The Mother behind the Paint Fairy 🧚♀️
Hey! I’m Corinna. I’m 33 years old and a mummy to 4 beautiful boys 💙. I was a nursery nurse of 13 years. So you could say kids are my world........ LITERALLY! 😊 I love going on nature walks, having days out as a family but love duvet days with the kids watching films just as much. I hate that I’m such a perfectionist and I’m such a messy person. I’d love one day to take my boys on an aeroplane and my dream is to one day take them to Disneyland!
I bet you’re on my page wondering my reason behind being a face painter?!? Well the answers pretty simple. From being young I loved to draw, especially Disney! Then through school I took Art as a GCSE. I consider myself quite a creative person in general. At parties I would love watching face painters and sit there thinking I’d love to do what they do.
This brings me to my 31st birthday, when asked by my mum what I wanted, I asked her for a facepainting starter kit. I’ve never been so excited to receive a simple box of paint! Since Lockdown I’ve just been building and building the kit which has become quite an obsession and gained a qualification in facepainting. My days are now spent in Hobbycraft and The Range and searching Amazon for new paint colours and glitters 🙈 I spend my time learning new tips and techniques watching videos on YouTube and practicing them on my eldest boys. They are simply amazing and so supportive of me as well as my friends and family. I’ve along way to go in this adventure of mine but I live by the motto ‘If you want something so bad go out there and get it’. I want to show my boys that their hopes and dreams are possible if you put the time and commitment in.
I’m currently looking into taking my talent further and making facepainting into a proper side business so anyone out there with their own business and has some handy advice and tips for me I’m all ears and it would be very muchly appreciated 😁 I’m happy to come along to any events people may have such as birthdays, christenings as the practice would benefit me most definitely!
My first event I was nervous like you can imagine until a little girl propped herself up on the chair in front of me asking me to paint a rainbow. Looking into her big beautiful brown eyes and at her gorgeous smile that’s when my mindset shifted. My job was to make that smile even bigger and leave her walking away a happy little customer and that’s exactly what happened. She leapt back off her chair running to her mummy so proud of my work. It was such an amazing feeling and gave me the confidence I needed to get me through as many children as I could in that hour. To think I was so nervous at the start! I made lots of kids happy at the party, especially the birthday boy and that in itself I knew I had done my job 🥰
NOTE I’m not as fancy as some face painters it’s just little me and my kit and I’m still learning as I go along but that doesn’t mean to say I’m not good at what I do! I prefer to paint freehand and limit stencil work which I hope is what gives me the edge to some face painters around.I’m looking forward to continuing learning new skills and techniques with my new found journey and have a great feeling the best is still yet to come!
