Meet The Artist – Vanessa Busby

Creativity is contagious. Pass it on

Albert Einstein

Creating fun and vibrant designs for children and adults is what Vanessa is all about.

Watching children’s excited, smiling faces as she creates her magic is what drives her to do what she loves to do.

“Good times are never ending when we’re playing & pretending”

Since picking up a face-painting brush in 2002, Vanessa has engaged with people of all ages in creating a special magic. She has endless patience and her creativity has no bounds. If the child can think of it, she can create it.

She sees the magic of ‘facepainting’ as a great way to support a strong sense of emotional wellbeing, a sense of feel-good and, most of all, having fun in the safest way possible. Her interaction with her subjects is a joy to watch.

“Expressing my art through Face & Body painting is about creating excitement and joy with a healthy sprinkling of the magical in people’s lives.

What We Do

Parties, Functions, Fetes & Community Events

All About You Facepainting is the perfect addition to any celebration – bringing colour and cheer to birthday parties, functions, fetes and community events with expert face and body painting for kids and adults.

Facepainting offers children a chance to be “masters of the moment”, allowing them to use their imagination and self-expression as they choose ‘who they want to be’ on the day.

Creating fun and vibrant designs for children and adults seeing their smiling faces when they look in the mirror is what continues to drive me to do what I love to do

Our Party/Events packages also offer outdoor games to entertain your guests. We are continuing to grow our range of games.

Smart Bean Bag Game

Supports math skills, provides children with active play, develops gross motor skills and provides sensory stimulation of high colour contrast, tactile surfaces and large numbers

Magnetic Fishing Game

By Numbers and Alphabets is an interactive way for children to learn lowercase letters and numbers. The fishing skills required help children improve their motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

As an events organiser, I am over the moon with the quality of the work from Vanessa, and I so love seeing the happy kids’ faces after she has painted a cute mouse, spiderman or character that they adore.

What You Need To Know

Good to Know

We are totally committed to doing everything possible to safeguard you and your guests, but the appropriateness of facepainting and participation in this activity is at the individual’s own risk.

Children will always remain the responsibility of the parent, guardian or host.

We love bringing joy and happiness to those we facepaint. However, we will respectfully decline to paint any child under the age of 2 years of age or anyone who is under duress. Facepainting should be a fun and magical experience so you will understand why we would never want any child feeling fearful or traumatised.

Compliance

Giving you peace of mind around our professional services, All About You Facepainting artists are fully insured and have current Working- With-Children permits. We can supply copies on request.

Our Products

We understand the importance of what goes on people’s skin needs to be safe and gentle. That is why we only use professional, high grade quality water based cosmetic paints that dry to a very light powder soft finish. Designs can be easily removed with warm soapy water and cloth or with baby wipes.
While we have never experienced anyone reacting to our products, we are happy to spot test to check for sensitivity 30 minutes prior.

Keeping You Safe

We work to a strict code of hygienic practice. We use one clean sponge per person and ensure that all brushes and sponges are thoroughly cleaned & disinfected between sessions.

We never like to disappoint anyone wanting a facepaint, however we must take precautions in keeping everyone safe and well. Therefore, we will decline to paint any person who may appear unwell or suffering from the following symptoms which may include but not limited to; coughing, runny nose, cold sores, conjunctivitis, any infectious or non-infectious skin complaints, open wounds or similar

Covid-19 & post-Covid Protocols

All About You Facepainting takes serious consideration and precautions in following current advice and guidelines regarding Covid-19 to help keep everyone safe and well. We have a current Infection Control Certificate and have a Covid-Safe Plan for all events we attend.

Travel

We will travel anywhere, but “there’s no place like home”. If your event is more than 30 min away from Darlington, a travel fee will apply. If you are a little outside of the 30 min time frame, then please talk to us so we can work something out for you.
