A theme for the whole party

If your child's party has a theme, tell Isadora when you enquire. A favourite movie, a colour scheme or a character day can all become the design menu for the party. A bespoke palette and design concept is agreed before the day, so there are no surprises. See character and theme face painting for the characters Isadora paints.

How to plan face painting for your child's party

A few things help Isadora plan the right format for your party. They are the same details you would give any face painter:

  • The date, the start and finish times, and where the party is: a home, a hall, a park or a venue.
  • Roughly how many children you would like painted, and their ages.
  • The theme or characters you have in mind, if any.
  • Any known skin sensitivities. Always tell Isadora beforehand.

Fitting face painting into the party

Face painting works best when it has its own time and space in the plan for the party. Tell Isadora when guests arrive, what else is happening and when the party ends, and she will help you plan the right format and duration around it.

The design you choose shapes how many children can be painted. Quick cheek art suits a short window with many children. Fuller jewelled, one-stroke designs suit a smaller group or a longer session.

Where Isadora paints birthday parties

Isadora paints on location: at home, in a hall, at a park or at a venue across Christchurch and Canterbury. Tell her where your party is when you enquire. Travel scope is confirmed at the time of booking.

Skin-safe paint, made for party wear

Isadora works exclusively with professional, cosmetic-grade, skin-safe face and body paint, the same standard used across the professional face painting industry. The products are designed for hours of party-proof wear. If a child has a known skin sensitivity, tell her beforehand.
