FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​
Why Hire a Professional? - As simple as it looks to just buy some cheap face paint and splash it on the face, not everyone is going to be able to give a professional job. With many years of experience, painting faces since 2011, we have painted thousands of faces. We only use top quality paints and equipment to produce top quality faces.
Daizy Design Face Painting have worked hard to make sure we are able to provide the fastest face painting in Wellington with most designs taking between 2 - 5 minutes to paint. This means we can keep wait times down and allow more time to enjoy the rest of the party or event. Our artists are all experienced, and highly skilled in making many happy faces!
What areas do you cover? - We are located on the Kapiti Coast and we have artists all over Wellington.
We travel to parties and events across the Wellington Region and travel as far North at Palmerston North for Larger parties and events.
There may be an additional travel fee for parties and events outside of Kapiti.
We are happy to travel to larger events outside of those areas for an additional travel cost subject to availability.
What sort of face paint do you use? -All the paints we use are high quality, professional cosmetic grade paints, designed for use on the skin. We use a combination of mostly TAG, Fusion, Mehron Paradise, DFX, Face Art by BodyFX.
All glitter is approved for cosmetic use and is safe around the eyes.
Why is it so important to use professional cosmetics? -"Non-Toxic" does not mean "safe for skin". Acrylic paints (AKA craft paints or tempura paints) are not meant to be used on the skin - nor are watercolour markers or pencils. Many people are allergic to the non-FDA approved chemicals and colourants used in craft paints and will break out in a rash when these paints are used. Watercolour/washable markers do not easily wash off skin - the term "washable" refers to their ability to wash off fabric easily, not skin. (Top Ten Safety Tips For Face Painting) Professional-grade cosmetic face paints have been thoroughly tested. They are designed to be easy to work with, long lasting, comfortable to wear, vibrant and most importantly, they are safe!
Are The Paints Easy to Remove? -Most of the face paint should wash off with just warm water or a baby wipe. However, some colours can occasionally be a little tougher to remove. For this I recommend, rubbing a little, baby oil/tear free shampoo, make up remover, and washing off. I generally recommend washing off before going to bed, as some colours can rub off and may leave a slight mark on the pillow case.
How do you clean your face painting gear? - To keep everything clean and tidy we use baby wipes and hand steriliser. We use (at least) 1 sponge per person and brushes are thoroughly rinsed between clients and sterilised and cleaned between parties. For health and safety reasons, we will not face paint anyone who appears to have a skin condition or any form of illness – instead maybe offering a neat arm design.
How can I pay you? - Payment can be made by cash on the day or online bank transfers prior to your event. A $40.00 deposit may be required to confirm your booking.
Credit card payments may be arranged for an additional fee.
What do I need to supply? - I provide all of my own face paint and gear. I just need a small space to set up, with good lighting and cover from the sun on hot days or shelter from the wind and rain in bad weather, indoors or outdoor is fine. If you are able to provide a table and chair that is great otherwise I can provide my own.
Do you do charity events? - We love to help out where we can, talk to us and see what we can come up with to help you out.
Do you only do face painting? - No, we also do pregnant belly paintings, and can also paint parts of the body. We are always keen to try new things so don’t hesitate to ask if there is something specific you want done.
We also offer balloon twisting which is extremely popular at parties and events.
​
How do I make a booking? - The easiest way to make a booking is through our contact form, or to email christy@daizydesign.com, as soon as you have an idea of a date, booking early is always best as we can book up fast. In the email it would be great if you could let us know the date and time of the event, the type of event and the location, and we will get back to you as soon as possible!
