What do I bring with me?
My Face/Body Painting Kit
All the face body painting kit products I use are professional grade and hypo-allergenic. They are water activated, highly pigmented and vivid in colour, but don't stain and can be removed easily with soap and water. They are EU compliant. I'm not insured to paint anyone under 3 years of age - sorry.
My 'Glitter and Glitz Bar'
My stunning Glitter Bar is filled with an extensive range of multiple colours of festival glitters, glitter cremes and balms, face gems and 'liquid bling'. I also carry loose body glitter and tattoo stencils for use with temporary glitter tattoos.
All the products I use are UK compliant and safe for cosmetic use on the face, hair and body. I can also provide bio-glitter if requested.

WHAT MAKES THE ARTFUL DABBER DIFFERENT?
Queue-Free Face Painting with Queue Helper
When you book The Artful Dabber, you’re not just booking beautiful face painting or glitter art.
You’re booking a calm, organised, professionally managed experience.
No long queues.
No frustrated children.
No time wasting.
No stressed parents hovering.
I use a digital QR queue system called 'Queue Helper', and I’m currently one of the very few face painters in the UK using this technology for parties and events.
Here’s how it works:
• Parents join the queue by scanning a simple QR code with their phone
• They receive a text message when their child's turn is next
• They’re free to enjoy the party, food, bouncy castle or activities instead of standing in a line
• When it’s their turn, they return relaxed and ready
It completely transforms the atmosphere of a party or event.
Why this matters? Face painting is often the busiest attraction at a party or event. Without structure, it can quickly become the centre of stress.
Queue Helper allows me to:
• Maintain a steady, fair flow
• Avoid crowding around the painting area
• Keep everything professional and organised
It protects the experience for everyone.
The Result
Children get painted.
Parents stay relaxed.
Your party/event feels premium, well-run and thoughtfully organised.
It’s one of the many small but powerful details that makes The Artful Dabber different.
Because face painting should add magic to your event — not a queue. 🎨✨
