Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

I have a degree in specialist makeup and during the course, I was introduced to body painting. Having worked with children for many years previously I adapted the skill and found I enjoyed being able to make kids so happy with something I equally enjoyed providing.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

There was an ever so sweet private party I had the pleasure to paint at where every single one of the little girls wanted to be a different coloured unicorn and once painted, I let them try to paint one on me as well and we trotted around the garden until I had to leave.
