Children love becoming their favourite character, and Isadora's speciality includes full character transformations. She paints on location across Christchurch and Canterbury, at parties, themed days and events.

Her work goes well beyond a simple mask. She paints detailed, jewelled and one-stroke designs with professional, cosmetic-grade, skin-safe paint made for hours of party-proof wear.

A theme day, designed for your event

A character day, a favourite movie or a colour scheme can become the design menu for your event. A bespoke palette and design concept is agreed before the day, so the party looks planned instead of improvised.

Detail that stands out

Isadora is known for jewelled 3D designs and one-stroke floral work as well as characters. A character can carry rhinestones, a 3D horn or glitter, and a floral design can sit beside it. Fuller designs take longer than quick cheek art, so the format depends on your guest count.

What to tell Isadora about the characters and theme

  • The characters, movie or colours you have in mind.
  • The date, where the event is and how long it runs.
  • Roughly how many people you would like painted, and their ages.
  • Any known skin sensitivities.
