NOVEMBER through to the end of MARCH is peak season and fills up quite early so be sure to get your bookings in ASAP to ensure we have painters available.

We take bookings up to a year in advance.

We generally work on the basis of 10-15 full faces/hour for 1 painter so please calculate how long based on that. NB up to 15 faces an hour is an industry standard and allows for time getting child into chair and deciding on design etc.

Please note we have a minimum 1 hour booking for birthday parties.

Glitter Tattoos are generally 20/hour when using stencils 10/hour freehand

Full Body Painting, please contact us to discuss your requirements as design needs vary based on the detail and size of the 'canvas'

For single faces (for masqued balls and fancy dress) we try and put more detail into the design so you will really WOW at your party. we recomend you allow atleast 20-30min/face for detailed work.

Depending on the size of your event you may need anything from 1 - 5 painters. If unsure please call and discuss your needs.

For larger events we recommend 2 Artists (or more) Both our Artists are available at short notice, however we cannot guaruntee we aren't booked already. Please contact us. The sooner the better!
For 3 or more artists we require atleast 1 weeks notice

We can provide any number of artists, up to 10 for very large events but we do need to allow notice to our artists to make sure we have the numbers available for your date.

Simple.
Send us an email ( info@facepaintartists.com.au ) or call direct on 0439 995 982.

We will need your name, Address of event, contact number for the day, hours and date of event.

After confirmation we will email you an invoice which includes all the dates, location etc. Please check these carefully to ensure details are correct. Your booking will be held for 4 days before a deposit is required to secure the date.

Receipt of deposit will be taken as confirmation that all details on the form are correct.

We will provide everything we need so please just provide us with space to set up (shaded area if outdoors*) and some smilie faces to paint.
We will provide table, chairs (if required) and all our face paints/equiptment as well as our own Public Liability insurance.

*For bookings over 3 hours we can provide our own temporary 3x3meter shelter. NB marquee is free of charge if 2 or more artists are booked for 3 or more hours.

Please notify us if there is no fresh water source nearby so we can bring extra water.

We are happy to paint anyone over 2 years of age. Should a child not wish to be painted, we will not paint them.

For birthday parties we recomend that you wait till the birthday child is 3 years of age minimum as many 2-3 year olds unfamiliar with facepainting can find it distressing and refuse to be painted. A birthday should be fun for the birthday child before any one else !!!

The brands we use are
Kryolan, Grimas, Snazaroo, Paradise and TAG
all of these have past Cosmetic regulations in Australia, USA and UK and are all designed purely for the use on skin.

We also use Spectrum Face & Body Art cosmetic glitters, both dry and in a gel base. These are designed for use on the skin and are NOT craft glue, please be wary of anyone using 'KindyGlitz' or simillar as while non toxic these are not designed for skin use as they are in a craft glue carrier.

If your child has allergies, please let us know. We can do a skin test on their arm (in the shape of something they choose) If after 20 minutes there is no reaction, with your permission we will paint their face. We will limit the faces on these children to smaller designs and cheek art.
Should a reaction occur, or you prefer no to test, we will not paint your child and will offer a sticker or temporary tattoo instead.
