Face Painting & Balloons twiseting Auckland

Yes, absolutely. I only use premium, professional-grade, cosmetic-certified (FDA-compliant), and hypoallergenic face paints. They are 100% skin-safe, water-based, and wash off easily with warm water and soap at the end of the day. For our balloons, I use high-quality, professional latex balloons that are 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly. Please let me know if any guests have latex allergies.

It depends on the service and the complexity of the design: Face Painting: Quick eye/cheek designs take 2–3 minutes. Full-face transformations take 4–5 minutes. On average, I paint around 10– 15 kids per hour for detailed designs, or up to 20 kids per hour for fast party designs. Balloon Twisting: Simple shapes take about 2–3 minutes, while deluxe designs take 4–5 minutes. I can usually complete around 20–22 balloon creations per hour.

Yes! Combo packages are my most popular option. Depending on the size of your party, I can either split the time (e.g., 1 hour of face painting followed by 1 hour of balloon twisting) or bring a balloon artist for larger events. Let’s chat to find the perfect setup for your guest count!

Anyone from about 3 years old and up! For face painting, toddlers need to be able to sit relatively still. For balloon twisting, younger children love them, but we always remind parents to supervise kids under 3 to prevent choking hazards from popped balloons. And yes, grown-ups are always welcome to join the fun too!

Yes, I proudly serve the entire Auckland region. While I am based in West Auckland, I happily travel to North Shore, Central, East, and South Auckland for events. Depending on your location and peak-hour traffic, a small travel fee may apply to cover time and transport, which will be clearly included in your quote.

For outdoor events, a clean, fully sheltered area (such as an extended eaves, marquee,) must be provided. Face paint can run in the rain, and latex balloons can burst in direct, scorching sunlight or fly away in heavy wind. Having a "Plan B" indoor space ensures the magic continues without any stress!

The easiest way is to send me a text, call me on [021 236 3735], or email [facesforfun.sheila@gmail.com]. You can also fill out the contact form on this website. Please let me know: the date, time slot, location/suburb, type of event, and rough number of children. I will get back to you with a customized quote within 24 hours.

I highly recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance for weekend birthday parties, and even earlier during peak seasons like school holidays, Easter, Halloween, and the Christmas period (November & December). However, last-minute party emergencies happen! Feel free to reach out and check if I have a late opening.

Face Paint Removal The Soap & Water Method: Simply apply mild soap or face wash directly onto the painted design, gently massage it in, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. For Stubborn Pigments: If a faint tint remains, don’t scrub. Instead, massage a little moisturizer or lotion onto the skin to break down the pigment, then wipe and wash again. Eye Safety (Glitter): If glitter was applied, carefully wipe it away from the eye area first to prevent irritation. Important Care Tips: Always ensure all face paint is completely washed off before going to bed. Glitter Tattoo Removal The Oil Method: Glitter tattoos will naturally fade over a few days. To remove them sooner, rub a small amount of oil (such as coconut oil, olive oil, or baby oil) onto the design. Wipe Gently: Let the oil sit for a minute or two until the tattoo begins to lift, then gently wipe it away with a cloth or cotton pad. Repeat if necessary.
