Face Painting by Hazel Wood
Fantastic faces for children and adults — from butterflies and animals to monsters, flowers and imaginative full-face designs. Based in Richmond, North Yorkshire, Hazel provides professional face painting throughout North Yorkshire, County Durham and the North East.
Colourful, professional face painting
Hazel is an experienced professional face painter and has provided face painting at children's parties, family fun days, festivals, weddings, community events and other celebrations.
She works quickly and carefully, using professional face paints, brushes, sponges and glitters to create designs that suit the age of the person, the event and the time available.
Great for parties and family events
Face painting works particularly well as a continuous activity. Children can come and go while other entertainment is taking place, and the finished faces add colour and atmosphere throughout the event.
A useful planning guide is around ten faces per hour, although detailed designs can take longer. For a children's party, allow roughly two hours for around twenty children.

Face painting for adults
Adults often enjoy face painting just as much, particularly at Halloween parties, themed events, weddings, balls, charity events and informal celebrations. Hazel can create dramatic full-face designs or more elegant eye and cheek designs depending on the occasion.
More than a few paints and brushes
Good face painting depends on preparation as well as artistic ability. Hazel arrives with a purpose-designed set-up and a wide selection of professional paints, brushes, sponges and glitters.
Good hygiene and an organised working area are especially important when working around children's eyes, noses and mouths. For busy public events, the set-up also helps keep queues moving and the working area tidy.
