A face painter for festivals, markets and fairs across Christchurch and Canterbury, painting on location while your visitors come and go.
- Christchurch and Canterbury
- Cosmetic-grade, skin-safe paint
Festivals and markets are made of people moving from one thing to the next. Face painting is something visitors can join in on, sit for and wear home. Isadora paints on location at festivals and markets across Christchurch and Canterbury.
She works with professional, cosmetic-grade, skin-safe face and body paint. The designs she paints range from quick cheek art to full jewelled, one-stroke work, so the format can follow the kind of day you are running.
Choosing the format for a busy day
At a festival the question is how many people you want painted across the hours you are open. The answer depends on the design complexity you choose. Quick cheek art suits a steady flow of visitors. Fuller, jewelled designs suit a quieter session or a smaller group.
Isadora will help you plan the right format and duration for your guest count, so tell her how long the event runs and how busy you expect it to be.
What organisers and stallholders should plan
Whether you run the festival or a single stall, these are worth settling before you enquire:
- The date, the opening hours and the hours you want face painting for.
- Where Isadora would be, and whether it is indoors, outdoors or under cover.
- How many people you expect and how long a queue you are happy with.
- Whether you want one style of design or a menu to choose from.
- Any known skin sensitivities among the people you expect, such as a school group.
Market and stall face painting
At a market, face painting gives families a reason to stay a little longer. Tell Isadora the market's hours and layout, and she will talk through the format with you. Travel scope is confirmed at the time of booking.
Designs for festival crowds
Isadora paints detailed one-stroke florals, jewelled 3D designs and full character transformations, from unicorns and mermaids to Sonic and Pikachu. A bespoke palette and design concept is agreed before the day, so the artwork can follow your festival's colours or theme.
