About
Bonbon Facepainting is a face painting act for hire in Townsville City, QLD.
Eight years of painting small faces has taught Bonbon Facepainting what a kids' party actually needs: safe, hypoallergenic paints that are gentle on sensitive skin, designs kids ask for (superheroes, princesses, magical animals or something they've dreamed up themselves), and a friendly way with the nervous ones. Based in Townsville, Bonbon covers birthday parties, festivals and special occasions, and balloon twisting can be added on. Setup is simple: a sturdy table, two chairs and a patch of shade. Bonbon holds a current Blue Card and public liability insurance.
The show
Eight years of practice shows up in the speed. Bonbon gets through a queue without kids standing around waiting, and the designs still get proper attention: superheroes, princesses, magical animals, or whatever a child has decided they want to be that afternoon. The paints are hypoallergenic and gentle on sensitive skin. Nervous kids get handled patiently rather than rushed, which is honestly the bit that separates a good face painter from a fast one. Birthdays, festivals and bigger community events all work.
On the day
A sturdy table for the paints and brushes, standard size is fine. Two chairs, one for Bonbon and one for whoever's being painted, so nobody's crouching. And shade, which matters more in Townsville than most places: it keeps the kids comfortable and stops the paints drying out and going patchy in the sun. A spot under a tree or a marquee corner does the job.
Performance options
Painting time is booked in blocks and matched to how many children you're expecting, which is the practical way to size it. A shorter block covers a party of ten to fifteen. Longer blocks step up through the twenties, and the longest is the one to take for a festival or anything with a crowd rather than a guest list. Balloon twisting is a separate addition on top of any of them. Tell Bonbon the headcount when you enquire and the right block gets picked for you.
