We use the best and safest products, hiring or designing costumes and props and controlling budgets. Our designs are always bespoke and our body painting experience includes, illusion clothes, animals, metallic paint work, floral, abstract and literal illustrative art designs. We also create temporary, glitter, body decoration which is a fantastic new way to light up your events. They are great for dancers and physically active performers as the designs will stay put for the whole night and up to 4 - 6 days after that. If required we also are able to source professional photographers.
