CAN I BOOK YOU FOR MY "BIG KIDS" PARTY?
Face painting is for all ages, so don't miss out on a good time! We do milestone birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, 21+ pool parties, NYE parties, weddings, etc.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK?
Our busiest season is October, so you should book at least a month or two in advance to secure the best time for you. For the rest of the year, as soon as you have a date in mind, that's when you should book. Some weekends are more popular than others, so just asking about a date in advance will put you that much closer to having THE MOST MAGICAL AND FUN PARTY EVER.
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Temporary tattoos can last 5-7 days when taken care of. Removal is best with baby oil. You can remove with rubbing alcohol, but I wouldn't suggest it since that can be drying for the skin. Face paint will wash right off with water, or intense sweating, and is subject to smudge with rubbing. If there is any color staining after removal, massage skin with baby oil or coconut oil then wipe. Waterproof face painting will last up to 2 days with some cracking on the second day. Suggested removal is a liquid dish soap lather, then a water rinse, repeating as necessary.
IS IT SAFE FOR ALL AGES?
No. My FDA approved, vegan, skin safe products are recommended for ages 2+. Application for those younger is at the discretion of the parent, but is always advised against. If you have sensitive skin and not sure about the paint, please ask to have it tested on your arm or hand. If you have any allergies or just want the ingredients list of my paints and products, send me an email.
ISN'T GLITTER DANGEROUS?
Yes, craft glitter is. Don't worry, we only use cosmetic grade glitters made just for face and body painting. If it gets in your eye, it will not cut your eye like craft glitter would, but irritate them. Worried about microplastics ruining our ecosystem? We suggest wiping the glitter off with a wet wipe and throwing it away - no glitter going down the drain!
DOES IT GLOW UNDER A BLACK LIGHT?
Yes, some of our products glow under a black light. Please make sure to request this feature in your booking so we bring the right materials. This is not to be confused with glow in the dark products.
WHAT DO YOU BRING?
I bring it all! Table, chair, awesome materials, and tent if one isn't provided (for outdoor events without shade). It makes it so much easier if you provide a table and a 4x4 space protected from the elements. For LIVE body painting, I can also provide the models.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE/HOW MANY CAN YOU DO?
For tattoos, about 2-3 minutes. For face painting parties, 12-18 designs can be done per hour. It depends on what is being requested. For body painting, plan for at least 1.5 hours; it is highly dependent on the coverage and design. For private appointments, I suggest a minimum of 30-45 minutes per person. This is also dependent on the design.
CAN YOU FIT MY THEME?
Yes! My designs can be curated to your theme, BUT kiddos usually want to be Spider-Man. I can probably come dressed in a suitable character, too, free of charge. Examples of past characters: Pirate, Faerie Princess, Clown, Scary Clown, Mermaid, Christmas Elf, and Catrina (Day of the Dead woman).
CAN YOU DO A 100+ ATTENDEES EVENT?
Yes! With a little help from my faerie friends, of course. We can book several artists to dazzle and delight everyone. Or we can discuss fast entertainment if you're on a limited budget. I do offer a discount when booking multiple artists.
WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL?
That's okay! I do require payment in full upon booking, but I can refund 50% for loss of services. We can also apply 50% to a new date (or 100% if it's at least a month's notice).
WHY DO I NEED A BACKUP LOCATION?
Texas weather changes all the time and doesn't care about our party plans. I want to make sure you get the amazing party you're dreaming of. It'll also ensure my kit won't be damaged in inclement weather. Extreme heat and cold affect my supplies and well-being!
DO YOU DRESS UP?
Absolutely! Our artists make sure to wear festive clothing to make sure everyone knows we're bringing the fun. We're either in sparkles or to theme. If you're wanting a more specific costume, let me know and I'll see if we can accommodate the request. We've dressed up as fairies, pirates, Christmas elves, and Day of the Dead in the past.
