TERMS AND CONDITIONS
You must provide:
- A suitably protected area to work in, with adequate lighting. This means that the area is either indoors or in an outdoor area with cover or protection from sun, rain, or wind.
- A table OR WORK SPACE FOR SUPPLIES TO BE LAID OUT.
- A line manager IS HELPFUL FOR LARGE PARTIES . Since I need to spend my time concentrating on whoever I am painting, it helps tremendously if you can assign a volunteer to help manage the line, make sure each guest can choose a... show more
design, and figure out who is next to be painted. This can be a family friend or even a responsible teenager.
RULES
Babies and Toddlers: if they seem particularly fussy and do not seem to want to be painted, I will not force them.
Paint “melting” off: Generally, my designs should stay on for at hours on most people. However, please be aware that the designs may smudge or “melt” off if the child is rubbing their face or sweating profusely, such as jumping around in a bounce house.
Gaining Permission: You must gain permission from the parents of minors to allow me to paint their children. Please make parents aware they are allowing me to paint their children at their own risk.
Photos:I would love it if you emailed me any photos you take of me painting at the event, or the designs, as the photos are often the best advertisement! I also may be taking photos of the designs during the event to use as examples, and will send them to you free of charge if you provide your email. If a parent does not want their child to be photographed or their photo to be used on my website, please have them inform me, and I will immediately take it down or crop the design to not show any identifying features.
Instagram: Most looks can not only be seen on this facebook page but instagram as well. Please search or use #makeupmatchup on instagram to see or post a featured facepainting design I have done. You can also follow me on instagram @pulchritude101chakira .
Health: All people to be painted must be in good health. I will not paint anyone who is visibly sick (runny nose, cough, etc), has skin conditions, or open sores in the area to be painted. If a child cannot have their face painted, I may offer to paint their hand or arm instead. This is to ensure that all my supplies are kept sanitary and I do not spread anything to the other kids. It is also for the child’s own safety.
Supplies and Allergies: I use only the highest quality, FDA approved cosmetic grade paints designed especially for face painting (snazaroo and Diamond FX). The brands I use are the least likely to cause allergic reactions, but some children are especially sensitive. If you have a guest that you believe falls into this category, please have them inform me at the beginning of the event, and I will do a “paint allergy test” on a patch of their skin. Client also understands that darker face paints may linger and must be removed with a baby wipe, mild soap, water and washcloth.
Finishing everyone: I will do my best to complete as many faces possible within the allotted time. However, since the complexity of each design varies, that is dependent upon which designs your guests choose and how many guests there are. I can generally paint about 10 to 12 guests in an hour. So if you book me for two hours and have 100 guests, please let them know that I will not be able to paint everyone. Sometimes we have an event booked right after yours and we may not be able to stay past stop time contracted here.
When Time is almost up: When it is getting close to the end of time you’ve booked me for, I will do my best to finish the remaining people in line and have someone find you to let you know that I will be leaving soon. However, if a large number of people are still waiting,If you desire, and if I do not have another appointment afterward, I can stay and finish all the guests in line for an additional $30 per hour past the allotted time.
Liability Statement: While we use ONLY FDA approved cosmetic grade face painting supplies, Artist is not liable for allergic reactions to paints. People with skin allergies or sensitive skin should either not participate, or have Artist perform a patch test at the beginning of the party. Client understands that darker face paints will linger and must be removed with mild soap, water and washcloth. For safety reasons, Artists will not paint children who are unwilling. Artists will not paint anyone who is or appears to the Artist to be sick or suffering from cold sores, conjunctivitis, ringworm, sunburn, eczema, any infectious skin condition or open wounds. These determinations are at the Artist’s discretion. Artists will use reasonable care, but is not responsible for damage to clothing or property. Artist is not responsible for any injuries, negligence, allergic reactions, or incidences caused by unruly behavior by guests during a party. Client acknowledges that there are risks inherent with live entertainment. These include, but are not limited to, dangers from tripping over equipment, dangers from paint and paint brushes. Client assumes the liability for all such risks and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Chakira Gonsalves / Pulchritude101 makeup and face painting against any and all accidents, claims, judgments, costs or liability for damage, injury to any person or property during the Event including time of set up and take down, by guests and staff. The Client agrees to pay for any accidents or injuries caused by pets or guests, and/or any damage to Artist’s equipment or supplies caused by pets, lawn sprinklers, or guests. Under no circumstances will Artists supervise children. Their behavior and safety is the Client’s and/or Parents’ responsibility.
