FAQ

Being a professional face painter, I use only high-quality, cosmetic-grade face paints specifically designed for use on the skin. The glitters I use are also cosmetic-grade and safe for skin application. The main brands I work with are TAG, Face Paint by BodyFX, Fusion, and Superstar. For a full list of ingredients, please visit the manufacturers’ websites. Most of my supplies come from Auckland-based BodyFx

I can paint kids over 2 years old. Smaller children can have a small design on their arm, hand or leg. I am not able to paint anyone who has a contagious illness, or who has open sores or wounds. Alternatively I can offer small designs on hand.

Also I am not able to paint anyone who is crying or forced to be painted, face painting should be a fun and enjoyable experience.

While allergic reactions are extremely rare, but can occur. I cannot be held responsible if a reaction occurs after the parent or guardian has given their consent.

I only use professional, cosmetic products which are specially designed to the most delicate skin, they are non-toxic. However, if a child has sensitive skin or any skin conditions, that may be aggravated by cosmetics, I do not recommend face painting for them. If desired, I can perform a small patch test on their arm.

While allergic reactions are extremely rare, but can occur. I cannot be held responsible if a reaction occurs after the parent or guardian has given their consent.

These paints are water based. You can remove them with water or a good quality wet wipe. Most of the paints are easy to wash off, however some colours can be a little harder to remove. For these I recommend to use coconut oil/olive oil/make up remover. I recommend to clean the face before going to bed.

However these are safe paints, take extra care not to wash the paint into the eyes. If the paint goes into the eyes, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water. Please see the Safety Data Sheets:  TAG, Fusion Body Art , Powder glitter, Bio-Glitters

You don’t have to supply anything. I provide all my face painting gears, tables and chairs, balloons. I can paint outdoor or indoor. The only thing that I need is a covered place in case of rain, or shaded place in case of sunny, hot days.

Yes, I do balloon twisting and belly painting for baby bumps:)

Balloons are simple and fast designs to avoid long waiting. I offer this entertainment for over 3-4 years old children. Little ones may bite the balloons which is not safe because of the risk of swallowing small parts. As kids will keep their balloons after the party too, it is the parent’s responsibility to make sure children don’t swallow any parts.

Belly painting is a unique way to celebrate the wondeful journey of motherhood! But what is it exactly? – Read more on my Belly Painting section

Depending on the design I can make about 15-20 balloons in half an hour. When you book for balloon twisting it means each child gets one balloon creation! Accidents happen—balloons may need fixing or may pop, and I’m happy to make a replacement. However, the offer is for 1 balloon per child. Sometimes children ask for a second balloon, but if I start making additional balloons, it wouldn’t be fair to the others. Please understand that it’s 1 balloon per child 🙂 If you’d like, you can always book me for a longer session to accommodate more.

Yes, I have public liability insurance to the sum of $1,000,000.
