Easy communication around negotiations, on time arrival. I'm not sure I've ever seen such beautiful face painting work. Basically every child and a lot of the adults had their faces or hands or arms painted. Laura's beautiful art added so much to our joyous occasion. As an added bonus, when she finally ran out of painting work, she switched to balloon animals and swords, which the kids LOVED for the rest of the night. It hadn't occurred to me running around with long twisty balloons would be so much fun for kids, but it was great. I could not be more satisfied.

Katie's facepaint was the perfect ice breaker for an evening of dinner and dancing with a bunch of ladies who are all a lot of fun, but don't know each other extremely well. I invited all the ladies to my house for the pre-party where everyone got to know each and get excited for their turn in the makeup chair. In less than 2 hours, Katie did the makeup for more than a dozen of us and all my friends loved her! She was extremely professional, organized, and quick to set up and breakdown. Consider Gleam for your next bachelorette, office team building event, or adult birthday party! We were a beautiful gaggle of girls running all over the city with the best makeup ever!

Booking was easy and once done, I didn't think about it again until he showed up at the party! He (and Jess for face painting) came out to my daughters fairly small 2nd birthday party. He was immediately on to it and since we had so few kids, they were all able to stay occupied a few times over during the hour. He even made a very convincing garbage truck that my daughter loves, and even a week later with frequent play is still holding up pretty well (only one small part has popped). I was worried that because he was not dressed up, that the kids might get shy, but he was so personable and friendly, everyone enjoyed interacting with him. Jess was great too, even when painting on a very nervous toddler. They were both so friendly and talented, I'd definitely love to have them both at another party soon!
