• ColourPop shines brightest when able to offer designs that have some intricacy as opposed to quick designs.  The goal is to ensure that every person gets up from the chair with something they are truly thrilled and excited to show off!  The event you are hosting and the number of anticipated guests will determine the type of art that can be offered and the number of ppl who can be served on average per hour.  

• Should you require speed art with specific limited options for larger crowds, this can be accommodated. Speed art is a minimum of 3 min pp. with transition and quick santitizing  in between guests. 

• Professional brands such as GTX, Tag, Superstsar, FAB, Global, DFX, Wolfe, Mehron, Fusion, Krylon, Cameleon. All paints are manufactured for professional cosmetic use, and as such are safe to use on skin.  Rare, but some people can experience allergic reactions.  It is advised that you request a test patch to be carried out if you are at all unsure of any possible allergies.  All brushes are cleaned between use and  all equipment is sanitized between parties. 

💦 Having a Pool Party?💦 

Waterproof Paint or Glitter Tattoos that withstand water are now available! 

These products are special & take a bit more time to apply.

(These factors are  taken into consideration at time of booking/rate)

• A space of about 5x5' is ideal,  2 chairs  & a small table/ ledge space provided would be very much appreciated, but if not I can bring- not a problem.   

• Being placed away from loud sound systems & in a well lit area. 

• For outside venues, weather elements please consider: 

For the comfort & safety of your guests, a shaded area /canopy is required in high sun events and a heat source /indoor space made available if the temperature is below 10 degrees C.  Also, a back up plan in case of rain is HIGHLY recommended (facepaint + rain = 😢) 

• **If a canopy is required and you cannot supply, please advise. One can be provided for an additional fee**

• Also please consider space for a line/spectators. Often people like to watch the art applied so the area can get a bit congested. 

• Anyone who doesnt want to be painted. Young toddlers are not recommended as, as skin is not fully developed, anyone showing signs of possible skin infections or other medical conditions that may pose the risk of cross infection to others. 

•   Hygiene and Safety come first! 

• To remove facepaints simply use good old soap and water!  If you don't use soap, make up remover, moisturizers, cold creams, baby oil or coconut /olive oils work too especially as some colours have stronger pigments and may slightly stain skin, but will easily remove with these methods.
  
  

• Glitter tattoos can last up to 5-7 days depending on the area that they are placed.  They are waterproof.  Pat dry with a towel after bathing to avoid rubbing glitter or ink off the tattoo.  To REMOVE the tattoo, rubbing alcohol, baby wipes and baby oil will help break down the cosmetic glue for easier removal.  

• I ❤️ Love working with charities/good cause fundraisers and can be creative in meeting needs.  Please connect to explore further.

• The never ending dilemma of line ups... 

• Yes! I have a few options for larger events.  They are both technology based that would require assistance for guests to navigate /use.  Please ask  for more information, An additional fee may be required to bring extra help for this if someone from your event is not able to assist.
