GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS

In 2006, Helen Eyre took part in two face painting team world records - both of which were achieved! The criteria for these challenges were to paint full faces (covering from forehead to chin and to both ears) using at least three colours applied with a brush and sponge.

One hour team challenge

On 3rd June 2006, at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire, Helen worked with four other face painters who together painted 409 faces in one hour to achieve the Guinness World Record. The event was organised as a fundraiser for the Rainbow Children's Trust Charity and was sponsored by SNAZAROO Ltd.

Four hour team challenge

Helen was part of the team of five face painters that painted 1071 faces in four hours to help raise money for the BBC Children in Need appeal on the 17th November 2006. The event was held at BBC Birmingham's studios at The Mailbox and was once again generously sponsored by SNAZAROO Ltd.
