Frequently Asked Questions

Glitter Tattoos: A stunning combination where skin-safe body adhesive meets a rainbow of cosmetic glitter. They dry quickly and stay completely waterproof for 3 to 7 days.
Sparkle Henna: Traditional, intricate henna-style designs applied using our long-lasting, waterproof cosmetic body adhesive and shimmering glitter pigments. It gives you the look of elegant body jewelry that lasts for 3 to 7 days.

Our premium Festival Glitter Bar adds high-impact glamour to any event! We use rich glitter creams and glitter gels to add beautiful highlights to the face and hair. The thick cream base ensures the glitter stays locked in place with zero airborne fallout on the floor. We also feature gorgeous artisan face gems (rhinestone crown and cheek clusters) to perfectly elevate costumes and formal wear!

We specialize in Stenciled Color Pop Art! Instead of slow, freehand face painting, we use specialized stencils to apply crisp, high-speed, vibrant designs to the cheeks or arms. It is a massive hit with kids and keeps large event lines moving fast!

Glitter Tattoos & Sparkle Henna: 100% waterproof and smudge-proof! They hold up beautifully in pools, showers, and spray parks. Do not scrub them. Gently pat them dry with a towel.
Glitter Creams & Color Pop Stencils: NOT waterproof. Our glitter creams and stenciled face art wash away cleanly with standard warm water and mild liquid soap or baby shampoo.

Do not scrub the skin raw! Hold a cotton pad soaked in baby oil, rubbing alcohol, or an oil-based lotion over the design for 30 to 60 seconds. The oil breaks down the cosmetic adhesive, allowing you to wipe the glitter away safely.

Cancellations: If you cancel the event, your payment will not be returned.
Rescheduling: The business may, at its sole discretion, allow you to transfer the payment to a future date.
High-Velocity Capacity Limits: We specialize in elite, line-clearing entertainment. A single professional artist will effortlessly process a minimum baseline of 15 children per hour. This hourly output may scale even higher depending on the complexity of the specific designs selected by the guests.
Standard Arrival Buffer: Our mobile studio rates include an automatic 30-minute on-site arrival and setup window immediately prior to your live service hours.
Facility & Venue Rules: Vendor arrival is timed precisely to this 30-minute window. If your venue or community facility enforces a mandatory safety lockdown, wave-arrival schedule, or setup window earlier than 30 minutes, you must explicitly arrange this with our studio in writing at the time of booking. Extended on-site waiting periods requested by the venue are subject to an additional administrative fee of $50.00 CAD per hour.

Shelter Requirements: If your space cannot accommodate our 10x10 canopy, you must provide a safe, completely sheltered, and dry work area. Acceptable options include an indoor room, garage, covered patio, or a smaller heavy-duty commercial pop-up tent with sidewalls.
Product Needs: Cosmetic glitters, stencils, face paint, and skin adhesives require a dry, moisture-free environment for proper application and hygiene.
Inclement Weather: The artist reserves the right to pause or stop operations if outdoor conditions become unsafe or unworkable. This includes heavy rain, lightning, hail, hail warnings, or sustained winds over 30 km/h.
Weather Cancellations: If severe weather forces a cancellation before the event starts, your upfront payment will be held as a credit.
Credit Expiration: You can apply this credit to reschedule an alternate date or indoor venue within 12 months, subject to artist availability.
No Refunds: Refunds will not be issued for weather disruptions that happen after your event has already started.

Skin-Safe Glue: Our body glue is a dermatologically safe, latex-free cosmetic adhesive designed specifically for use on skin.
Application Restrictions: Temporary tattoos are recommended for ages 3 and up. While our standard waterproof body adhesives are never applied to the face, our face art services utilize ultra-gentle, cosmetic face paints that are 100% skin and eyelid-safe.
Sensitivity Testing: If a client or parent has concerns regarding sensitive skin, a small patch test can be performed on the wrist 30 minutes prior to full application.
