10-12. This takes into consideration a few things like getting on the chair then off the chair, type of design, indecisiveness, wriggly bums, headband for hair, brush washing, wiping sticky faces, kiddy chit chat, questions, special requests and just all those little things that can come with little humans that take time and care. ​ To fit more faces into a tighter time frame I can paint smaller designs (but still fun and vibrant) just let me know your preference before confirming a spot. ​ I'm a Mum, I know it can be almost impossible to confirm exact numbers but a good solid estimation is necessary. it helps me plan a "face paint menu" for the kids to choose from. I don't want to offer larger more detailed designs if I realistically don't have the time. If there is not enough time, painting the last few kids with smaller designs is not fair or fun.

For private events like childrens birthdays, I put numbered stickers on the kids. I have about 3 waiting in line at a time. They can play until it's their turn and dont spend their precious party time waiting in line. For bigger events like community days in the park, all face painters hope that mums/dads/caregivers are close by monitoring. This prevents line jumping and potential squabbles. It is usually just me and as much as I tell my daughter I can see EEEVERYTHING, let's face it, I can't.

You pay for paint time only. I arrive 15 minutes early to set up and leave 15 minutes after the agreed time slot and this is included in our transaction.

I come with everything I need however I do ask if we are outdoors that I be situated under shade/shelter for the kids. I like to travel light. If you'd prefer I use your furniture I can do that too. I don't take up too much space, a 3m x 3m spot will suffice.

I find and recommend a face cloth and warm water. Simple. I start at the eye lid/brow area and wipe up and away from the eyes. Then with a clean section of the face cloth, begin again below the eye and wipe down the cheek, muzzle and chin. Then pay attention to this missed bits. Some colours may stain skin temporarily, this is where we can step it up a notch by using a flannel, cotton pad/ball and apply a little oil (baby oil, cream, or coconut oil are great... but olive oil does the trick just as well) and rub over the stubborn stains. The oil picks up the pigments/paint and the stains should come right off!
