ABSOLUTELY!! Ensuring the safety of our services is our number one priority. Airbrush face painting is way, way more hygenic
than traditional face painting. No more icky brushes and dirty water that can transfer bacteria from one face to another.
With airbrush face painting, the only wet stuff that touches your skin is the make-up! We always airbrush designs on ourselves to demonstrate our artistic talents while performing at events.
Trust us...we wouldn't cover ourselves in this stuff if it wasn't safe!!
How much air pressure do you use?
We use approximately 15 psi (pounds per square inch) air pressure. This is an extremely low pressure and is totally safe for
applying make-up. It does not hurt, sting or itch. As a matter of fact, it is quite pleasant on a hot day!!
Beware
of any airbrush face painters who use more than 30 psi...it is very uncomfortable...and not safe!
What kind of airbrush paint do you use?
We do NOT USE PAINT! We use only FDA approved hypo-allergenic airbrush make-up and the highest quality theatrical make-up
supplies. The glitter we use to highlight our airbrush designs is polyester-based which makes it far safer than the
metallic-based glitters (
Beware
of face painters who use metallic glitter...if it gets in your eyes it can cause permanent damage!!). We have never yet
had an allergic reaction to any of our airbrush make-up or other supplies.
How fast is airbrush face and body painting?
One artist can airbrush approximately 45-50 designs per hour. Most designs can be completed in about 30-45 seconds and full
faces take about 7 minutes. When participating in large-volume events, we usually offer our 100 or more cheek, hair,
belly-button and leg designs. If you've got two of us airbrushing at once, we can create approximately 90-100 wonderful
designs in an hour!!! Traditional face painting just cannot compare!
How do the designs turn out so perfectly beautiful?
By using a combination of stencils and free-hand techniques, we can create intricate images with awesome colour variations
that are absolutely stunning! If you supply us with some artwork, we would be happy to custom-cut a stencil with your logo
or design...at absolutely no additional cost (please keep in mind that some logos may not be suitable for reproducing as a
stencil). If we add just a tiny bit of glitter to highlight the design... voila ...you are a walking masterpiece!
How do I take off the airbrush make-up?
Our airbrush make up will stay bright and vibrant for hours. When you would like to remove the design, simply use a bit of
magic soap and water (if you don't have magic soap, regular soap will work too!). If you are removing make-up from around
your eyes, a gentle, baby-type soap is recommended. It's so quick...it's so easy...and no mess!!
How can I find out more about airbrush face painting?
Check out our Fun Stuff page. We have included some links to excellent resources
that have info on airbrush face and body painting, airbrushes in general, clowning and lots of other really neat stuff!
Do you do the airbrushing dressed in your awesome clown outfits, or
can you perform in "plainclothes" too?
We would be just tickled to perform our airbrush face painting either in costume...or in plain, but spiffy clothes. We
have performed in "plainclothes" at bars, sporting events, even formal affairs! During the hot, muggy, icky, uncomfortable summer
months we definately prefer to perform in our plain (but funky) clothes. Comfortable entertainers...are happy entertainers!!
How can I find out about hiring Kinfolk & Friends for my next spectacular event?
