What products do you use?

Do face paints stain?
Generally, no, most face paints do not stain, but some colours are highly pigmented, and if the subject has a dryer skin texture, there may be some staining or residue left behind. If this happens makeup remover or baby oil on a cotton wool pad is a great way to solve the problem
Is face painting safe for all ages?
Face paints are very safe , although we do not face paint children under 2 years old
We follow strict hygiene standards:
Clean brushes and sponges for every face paint. We sanitise all our equipment between events
What if my child has sensitive skin?
We understand skin sensitivities. All our products are dermatologically tested. If you are concerned, ask our face painter to do a patch test on the arm first. Let us know in advance if your child has allergies or skin concerns.
How do I remove the face paint?
Warm water and a cloth!
You can also use water and a gentle soap or a baby wipe if you do not have access to water
You don’t need to scrub your face – gently wipe it with a soft cloth.
How long does it take per child?
