guidelines. With a background in early childhood education and two young children of my own, I understand the importance of creating a fun and safe experience for kids. I'm experienced with working with children with disabilities and neurodiversity. I'm dedicated to continuous learning and improvement, regularly practicing new techniques and attending professional courses to stay up-to-date with the latest trends. 

I also make my own party bling that is adhered with medical-grade, double-sided tape and adds a unique touch to my face paints. I create 3D unicorn horns, monster horns, butterfly and mermaid embellishments that kids go crazy for! This is included in the price for parties of less than 20 people. 

In September 2024, after graduating from the International Face Painting School as a Professional Face Painting Artist, I changed my pricing model to offer Party Packages instead of hourly pricing. 

This allows me to provide the highest quality of service at every event, ensuring that both you, your guests and I feel the full joy of face painting! 

From mid-November until the end of December my minimum booking time is 2 hours given the high demand period. 

You can read all of my booking conditions over on my Bookings Page and my Pricing. 

We require a deposit to secure your booking and ensure that we can allocate our time and resources accordingly. As a face painter, we often have multiple bookings and need to plan our schedule in advance. When you cancel, we may miss out on other potential clients who could have booked that time slot.

Here's why our deposit policy is in place:

• Limited Availability: During peak seasons like December, face painters are in high demand. By securing your booking with a deposit, you're ensuring that we can hold that date exclusively for you.

• Lost Income: If you cancel, we may have turned down other bookings based on your reservation. This can result in lost income, especially during busy periods.

• Bad Weather: In case of bad weather, it's the client's responsibility to have a backup plan. While we cannot guarantee a rescheduled date, we will do our best to accommodate you if possible.

When will I receive a refund?

• Cancellation Due to Sickness: If WE need to cancel due to illness, we may be able to reschedule your booking or we will offer a full refund. If the client needs to cancel due to sickness a refund may be offered depending on circumstances.

Please note: In December we have a 50% non-refundable deposit policy in place to protect our business and ensure fair practices for all clients. 

Absolutely! While I specialise in children's face painting, I can also provide face painting for a variety of other events, such as corporate functions, festivals, and special occasions. I actually LOVE painting adults. I'm especially interested in gorey Halloween face painting using special effects and lots of fake blood. But I am equally as excited to turn up to your wedding or baby shower and paint beautiful delicate flowers. I have recently started to offer baby bump maternity paintings as well. 

Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific needs. 

While I love face painting all ages, I generally do not face paint children under 3 years old. This is because young children may not have the fully developed motor skills or patience required to sit still for a prolonged period. Additionally, their skin is more sensitive and prone to reaction. Professional face painting brands also recommend using their products on over 3s only. 

No! I offer baby bump maternity painting, some body painting, special FX and I offer party plaits, tie in hair braiding and glitter tattoos. 

Party plaits are colourful braided hair that can be easily attached to children with hair at shoulder length or longer. These braids are reuseable and a great addition to face paitinging as a special treat for the birthday girl. 

I also offer glitter tattoos which are a fantastic addition to your face painting or in place of face painting if you are having a pool party. Glitter tattoos are waterproof and last 3-5 days when cared for. They are easily removed with oil. 

I normally don’t post photos of my own children on social media, and that’s never been an issue until now…

Now, I have a business as a face painter who primarily paints children, including my own. And as a business owner, I obviously want to showcase my work and increase my social footprint to find new clients (and to show off what I can do on the job!)

But, I’ve not been feeling 100% about putting photos with kids online despite obtaining permission to do so. As once photos are online that’s them out there forever. And that’s kind of scary!

So, with no judgement at all to others, I made the decision to go through my socials and remove a lot of my previous on-the-job photos and replace them with non- or less-identifying photos that still showcase my work but keep an element of privacy for my young customers. 

While face painting may seem like a simple activity, it involves a significant investment of time and resources. I use only the highest quality, FDA-approved face paints from professional suppliers, ensuring the safety and longevity of the designs. This means they cost a lot more than what you will see advertised on TEMU or the likes. The cheap paints you see online are not FDA approved and have not been tested to the extent of professional paints hence adverse reactions may be more likely. 

Additionally, I spend countless hours running my business, upskilling, planning party menus, and learning new techniques to provide you with a unique and memorable experience. Investing in professional courses and equipment also contributes to the overall cost. 

I only use high-quality, FDA-approved face paints from reputable suppliers. These paints are specifically designed for face painting and are safe for children's skin. They are also long-lasting and vibrant, ensuring that your child's design looks amazing throughout the event. You can find out more on my product page. 

Other than a sheltered space out of direct sun, rain or wind gusts, I can set up pretty much anywhere that is on flat ground. 

I have a 1.2m long camping table that I use and a tall makeup chair for kids to sit in. I bring and dispose of my own water. I am happy to use a tall (dining room height) table or benchtop of yours but require a minimum of 1mx60cm of table space. 

It helps to put me out of the way of direct traffic so my table isn't being knocked and risking damage to my equipment. More information is provided in my terms set out on my Booking Page.
