Products
We only use professional face paint. Some of the brands we use are DFX, TAG, GLOBAL, SUPERSTAR and CAMELEON. All paints and products used are EU and FDA compliant and approved for use on the skin. We use one sponge per person. Brushes are rinsed in clean water and brush bath solution between each client. All equipment used is kept clean, sanitary and cleaned after each booking. To ensure that health and hygiene standards are maintained, we ask that our products remain untouched by anyone other than the members of the team. All products used are water based, and tested for use on the skin. They comply with FDA and EU regulations. However, please note that all cosmetics can, on rare occasions, because allergic reactions and we accept no liability for this.
Before Painting
If the person to be painted has not been painted before or has sensitive skin, it is possible that face painting may cause irritation. Please therefore ask for a patch test. If there is no reaction after 15 minutes, the person may be painted. It is your responsibility to advise us of any sensitivity prior to painting and we accept no liability for irritation caused.
Who we paint
Artists will not paint anyone who is or appears to be, sick (runny nose, cough etc.) or suffering from cold sores, conjunctivitis, rashes, infectious skin conditions or open wounds. Our company policy is to paint children over the age of 3 years. Some of the products state not to be used on under threes, so we abide by the manufacturers guidelines on the face. However, our artists will use their discretion and offer something on the arm if the child would like that as an alternative. We will not paint anything we deem to be rude or offensive. We reserve the right to refuse to paint the face of any person who appears unwell or with medical conditions. In these circumstances we are able to paint, at the artists discretion, the arm or hand of that person. We take no responsibility for the welfare or safety of persons waiting to be painted.
Children
Please ensure that children waiting to be painted are supervised at all times. On private events/parties, it is the responsibility of the organiser to ensure that the permission of parents/guardians is obtained prior to children being painted. We will paint at the artists discretion the face of children who in the artists opinion are under 3 years of age, or unlikely to sit to be painted. However, in these cases the arm or hand may be painted upon request.
Other useful information
Face paints are easily removed with soap and water. Some paints may leave a slight tint on the skin which should fade in a day or so. All paints used are water-based and as such should not stain clothing. However, we will not be held liable for any damage to clothing or property. Should this occur please cold soak the item prior to washing. Photographs will not be used without parental/guardian consent. Any photographs taken will be used for promotional purposes only and identities will not be revealed to third parties. A complimentary copy can be emailed to the parent/guardian upon request. We will not paint any person (regardless of age) against their wishes – including sleeping children. We will not paint anything that the artist deems to be offensive, obscene and/or inappropriate for the event or group. Please do not eat or drink whilst being painted. Verbal or physical abuse will not be tolerated. All persons wishing to be painted must be presented with a clean, dry face.
