to ensure that members work in a safe and practical fashion:
Only use face paint products that

Check and read carefully the
manufacturers recommendations on each product.
It is advisable to ask whether
child/adult has had their face painted before.
It is not recommended that
children under the age of 2 are painted..
It is recommended that children
aged 2 to 3 years have a small design on the cheek, hand or arm only.

eczema, open cut, conjunctivitis or other infectious conditions should not be
painted.
It is recommended that painters
use a clean sponge for each face painted.
Change face painting water
frequently.
Maintain a high standard of
hygiene by keeping yourself and your kit clean as you work.
Be careful when using products
near eyes.
Only use cosmetic grade glitter.
Ensure faces are clean.

liability insurance and are professional face painters of a high standard having
passed a certification process to become a member. FACE members' professional
standards are reviewed annually.
Also,
all children must be accompanied by a parent or carer for face
painting.
If your child has
sensitive skin it is advisable for a skin test to take place prior to painting.
Masquerade

not take responsibility if an allergic reaction occurs.
Some staining may still be visible
after washing which will fade in time.
