Face Painting

I love making children's parties extra special! Happy to work in with your theme. For outdoor parties or events, a sheltered/shaded area is required. Only non toxic professional paints and glitter are used. Based in Auckland, NZ. I am happy to travel, however a travel fee may apply. Contact me below to add Sparkles and Smiles to your event. Want balloon twisting or the popular air-brush tattooing? No problem! Just ask in the enquiry form below! Also, check out the Instagram and Facebook links (just below) to see more examples of some of the lovely parties I have been to recently!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Make a Booking
Use the enquiry form above and Jo will reply promptly. A 30% deposit is required to confirm your booking. This deposit ensures your time slot is reserved just for you.
The remaining balance is due in full at least one day prior to the event. If you’re unsure about your event, we’re more than happy to pencil in a tentative time slot with no deposit. Should someone else request the same slot, we’ll reach out to confirm before proceeding.

Overtime
Depending on other bookings that day, I may be able to stay longer. The minimum booking length is 1 hour. Please let me know in advance if you know there will be more children needing face painting than the number of children originally quoted for. I am happy to discuss extending the time.

Bad Weather Cancellation Policy
At Sparkles and Smiles, we understand that weather conditions can sometimes disrupt planned events. We are always happy to try and accommodate a plan-B venue if required. If you need to cancel your booking due to bad weather, please note a cancellation fee of 20% of the total invoice will be applied.
If you wish to reschedule the event due to bad weather, we will make every effort to find a new date that works for both parties. Any payments made will be applied toward the rescheduled date. Please contact us as soon as possible to discuss any weather-related concerns.

Refund Policy
We understand that plans can change, so we’ve designed our booking and refund policy to be clear and fair while ensuring we can accommodate everyone’s needs.
If you need to cancel your booking for any reason two weeks out or more from the party date, no problem. We'll happily refund any payments made. However, please note if you cancel within 14 days of the booking date, the 30% deposit becomes non-refundable. As hopefully you can appreciate, we have likely turned away other bookings.

Products Used
Only the highest quality, non-toxic, cosmetic grade products are used. They are FDA compliant (USA), approved for cosmetic use and water based. It wears well for many hours and washes off well with water and soap. If your child has very sensitive skin and you'd like to know the ingredients please don't hesitate to contact me. I also use cosmetic Bio Glitter that is certified compostable. A true environmentally friendly alternative to PET based glitters. 

Requirements
I always bring everything I need with me. I just require shelter from the sun, wind and rain.

Health and Safety Policy
For the safety and health of all children I cannot paint anyone who appears to be obviously unwell (runny nose/temperature/rash) or has any other visible skin complaint (eczema, chicken pox, acne, cold sore, open wounds, eye infections etc). A good alternative might be a fun arm design.

Thank you for your support and cooperation! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
