Face painting for events in Christchurch
A face painter for festivals, markets, school and community events and corporate days across Christchurch and Canterbury.
- Christchurch and Canterbury
- Cosmetic-grade, skin-safe paint


Face painting gives an event something people can wear home. Isadora paints on location at events across Christchurch and Canterbury, from festivals and markets to school fairs and corporate days.
She works with professional, cosmetic-grade, skin-safe face and body paint and paints designs from quick cheek art to full jewelled, one-stroke work. The right format depends on your event and your guest count, and Isadora helps you plan it.

Which kind of event are you planning?
Each kind of event has its own page, with the details that matter for it:
- Festival and market face painting: busy, open-air days where visitors come and go.
- School fair and community event face painting: fairs, galas, fun days and fundraisers.
- Corporate event face painting: staff family days, brand days and activations.
- Character and theme face painting: events with a theme, a franchise or a favourite character.
- Birthday party face painting: private parties at home, in a hall or at a venue.
What changes from one event to the next
How many people can be painted depends on the design complexity you choose, from quick cheek art to full jewelled, one-stroke designs. A busy festival and a small private event call for different formats, and Isadora will help you plan the right format and duration for your guest count.
