How to remove face paint?
Sometimes there is concern face paint will stain the skin, what if it's left overnight? It's true some pigments seem to stick more than others but the good news is that there is an easy and gentle way to remove the colour.
💧This is what I recommend, gentle rinse with gentle soap in the bath or shower, or with a face washer. For photographic purposes I didn't rub too much to demonstrate the concern of staining.
🧽 Left over paint can be gently removed with micellar water, gentle moisturiser (what I used), or even some coconut oil applied with a cotton pad, baby wipe, or makeup removing wipe.
🌈 That leftover paint usually hasn't stained skin if your face painter is using quality paint, it's simply stuck to some dry skin on the top layer and can gently be wiped away after rinsing!

No redness, no harsh scrubbing, and ready for the next day 🥰

It's me! Ok I'm not a fan of selfies but I'm pretty bad of taking pictures on the job. Was pretty happy with this whimsical fairy face paint I painted on myself for a sweet little princess's party recently. Its soo hard painting your own face! This one was a bit different from my usual mermaid theme.

I thought I'd take a minute to introduce myself a little

My why is to bring joy! I love what I do and that I have a job that is fun!

Alot of my work is contracted (working for another painters/party businesses), for this reason I don't have a Web page and am not looking to turn into big business. I enjoy painting, and I'm not so much an empire builder. But I do have an ABN, working with children check (blue card), childsafe training and insurance. I don't dodge the important stuff!

Some good things to know when booking for an event.
1. Please always share your theme, sometimes I can accommodate and order specific stencils or practise designs to suit your event.
2. A face painter typically can paint about 10 children per hour, this is helpful when booking to know what is expected. Often there are multiple bookings per day or commitments and it's not nice to miss out. Don't forget there is usually a few kids who love to get painted on their arms, faces and anywhere else they can squeeze in!
3. Shade is a must. Please ensure there is shade or let me know if it is required.

What to look for in a face painter?

Face painters should only use quality face painting products that are certified and tested for face painting. Never acrylic, watercolours or any other type of paint deemed non toxic is suitable for skin. Quality branded face paints have been tested safe for skin. Look for good brands like Fusion, TAG, XO, Global, Diamond FX, Wolfe FX, and a few others I don't have my hands on yet.
Be aware of overly cheap products, not only are their colours not as vivid but they have not been through the testing that reputable face paint brands have.
All of my face paint is purchased from reputable face painting suppliers and is safe for use on the skin! However allergies can occur so it always helps to let your painter know if there any suspected allergies and a patch test can be organised before your special event 💕
