Face painting in Christchurch and Canterbury

Isadora is a professional face painter who paints on location across Christchurch and Canterbury. She paints at birthday parties, festivals and markets, school and community events and corporate and brand days, and she paints character and theme days too.

Her work ranges from quick cheek art to full jewelled, one-stroke designs. Every booking starts with a conversation about your event, your guests and the designs you would love, and a design concept is agreed before the day.

Who is Isadora?

With over 10 years of experience in the beauty and creative industries, I am a passionate and dedicated makeup artist and face painter who loves bringing creativity, colour and confidence to every client and occasion.

I hold a Diploma in Makeup Artistry and have continued to expand my skills and knowledge through professional training and experience. I was also fortunate enough to be one of just nine talented artists selected to compete on Season 1 of Glow Up New Zealand, an incredible experience that challenged my creativity, pushed my artistic boundaries and allowed me to showcase my passion for makeup artistry.

Alongside my makeup artistry, I have studied and trained in face painting through the International Face Painting School online, developing my skills and techniques to create everything from beautiful, intricate designs to fun, imaginative face art.

With over a decade in the industry across both makeup artistry and face painting, I pride myself on my attention to detail, creativity and ability to bring each client's vision to life. Whether it's a special occasion, a glamorous makeup look, or colourful face painting, I love making people feel amazing and creating something truly memorable.

For me, makeup and face painting are more than just a service: they're a way to express creativity, celebrate individuality and make people feel confident, beautiful and special.
