About Queen Face Painting
Queen Face Painting is run by Leanne Flakemore, a long-time Hobart resident who has worked as a professional face painter for more than 17 years. She has trained at workshops with experienced face and body artists. Her designs range from soft rainbow masks and butterflies to bold skulls, lizards and sports-team colours on cheeks and forearms. Birthday parties are a core part of the work, from a handful of children in the backyard to bigger gatherings, fairs and school fundraisers. Two add-ons sit alongside the face paint. Glitter looks use fine, chunky and liquid cosmetic-grade glitters, and hair feather extensions are fixed with a small crimped bead – no heat or glue – so they stay in until removed with tweezers. Painters carry Working With Vulnerable People cards and public liability insurance, use paints made for skin, and only paint children who want to be painted. Anyone with signs of illness, a skin condition or a known allergy is not painted. The host provides a sheltered, safe spot to work, with lighting if painting runs after dark; a gazebo and lights can be supplied at extra cost. Children stay under the supervision of a parent or carer while they wait.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of designs does Queen Face Painting do?
Designs range from rainbow and butterfly eye masks to animals, skulls, lizards and sports-team colours, painted on faces or forearms. Glitter looks and hair feather extensions can be added for children who want some sparkle.
Is the face paint safe for children's skin?
Only professional-grade paints made for the face and body are used. Even so, face paint can cause a reaction, so a child with a known allergy is not painted, and painting stops if any sign of a reaction appears.
How do the hair feather extensions work?
A coloured feather is crimped into the hair with a small bead, with no heat or glue involved. The feathers stay in place until removed later with tweezers or small pliers.
What does the host need to provide on the day?
A safe, sheltered area to paint in, and adequate lighting if the party goes past dark. A gazebo and lighting can be brought along for an extra cost if the venue does not have them.
Are the painters checked and insured?
Yes. Painters hold a current Working With Vulnerable People card and public liability insurance, and a certificate of currency can be supplied on request.

I cannot speak highly enough of this amazing artist. We've had her skills at parties with our families, and seen her at many markets and festivals too. She is so gentle and patient and just so talented! My daughter runs…

Leanne is an absolute superstar. Very high quality work and she works quickly if needed! We hosted a party of 20 kids and they were very happy with their painted faces. Really great pricing and she’s fantastic with kids…
