Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see images of your work?

All images are on our Facebook page, Online Catalogue and Website.

Are your paints safe?

Yes. All the paints we use are FDA APPROVED, hypoallergenic, high quality cosmetics imported from the US and Europe. They are water based therefore wipes off easily with a wet wipe or soap and water. If identified prior on sensitive skin,, a test for allergic reaction will be performed before use.

How long does face paint stay on?

Face paint will stay on until you wash it off under normal circumstances. Always remove paint before going to bed.

Does face paint wash off easily?

Use a mild soap and warm water with a washcloth. Be sure not to rinse off with water only because that could lead to staining. Using water alone presses the face paint into the skin which makes it a little harder to remove completely.

At what age can you face paint a child?

It is not advisable to paint a child’s face if they are under 3. Small children often cannot sit still for long or could move without warning, which could lead to paint entering the child’s eyes or mouth (or they may scratch the paint off and put it in their mouths). Young children also have sensitive skin which is more prone to dehydration than that of older children. 

What if a child doesn’t want their face painted?

If a child does not want their face painted the artist will offer an alternative on the arm or leg.

Often artists will not paint the faces of very young children but will offer to paint the back of their hand or arm instead.

This will also be applicable if the requirements is to offer this at the event.
