Q. How many faces can be
painted in one booking? |
|
A. This is a common
question but one with various answers.
We have
recently added a tool to our website to help give you an idea of what
might be suitable for your event.
Click here to see how many faces we can paint at your event!
To make it simple we tell
people that we can provide a minimum number of full detailed faces in one
hour with one painter. to see what that minimum is please visit our
payments page.
The number depends on
how long you book for. We are happy to limit faces
to 5 or even 3 minutes in order to cut the booking time down for you.
That way you can be sure to have those extra couple of kids painted without
having to pay for additional time. Please keep in mind that 5 &
3 minute faces will not be as elaborate or as detailed as some of the
faces you will see in our gallery although we do not skimp on the
quality and we will make every effort to be sure the work is of a high
standard.
You should also consider
this when other face painters tell you that they can provide large numbers
per hour and always ask what the quality is like. |

|
Q. What kind of paints
do you use? |
|
A.
First
of all it will help to understand that the paints themselves are not
actually paints but more like make up.
|
We use a combination of
professional make-up from international suppliers. These would include
'Wolfe
Brothers' + 'Paradise'
+ ‘Kryolan’
and ‘Snazaroo’
- all of these make-ups are considered by many face painters to be of the
highest quality available. The make-up contains non-toxic &
hypo-allergenic properties and are FDA (USA) approved.
Snazaroo
paints also carries a "child toy safety rating" and is one of the world’s
safest face painting products.
Paints don’t chip or peel and will wash off easily with mild soap and warm
water at the end of the day, or you can use a face cloth or wet wipes, but
the paint should be removed before bed that day.
Do not
be surprised if there is some staining - this is normal and will fade within
a day or two. |

|
Q. Are the paints that
you use easy to remove? |
TOP OF PAGE |
|
A.
Yes!
Wipes off easily with a cloth dampened in warm water and a little bit of
soap if necessary. The most effective removal has been achieved with
face wipes like 'wet ones'. You can also use make-up remover or
sorboline cream if
necessary but the above methods should be sufficient. Some colours
will stain more than others so you may need to repeat cleaning
depending on how long you have been wearing the face paint and what
the colour is.
Do not be surprised if there is some staining - this is normal and
will fade within a day or two. |
|
|
|
Q. Will the paints stain
my clothing or bed sheets and pillow cases? |
|
A.
They may
temporarily but should come off in a cold water wash. Do not use
warm or hot water. To avoid staining bed sheets the face paint
should be removed before bed. |
|
|
|
Q. Does 'Cheeky Face'
sell any other products? |
|
A.
Yes. We
sell a range of face painting products including paints, brushes,
practice dummy heads, Giant bubble wands and more. We plan to
make these available on the website when we get the chance but

Q. Do you supply all
your own equipment? |
TOP OF PAGE |
|
A.
Yes! We
have everything we need for the day. If you can supply a table &
chairs for us to work from (that you don't mind getting make up /
paint on) it will save us some trouble...but no problem if you can't.
The only thing we
do ask you to provide is protection from the elements... |
| |
|
Direct sunshine: |
|
Sunshine can
soften the make-up and make it difficult to work with. |
| |
|
Wind: |
|
Wind will
blow hair all over the place even if we use hair bands and this
will slow the face painting down and possibly smudge paints if
they do not dry quick enough. |
| |
|
Rain: |
|
I think this
one's pretty obvious but for those of you who don't know -
Lorene and I are porous beings and we will absorb the water if
it rains. When we swell up as a result our arms are too
short to reach the brushes and we can only paint the kids if we
stand side ways. This of course will not work for anyone
I'm sure so please help by providing adequate protection. |

Q. Do you provide clowns, magic or any other entertainment? |
|
A.
We are
primarily face painters and prefer to focus on creating high quality
faces. Although we can offer balloon modeling as well as
the face painting we are not actually clowns. If you need other entertainers, we have met many on our travels
and would be happy to put you in contact with them.
We do now offer balloon modelling and we can include this
within your face painting booking or you have the option to add a
small amount of extra time to your booking to allow for ballooning at
the end of the face painting. Balloons
are quick and usually only needs half an hour to make enough balloon
animals for about 15 - 30 children depending on what we have to make.
If a balloonist
is required for longer periods we can arrange that too. See also
"What other services do you offer?" |

|
Q. Do you offer
Henna tattooing (Mendhi)? |
|
A.
Yes, we now
offer Henna tattooing and we create a FREE gallery as we do with all
our services. You can combine Henna with Face painting to please
everyone at the party when there are kids and adults. Teenagers
will love the Henna (stains for about 2 - 3 weeks) and all ages will
enjoy the light hearted fun with face painting - in particular the
little ones. |
