FACE PAINTING
Ever popular with children and the young at heart - our face painting designs range from the traditional full faces and smaller cheek art through to more intricate fantasy makeup suitable for masked balls and 'grown-up' occasions.
With more than five years experience, our face painting expertise has been recognised with many awards and two World Records.
For more information about the CATS WHISKERS Face Painting team and our face painting Code of Practise, click here.
Brand Reinforcement
If required at promotional events, logo's or insignia can be quickly created with the use of face paints through stencils which are made in-house. We can also theme our work to a colour scheme or create specific designs for your promotion.
Static or Walk-around Setups
CATS WHISKERS Face Painting artists can either be static with a table set up to draw the participants and on-lookers to them or they can roam from table to table or entertain a queue with our walk about kits.
TEMPORARY TATTOOS
Temporary tattoos are a popular alternative from face painting particularly for older children and adults.
Stencil & Ink Temporary Tattoos
With over 100 stencil designs and fourteen colours of water-based matt and pearlescent ink to combine, these tattoos can quickly be created to match your tastes.
They are touch proof and water proof and can easily be removed at any time. They will last for approximately 3-4 days.
Glitter Tattoos
These are created using a combination of skin safe quick drying adhesive and colourful poly glitters. Some of our glitters are also UV reactive - perfect for night clubs! Glitter Tattoos can last for several days.
If you are interested in a tattoo that lasts a little longer, why not consider our Henna Tattoos?
BALLOON MODELLING
Our creative balloon modellers can enthral and entertain at parties, events or promotional occasions by producing fantastic balloon models such as flowers, penguins, dragonflies, puppies or even Spiderman in a matter of minutes.
The combination of face painting and balloon twisting can hold the attention of our audience longer and enhance their enjoyment!
Pirates can go into battle with a sword; flower fairies can dance with a flower or wear a flower hat; butterflies flutter by with wings and antenna.

CASUALTY MAKE-UP
Children and adults have a morbid fascination with blood and gore!
Casualty make-up is a fun activity where we create the walking wounded. Superb at a Halloween Party, great for themed parties & murder mysteries and an unusual activity for staff family parties!
Wounds workshops are also very popular with children. They can also be educational and we have worked with many groups creating wounds which are then "treated" as part of First Aid training.
Our casualty make-up uses theatrical products to create realistic wounds, broken limbs, bruising and puss! Some of the products used, such as the fake blood, may not fully set so are best for older children or less active events.
HENNA
This ancient form of body decoration is particularly popular for teenagers and adults. Henna is a natural product which stains the skin to produce a beautiful tattoo which can last several weeks.
Henna tattoos are created by applying a paste to the skin which requires about 30 minutes to dry. Therefore, we recommend that it is not suitable for children under the age of eight.
Commissions and Event
Our Henna tattoo artists are popular at family fun days & events. We also take commissions for one off designs for a special occasion or before a holiday.
Henna Parties
We can join you for the evening and create beautiful Henna designs for you and your friends whilst you enjoy each others company and a glass of wine.
Pregnant Tummies & Traditional Designs
Henna designs for weddings on hands and feet are popular in many cultures and are said to bring luck to the bride. It is also said to bring luck to expectant Mum's who have Henna designs on their pregnant tummies. Alternatively we can work with you to create a unique painted design for your pregnant tummy.
For more information about Henna and how it is used, please take a look at the very informative Henna Pages
LIVING STATUES, BODY ART & PREGNANT TUMMY PAINTING
Living Statues
Body painted living statues or themed characters are a focal point and attract attention at events or promotions. They will create an impact when they meet and greet your guests or distribute literature. Please contact us for more information.
Body Art & Body Decoration
We work with each of our clients to create a beautiful piece of art personal to them.
Many of our commissions are for fancy dress parties or balls and can be subtle skin decoration to complement an outfit; transformation working with costumes or larger scenes painted across chests and/or backs.
For commissions and model portfolio work we can arrange a professional photographer to capture the finished design.
Pregnant Tummy Painting
Celebrate pregnancy and enjoy the relaxing experience of having your bump decorated. In many cultures this is a tradition thought to bring good luck to the expectant Mum, as is decorating the pregnant tummy with Henna. We don't know about that but the photographs provide a wonderful keepsake of a special time. Why not use the photographs of your painted tummy as birth announcement cards?
