Health & Safety for Face Painting & Events
We take health, safety and hygiene seriously across all of our face painting and event services.
This page outlines the standards we follow when working at private and corporate events.
Professional Products and Skin Safety
We use professional, cosmetic-grade face paints and glitters that meet EU and FDA safety standards. Our products are cruelty-free, and wherever possible we prioritise vegan and vegetarian-friendly options.
We also take a considered approach to sustainability, using a combination of biodegradable cosmetic glitters and eco-friendly products where available.
Our glitters are suspended in a gel-based medium, which helps reduce fallout and allows for more precise application. This also means designs dry cleanly and can be removed easily after the event.
We work with established, industry-recognised brands including Diamond FX, TAG, Superstar, Face Paints Australia, Global, Cameleon, Fusion, Kryolan and Mehron.

Sustainability and Cosmetic Glitters
We understand that sustainability is an important consideration for many clients, particularly for corporate events and brand activations.
We use a combination of biodegradable cosmetic glitters and eco-friendly glitter products where available. As the biodegradable range is still limited in certain colours, finishes and particle sizes, we take a balanced approach to ensure both visual quality and reduced environmental impact.
Where possible, we prioritise biodegradable options and avoid the use of loose glitter pigments.
Our products are typically applied using gel-based formulations, which help to minimise fallout and reduce the spread of glitter into the surrounding environment.
We are also mindful of how products are used during events, ensuring controlled application and responsible use across all setups.
If your event has specific sustainability requirements, we are happy to discuss product choices and adapt where possible.
​
We can also provide further product information or documentation where required for internal approvals or supplier compliance.
Health & Safety
We hold Public Liability Insurance and follow standard health and safety practices across all events.
Please note:
​
-
We do not paint children under 3 years old. At the discretion of a parent or guardian, a small design may be applied to the arm for children aged 2–3.
-
We assume consent is given for children to be painted unless otherwise specified by a parent, host or organiser.
-
We only use professional, skin-safe products, however we cannot guarantee that all skin types will not react.
-
We recommend avoiding application on broken, irritated or sensitive skin.
In the unlikely event of a reaction, face paint should be removed gently using water and a soft cloth.
Some colours may leave a temporary stain, which will fade naturally or can be removed with oil-based products.
​
We cannot be held responsible for staining to clothing.
For hygiene and safety reasons, we do not paint guests with visible skin conditions such as cold sores, conjunctivitis, open wounds or infections.
Equipment and Hygiene
All equipment is cleaned and prepared before each event.
​
During events, we maintain hygiene by:
​
-
Using clean brushes and sponges
-
Washing tools between uses
-
Using fresh water
-
Maintaining a clean and organised workspace
​​
Sponges are changed between clients, and brushes are regularly sanitised to maintain a consistent standard of hygiene.

For children, consent is always requested from a parent or guardian.
