Hygiene
I always strive to be as hygienic as possible. A clean sponge is used for every client and brushes are rinsed out with clean water. After each event,
my kit is thoroughly cleaned, sponges are cleaned in the washing machine and brushes are washed with hot soapy water.
As I strive to use the cleanest materials possible, I must insist on painting only clean faces, including those little noses. For safety reasons, I am
unable to clean a child's face. I will gladly supply baby wipes for parents to clean their child's face.
Additionally, food and drinks are not permitted while being painted.
Professional Body Paints
I use only the highest quality, professional products, which are designed for use on the skin. My paints are hypoallergenic and are FDA compliant.
However, this does not preclude an allergic reaction and I cannot be liable for allergic reactions to paints. If your child has very sensitive skin, or is
allergic to a range of common products, please discuss this before the child is painted. It is always possible to carry out a patch test, or to paint a
small design on the hand(where skin is less sensitive) to be on the safe side.
Who Can be Painted?
Ages
Face paint is not recommended for children under 2 years old. For insurance purposes, I can only face paint
on children 3 years and above. However I will kindly offer a small design on the hand to younger children.
Desire
If a child is reluctant to have his or her face painted, I cannot comply with the wishes of the parent or carer over the desire of the child. Young
children do not always understand face painting - someone they do not know is doing something to them, which they cannot see - so a small design
on the hand may be more enjoyable for them. They can see what is being done, feel in control of the situation, and can look at it and enjoy it for the
rest of the day.
Skin Conditions
Anyone who, in my opinion, appears to be suffering from a cold sore, conjunctivitis or any other infectious skin complaint cannot be painted.
Similarly, eczema, open cuts and grazes are not suitable surfaces to paint. However, a design on the cheek, hand or arm is perfectly possible.
Sickness
I am unable to paint anyone suffering from cold/flu symptoms. Hay fever sufferers are advised to have a design on the cheek or hand.
Lastly, I reserve the right to refuse to paint anyone who is abusive, violent, or intoxicated.
How do I get this stuff off?
The best way to wash off face paint is to use a wet wash cloth with a gentle soap. If staining occurs, please wash again the next day to avoid irritating
the skin. Baby wipes are also a way to remove the paint, but is not always the best. Wipes are made for little bottoms and some brands can cause a
reaction on facial skin.
Face paints generally wash off clothing very easily. I will exercise reasonable caution but cannot be responsible for damage to clothing or property.
Can I touch your paint?
Although it would be so much fun, but please do not touch, or allow children to touch or play
with the paints and equipment. This is not to be mean, but germs spread so easily in little children that it is best for only myself to handle the
equipment. For safety reasons, children (and adults) are not permitted to play in my work area and I cannot be liable for any damage or injuries
should this occur.
Who will watch my child while he/she is waiting?
Parents and carers are responsible for their children at all time and must be present in order for the child to be painted! Please be considerate to
myself and other parents by supervising your children while in line. If they are old enough to wait with little supervision then that is fine, but please
don't leave a little one in line and expect them to act like angels. It just isn't possible.
Jokes aside. As I parent, a child's safety is of the utmost importance and while some rules seem strict, they are in place to protect you and your child.
