~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some commonly asked questions: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE and What age groups are they for?
"FULL FACE" face painting may take 3-10 minutes . *Recommended for everyone preschool and up who can sit relatively still for a few minutes.- and you might be surprised how still a little one sits when they want to have their face painted!
"CHEEK ART" ( applied to face or arm) may take 3-5 minutes . Great for very young children who are not quite sure about having a stranger poking a paintbrush on their face!
"GLITTER TATTOOS" take 3-5 minutes for small and medium designs. Larger designs may take longer. *Recommended for age 2 up .
*ART/CRAFT Parties or project stations at special events are set up to allow multiple participants to create art at a time - typical projects take 10-15 minutes for larger crowds where we need to give a large number of kids a turn ( also good for very young children) . Smaller number of children and older groups can choose more detailed projects and they can last from 15 minutes to about an hour.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ASK US ABOUT COMBINING GLITTER TATTOOS & FACE PAINTING!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*What face painting DESIGNS do you offer?
Participants choose from many design options our sample books/boards while waiting for their turn. Many will want what they see already painted on others or have ideas of their own! Every child will have the opportunity to make his/her design personal with our many color choices! Can't decide? Let us surprise you!
What type of FACEPAINT do you use?
All face paints we use are highly pigmented for brilliant color and are non-toxic, FDA compliant, and water-based. They are specially formulated for use on children or adult skin. Designs may last a couple hours or all day depending on care . Designs can easily be removed with baby wipes or mild soap and water. * NOTE facepaint is water based and will "sweat"off on very hot days! Children with especially sensitive skin or highly allergic can have a "patch test" done first. It is up to parents / guardians / party hosts to inform us of any child who should be tested.
What about your GLITTER TATTOOS?
Glitter tattoos are applied using 2-3 part design stencils with super sparkly professional cosmetic glitter and a skin-safe adhesive. They can last
3-7 days or longer and are water-resistant. Designs can be removed with alcohol or oil based products.

How are LINES managed during your event?
We have lots of experience and do our best to keep things moving. For larger crowds we may need a line manager to keep up with who's next in line and help children choose a design. At smaller events we may ask an attending adult to let us know who is next. Children enjoy watching those in front of them!
