Safety First

what we do to protect your guests

In the world of special events, I do a great deal to protect the health of my party clients and their guests.

I use high quality makeups that contain antibacterial components. These makeup products are DRY to the touch and are activated only with fresh, clean water, which gives them their creamy texture. After the event, lids are left off so that the moisture can evaporate (bacteria cannot survive without water).

To protect you, listed below are the standards we adhere to . . .

• Equipment, such as makeup chairs and tables, are clean. Anti-bacterial wipes are used on all surfaces.
• Hands of the artist are clean to start...always washed with soap and water before the event starts. Frequent use of hand sanitizer or disposable wipes are used after each guest. Any visible cuts or sores on the hands demand the use of disposable NON-Latex gloves.
• Artist will wash or wipe our hands in between every face we paint.
• Artist will use a disposable or clean sponge per person.
• At smaller events we may use a system to avoid creating lines or crowds around the artist.
• At least 2 two basins for water are used: one for activating clean makeup, with water that is clean enough to drink. The second basin contains rinse water for dirty brushes with a sterilizing liquid soap added. These basins are cleaned and water refreshed after every 10-15 guests.
• During the event, the artist will stop to refresh water basins, and clean surfaces...taking a few minutes between guests, in order to protect those that come later.
• Individual cotton swabs or disposable brushes are used for application of lipstick. After application to the lips, the swab is discarded. No double dipping.
• Only products safe for face and body painting are used, compliant with FDA guidelines and designed for use on the skin.
• Makeup is only be applied to clean, dry skin, without damage, rash or wounds. We Do Not paint over freshly healed skin, but instead encourage a hand or arm painting.
• Require a clean and dry "canvas" to start, the artist will have clean wipes available for guests to use prior to getting decorated.
  
• Good judgement should always err on the side of caution. If a guest is clearly ill, they should not be painted, but provided with another form of entertainment. Stickers, bling, stamps with designs are all acceptable body art alternatives.
• After each event, non-disposable brushes are cleaned thoroughly with soap and hot water. Kits are thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the next event. Non-disposable tools are replaced when necessary.
• DURING COVID-19 TO PROTECT OUR ARTISTS, WHEN DISTANCE IS NOT AN OPTION
• Artists will wear mask or face shield or a combination of both.
• Depending on what stage we are in and according torecommended guidelines, we may take temperature of guests (no contact thermometer)
• We will have a Do Not Cross threshold in accordance with safe distances and ask that those in line space themselves accordingly.
• Since some of our artists are older or high risk, those artists may require
  • guests to wear a mask
  • no touch contact thermometer before being painted
  • guests stay 10 feet from artist until it is their turn
  • painting on arms or other areas (not face)

• Airbrush Face-painting and Tattoos are an excellent alternative to traditional face painting.  There is no risk of cross contamination. The makeup is cosmetic alcohol based and no applicator actually touches the skin. Stencils used are wiped with fast drying alcohol between applications.
