The spring school holidays have been busy with face painting bookings!

Tomorrow I have a day between events, so I’ll be catching up on admin and enquiries from 8am–12pm. If you’re planning a celebration, please get in touch soon.

Wednesday school holiday fun with Elite Talent & Promotions.

Like yesterday, I kept most designs quick to keep the line moving.
When it eased, I had time to paint some more detailed designs from my Party and Signature menus.

A few children enjoyed yesterday’s face painting so much they came back for another design today!

Fresh colours in my kit!

I often get lovely comments about how vibrant my colours look on children’s skin.
I use high-quality paints and keep them clean and in date.

All my splitcakes are handmade by me, with colour combinations I’ve tweaked over the years to suit specific designs.

One of my favourites from today working with Elite Talent & Promotions.

I painted 82 faces in four hours, usually 70–75 is my maximum.
I kept the designs quick while the line was long, then had time for this Signature design when things eased up.

It was lovely seeing some familiar faces at today’s spring school holiday event in Jesmond!

I recognised a few families from the autumn school holidays. It’s always nice when the kids remember me too.

On Tuesday I painted at Elite Talent & Promotions spring school holiday event in Jesmond.

It also marks a year since I returned to face painting after maternity leave.
I love being a mum, but I missed painting more than I expected.

I’ve just given my kit its annual refresh too:
new paints with a few colour tweaks, glitters, special effects products and a bling mirror I made myself.

One of my speedy designs from today!

The line stayed busy, so I kept designs quick for the first few hours.
When it eased up in the last half hour, I offered my more detailed birthday party designs.
