Simply get in touch via email or WhatsApp with your event date, time, and location. I’ll confirm availability, provide a quote and share my booking form.

The sooner the better! Popular dates can book up months in advance.

I will normally invoice you the week before the party with my bank details. You also have the option to pay by card. Payment is due by the day of the event.
-
We only use professional, hypoallergenic, fragrance free, water based face paints that wash off easily and are EU/FDA approved.
Safety sheets for all paints can be viewed on requests.
-
For most parties I just need space to set up. I bring my own high make up chair with my kit. If the party is in a hall, a table would be great (but not essential).
-
It’s best to be at the heart of the party, in a well lit area. If the party is outside, we should be under shelter from sun/rain/wind. If you have an entertainer position us near to the entertainer either behind where the children will sit or to the side so it is easy to continue painting.

I hold full Public Liability Insurance. A copy of my insurance will be shared on request.
-
On average, I paint 10 children per hour. The designs that I share on my social media are examples of on-the-job designs. For the best possible experience for the children I prefer to be able to chat a little and make them feel comfortable.
For larger parties, I recommend booking extra time or can offer quick designs, but they will have much less detail and not be possible to paint to my usual standards.
This is why it’s good for me to know the numbers in advance.
-
We recommend removing face paint with liquid soap or a gentle cleanser. Gentle massage a small amount into the paint and wipe off, then rinse. This helps lift the face paint off.
We do not recommend using wet wipes as it can push the paint into the skin.
-
Certain colours, like black, blues and greens are more stubborn than others. Use a little olive oil or oil based cleanser, massage into the area and wipe clean. This will remove any residue.
