ABOUT US
Welcome to Arty Expressions.

It's all about having fun......

Friendly, professional and trusted face painter of 6 years for children's faces and parties. Fully insured and DBS checked. Let us bring their imagination to life creating beautiful face painting designs for your children, creating colourful rainbows, pretty princesses, super heroes, butterflies and more. The list is endless. As well as face painting, we offer glitter tattoos, reusable hair bubble braids and festival glitter with beautiful face bling. We have something for everyone.

Based in Colwyn Bay, we cover Gwynedd, Conwy and Denbighshire.

I started face painting during my pregnancy of my now 7 year old boy. I booked onto a basic face painting course which I absolutely loved. As I enjoyed it so much I then booked onto a one stroke course and glitter tattoo's. I have not really stopped since then 😍 I am very creative and love working with children.







Face Painting

Children, Teenagers and Adults just love having their faces painted. It's fun creative and allows the imagination to run wild. It allows the inner hero, favourite character or animal to come out.

Festival Faces

Picture
Absolutely. My face painting kit will only include professional water-based face paint and cosmetic glitter.

All the products I use are not tested on animals and the make-up strictly complies with all EU/FDA regulations for cosmetics. They are made specifically for use on the skin and are made from approved cosmetic ingredients.

Brands I use include: Diamond FX, Snazaroo, Tag, PartyXplosion, Stargazer

I will only paint children aged 3 and over and who are agreeing to be painted. I can paint a small design on rhe arm of children aged 2. I will not paint anyone who objects to being painted. Sometimes a young child may not understand face painting and may object, in this situation I may offer a small design on the arm or hand if the child is comfortable with this.
Anyone who, in my own opinion, appears to have a contagious skin condition or illness such as a cold, conjunctivitis, cold sores, chicken pox or any other infectious skin complaint cannot be painted. I will however, when possible, offer a suitable alternative such as a small cheek or arm design.
I reserve the right to refuse to paint anyone who is abusive, violent or intoxicated.
A. Here are some tips on how to wash off your artwork:

Face Paint
  • The best way to remove your face paint is with soap, warm water, and a washcloth. ("no more tears" baby shampoo works great on kids so it won't sting their eyes)Using just the soap create a lather, then rinse and wipe with washcloth. Repeat if necessary -- no scrubbing needed!Do NOT use baby wipes as they are more likely to leave behind "trace stains". If trace stains do remain, apply a good quality facial lotion or baby oil, wait 30 minutes, and gently wash the area again with warm soap and water.

Glitter Tattoos
  • The best way to remove the glitter tattoo is to simply use hand sanitiser. The alcohol will take the adhesive as well as the glitter right off the skin. Removing the glitter tattoos after a bath or shower is easiest, while the skin is still damp

9. What if it rains or is windy?

Our equipment has been designed for use in indoor and outdoor conditions. However when it gets wet the equipment may become slippery and therefore increase the possibility of injury to users. In such cases the equipment should NOT be used. We reserve the right to cancel any booking if the weather conditions are such that it is considered unsafe. When there are high winds or bad weather then the equipment should be deflated and covered over with a tarpaulin sheet. The industry recommends a maximum wind speed of Force 5 on the Beaufort scale of 19-24 mph. In the event of wind conditions reaching Force 5 (19-24 mph) all users must leave the inflatable and all electrical equipment must be turned off from the mains, by a responsible adult.

12. Is all of your electrical equipment PAT tested?

Yes if equipment is over a year old, however any items that are under a year old are covered under Manufacturers warranty and therefore will not be PAT tested.

13. How long does it take to set up/pack up an inflatable?

The average bouncy castle takes approximately 20 minutes to set up and about the same to pack away. Please note that larger inflatables will take slightly longer.

15. What do I do if my inflatable starts to deflate?

Make sure everyone gets off the inflatable immediately then check that the blower hasn’t detached from the inflatable & make sure everything is plugged in to the electrics. That should solve the problem.If you have any other questions that are not answered here please feel free to contact us on 07590 903 391 or email us at artyexpressionslaura@gmail.com

My Granddaughters 5th birthday party Laura came to our party for my Granddaughter and fitted straight in! So warm and genuine, with a real talent and flare with the paintbrush! Everybody loved it and the children were so excited about comparing face and body work. Most had their face done but a few had "tattoos" like Bampi (as I'm a tattoo artist) amazing addition to the party! Thanks again Laura!!
