Friendly Face Painting
Face Painting has long been a much loved activity at parties and events all over the world. It's our job to fill the world with happy moments, nothing quite beats the smiles we get when the face paint transformation is revealed.
We also take great responsibility in looking after our envoriment and keeping Mother Nature happy. Here at Daizy Design we try to do everything we can to prioritise our planet's well being.
We make sure we are using cosmetic grade professional face paints with no harmful chemicals that are designed to be safe on the skin. We try to create our our own colour combinations and top up our paints to reduce the amount of packaging we use.
We love using cosmetic-grade eco-glitters which are biodegradable and much friendlier on the enviroment.
We limit the amount of single use iems that we use. We use reusable brushes and sponges, cloths and stencils (that are all well washed between uses!) We also try to limit the amount of wetwipes and cotton buds we use (only using when absolutely necessary). And we save stickers and gems for special occasions.
We like to shop local (within NZ) supporting local suppliers that also care about offering eco-friendly options. Or shopping in person when we have been traveling to other countries teaching face painting at classes and conventions.
We also use biodegradable balloons when balloon twisting, which are made out of natural latex that can be composted in the garden.
For a guilt-free party activity, Daizy Design Face Painting (and even balloon twisting!) is a great option, keeping the kids happy and also the planet!
I love how they focus on eco-friendly options like compostable glitter and reusable brushes. It's great to see a business that cares about the planet while keeping kids happy. I also tried an ai face morph tool recently and it was fun!
Composting natural-latex balloons in the garden isn't the clean win it looks like — they can take years and may leave dyes behind. I'd rather skip balloons than count on backyard breakdown. The reusable brushes and sponges are solid, though. When comparing restocks, a face painting supply cost calculator helps avoid overbuying biodegradable glitter and paint.
Our kit now runs on compostable glitter and reusable sponges; I rinse brushes between kids instead of grabbing wetwipes. Stickers and gems stay boxed until birthdays, and natural-latex balloons go into the garden compost. Before restocking, I compare biodegradable face paint and glitter supplies using a face painting supply cost calculator, so I don't overbuy packaging.
I swapped our party kit to compostable glitter and reusable sponges after reading, and now I rinse brushes between kids instead of reaching for wet wipes. Saving stickers and gems for special occasions changed how I pack the bag too. For restocking, I now compare biodegradable face paint and glitter supplies before buying anything new. The natural-latex balloons get composted in our garden, not binned.
The part about biodegradable eco-glitters and reusable brushes really stuck with me. At my niece’s party last summer, the face paint washed off fine, but the glitter ended up all over the grass. Since then I’ve only bought compostable glitter. I even used a a cursive handwriting worksheet generator to practice swirls before painting names on cheeks, because a steady hand makes the design look so much cleaner.
