Health & Safety & Terms

As a member of 'FACE', the The Face Painting Association, we adhere to strict safety guidelines.

Paints: We only use professional high quality water based face paints and glitters (Grimas, Paradise, Wolfe, Kryolan Aquacalour, Mehron& Snazaroo).

Clean sponges are used for each face.
Paints are removed easily with soap & water.
Paints may not be suitable for sensitive skin or babies. (List of ingredients on demand.) Skin tests available to check this.
We will not paint over skin conditions or cuts.
We follow strict health & hygene guidelines, and all sponges and brushes are cleaned after every event

Child Safety:

We hold CRB Police Checks, and have worked with children for many years. This does not mean we are to be left alone with children; we are not childminders.
We will not paint a child, or anybody else, without their own consent.
During face painting we explain what we are doing and chat with clients to put them at ease.

Terms & Conditions

Please read these points for a happy, stress-free event!

Who We Will Paint

We will not paint on wounds, infections, dirty or sensitive skin.
Some young children are not good subjects, and we may refuse to paint them.
We will not paint anyone however young, against their own wishes.
We reserve the right to refuse to paint any person or part of a person we feel is unsuitable, or with what we consider to be offensive symbols or subjects.
We will not use photos of painted children without parental permission. Photos will only be used for publicity purposes, and copies can be emailed free.
If more guests want to be painted than we were booked for, we may not manage all in the time quoted. If we can we will stay longer, if you wish to pay for the extra time.
At parties, one guest queuing is enough. We paint on through games and food, as 5 minutes absence from them does not upset most children.
We are not there to control or entertain the entire party, although we don’t mind an audience! Clients are responsible for their children at all time.

Equipment

We use only top quality, professional water-based products, but they may irritate sensitive skin. If a child has sensitive skin, or allergies, please tell us before we paint them. We may be able to paint on less sensitive areas. We are not liable for any allergic reactions to paint.
A clean sponge is used for each face, and all are machine washed between bookings. Brushes are cleaned with professional soap between bookings.
Please arrange a space for us with good light, sheltered from sun, wind and rain. Do not touch, or allow children to touch, our equipment. Please don’t play in this area; we will not be liable for any damage or injuries should this occur.

Removing Paint

Remove painted faces with a flannel and soap, NOT baby wipes or cleansing lotion (which can irrtitate skin and may not take off the paint properly).
Paint will not survive baths, or overnight (unless on your pillows!). Most paints wash off cloth. We exercise reasonable caution, but are not responsible for damaged clothes or property.

Payment & Cancellations

Please pay by cheque (to Cats Creations in UK, C Finlayson-Wilkins in HK) or cash at the event. Due to some clients cancelling on the day, we may require a non-refundable deposit, payable when confirming booking details.
