1.6  BOOKING FORM: An email will be sent with link to an online booking form. It is the event organiser's responsibility to check the contact number and address of the party, so the face painter can contact you if they can’t locate you on the day and to make sure they go to the correct address. Please check your phone on the party day near your party time in case the entertainer is struggling to find you.

 

1.7  Public Park Bookings. It is the responsibility of the event organiser to arrange a meeting location at an entrance to the park at a set time and walk the face painter to the party location. The face painter will wait for 20 mins maximum if they can’t get a hold of the organiser on the phone. The face painter will be carrying lots of equipment so we will not be able to ‘search for the party.’

​

1.9 Parking. If parking needs to be paid for it will be added to the invoice or paid for on the day by the organiser.

 

2. Who Can Participate

2.1   All children must have permission from a parent or care giver to have their face painted. The event organizer is responsible for ensuring this.

 

2.2   Your face painter must be advised if any of the children have known allergies, or skin conditions that may be relevant to face painting. We are able to do a patch test of any children. All paints the artist uses are EU and FDA compliant, hypoallergenic and not more than 12 months old but on rare occasions an allergic reaction can occur this is usually within 24 hours.

 

2.3   Due to the risk of infection, anyone who appears to be suffering from a cold sore, runny nose, conjunctivitis, or any other infectious skin complaint, or who has an open sore or irritation will not have their face painted.  The performer may choose to paint one cheek, or the back of the hand as this skin is less sensitive.

 

2.4   Your face painter has the right to refuse to paint the face of any child under the age of 2 years, or child reluctant to have their face painted. Young children do not always understand face painting and this can be a traumatic experience in some circumstances.  The performer will ask if they would like a design on the back of their hand where they can see what is being done and feel in control of the situation.

 

2.5  The artist will refuse to paint the face of anyone who is abusive, violent, or intoxicated.
