Fun faces created for children and adults. Based in Leicester. Available for Parties, Wedding/Reception and Mendhi events, Family and Community events, Charity events & Fetes, Christenings, Fancy Dress parties - any other special occasions.
I have been Face Painting since Oct 2017. I really enjoy being creative and meeting new people of all ages. I have Public Liability Insurance and I use products that are fully compliant with EU and FDA Cosmetic Regulations. They are all skin friendly and washable. Minimum age I can paint on is 3 years. 2 hours is a minimum booking that I offer. I can stay for longer if required. Contact me for information on prices for each option. Travel charges may apply to you depending on the location of your venue. I can notify you upon enquiry if this applies to you.
Glitter Bar -Glitter Face Art - adding a splash of loose fine or chunky glitter in various colours around the eye area (not too close) This adds a sparkly touch to anyone’s face and compliments their outfit for any special occasion. All glitter used is of cosmetic grade and washable with warn soapy water. Pictures are on my Facebook and Instagram page. This is perfect for parties, Ladies nights events, Hen Do’s, Wedding Reception parties.
Glitter Tattoos - These are also available for guests to have done at your special event. Ideal for those who don’t want anything on their face. Minimum age is 3 yrs. Tattoo’s can be applied to hands and arms only. They are not suitable for the face and can last for up to 7 days and are waterproof. With at least 30 different designs to choose from, there is a tattoo for everyone at your special event. These are removable with baby oil or make up remover.
Option 1 - 2 hours Face Painting Only - Approx 25 people can be painted in that duration depending on the size of the design chosen from my display board. Handcrafted face bling/gems are included into some designs to add that sparkly finish.
Option 2 - 2 hrs Glitter Tattoo’s Only - Approx 30-40 people can be done during that time. Up to 30 different designs to choose from. I give each person the opportunity to choose 3 colours of their choice of glitter that they would like me to apply onto their tattoo.
Option 3 - 2 hrs Face Painting and Glitter Tattoo’s - Approx 30 people can be done during that time. Glitter Tattoo’s are quicker to do. Each person chooses to have 1 option done - either a Face Painting design or a Glitter Tattoo design. They can choose ONE option from my display boards. This is to ensure everyone gets a chance to have something done. Only the birthday boy/girl gets to have both if they want to!
Option 4 - 2 hrs Glitter Bar - Glitter Face Art- Up to 40 people can be done during this time. Festival style glitter is applied near the eye area, arms or forehead. Painting detail can be added too.
Option 5 - Fancy Dress Painting - If you have a Fancy Dress of themed event/party to attend and needed your face painting, Eg Halloween - Day of the Dead theme, this can be offered to you depending on the style and design chosen by yourself. Pictures of what you would like me to create would need to be sent to me in advance. Im unable to offer any Special Effects painting at present. The duration would vary dependant on the design chosen by yourself.
Pregnancy Bump Painting
Having a baby or multiples is a special time and experience when you are pregnant. I can help you capture the memory of your pregnancy through Art and having your bump painted! The expectant mother needs to be approx 30 weeks pregnant to have a Pregnancy Bump Painting done. The size of the area to paint on is usually big enough but hopefully not ‘too uncomfortable’. (I have had twin boys who are now 4 yrs so can appreciate how uncomfortable it can become!)
Any worries of stretch marks or the Linea Nigra (the dark line that develops across your stomach during pregnancy) can try to be covered with the paint used depending on the design chosen. All paints used are EU and FDA compliant with Cosmetic Regulations. These are the same paints that I use for Face Painting. Skin friendly, causes no harm to your baby/multiples and simply washes off with warm soapy water. Cosmetic glitter can be added to the design at the end for the sparkly finish.
You can choose a design from searching online alternatively if you have a design in mind, I can try to re-create it. An image or picture of your design would need to be sent to me by email or text upon enquiry of your booking so I am able to give you information on approximate duration it would take me to paint and the total cost. Also to ensure I have the required equipment to create the chosen design. Ideally it will take me between 1-2 hours to do, longer if the design is more detailed. I would visit you in the comfort of your own home and bring all the equipment required. I would ideally need to place my equipment on a table close by to your seating position. You can choose to sit on a chair or lay down on the bed or sofa to ensure you are comfortable. Understandably, if you do need to adjust your position during the process that would be fine. My aim is to ensure you have an enjoyable and comfortable experience.
Ideally I would like to record the process of the painting from my phone using a tripod which would be used to advertise the service on my social media. Once the painting is completed, photos would be taken. You can remain anonymous if preferred. Up to 3 images would then be sent to you by email or txt for you to keep and share with friends and family. I would add my watermark logo on these images ‘SimArtistry - Face Painting’ and upload to my social media. On my page, I can tag you to the photos/videos if preferred, alternatively if you wish to remain anonymous that would be respected.
This is a personal experience and I endeavour to ensure you enjoy the whole experience in the comfort of your own home.
