Face Painting Essex

Friday, 6 March 2009

Tumshies provide face painting throughout London, Essex, Kent and Surrey. Face painting makes an ideal accompaniment to any occasion; whether you're hosting a private party or a promotional event.

Modern face and body paints are made according to stringent guidelines, meaning these are non-toxic, usually non-allergenic, and can easily be washed away. These are either applied with hands, paint brush, and natural sea sponge, or alternatively with an airbrush. When our team is out and about providing our face painting services in Essex we will often use liquid latex as body paint which allows for better perspiration, however care should be taken to avoid the painful removal of hair when the latex is pulled off.

As for Mendhi natural brown henna dyes are safe to use; however, synthetic black dyes can cause serious skin allergies, and require patch tests before the actual paintings commence. Jagua is a dark indigo plant based dye that is safe to use on the skin and is approved for cosmetic use in the EU.

Whatever the type of body paint (the same is true for cosmetics), should the skin show any sign of allergy, one should immediately cease using it. Moreover, it should not be applied onto open wounds, nor should it be applied too close to the eyes. It is not advisable to use paints or products which have not been formulated for use on the body as these can result in serious allergic reactions.

Manufacturers of widely available professional body and face paint include: Kryolan, Mehron, Snazaroo, Wolfe Face Art & FX, Ben Nye and Fardel.

Tumshies only use safe and tested products when face painting in Essex. For more details on our other services, including balloon modelling, tattoos, fake wounds, and nail art please Contact Us.
