Artistic Sparkle for Your Celebrations: Glitter Bars, Airbrush Tattoos & Face Painting for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs

With every generation in one room celebrating, different kinds of entertainment appeal to different people. Glitter-Arty has been part of a huge number of events over the past 10 years, so we have a good handle on what works for whom. Our face and body art services, from glitter bars to temporary tattoos, appeal to anyone over the age of 3, right up to a guest living it large at 100. We adapt our artistry to age, style and personality, and we pour our heart and soul into each design so that it suits the guest in front of us.

Here’s a little insight into how it all comes to life across a celebration.

Our Glitter Bar

Our glitter bar is packed with hundreds of cosmetic glitter mixes, from subtle and barely there to full maximalist sparkle, so our glitter artists can create everything your heart desires. Our artists have the skill and experience to take in the guest, the outfit and the mood of the evening, and then build the design freehand, with handmade gem clusters and fine painted detail where it suits. No two designs are the same, because no two guests are. A fifteen-year-old and a grandmother can sit in the same chair and walk away with something that feels completely their own. For the super jewelled sparkly looks, our gem bar is the perfect add-on. Whether you’re leaning towards a festival look or a sophisticated evening one, it creates looks that sparkle right across the venue.

Hand-Painted Face Art

This is where the artistry shows most. Forget the traditional notion of children’s face painting. Think delicate florals, jewelled detail around the eyes, metallic accents and flowing, elegant patterns, each one painted freehand and shaped to suit the face it’s on. We specialise in adult face art, and creating elegant designs is our thing. Our talented, experienced artists have been creating happy mirror moments for many years.

Roaming Artists

Our glitter bar, gem bar and glitter face painting all work well on a roaming basis if your event space is short on room. Our artists wear their kit on their waist and approach guests wherever they are in the celebration.

Henna

Our henna artists have years of busy event experience under their belt, so we can create intricate, delicate motifs that are impactful enough without needing full coverage of both hands. We use only homemade, natural Rajasthani henna, which smells divine, and the stain can last for over a week. We can create traditional designs, or go off piste with modern, contemporary designs, which could include the guest’s name or monogram, or the Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebrant’s. Henna designs can also be finished off with glitter. Or, for a subtle, understated look without the stain, white henna is a lovely alternative. See our Henna here.

Airbrush Tattoos and Custom Stencils

Glitter face art may not appeal so much to teenage boys, but our airbrush tattoos are a great fit for them. We create the faux tattoo look with graphics and iconic motifs, from a full sleeve to a smaller glow-in-the-dark neon graphic on the arm, so there’s something for everyone’s taste. For those who prefer something prettier, designs can be adapted to each request and finished with metallic golds and silvers, along with glitter and sparkle. Airbrush tattoos stay on the skin for several days, and they don’t transfer or smudge. If you’d like to take your event logo or monogram to the next level, we can create bespoke stencils to make them personal: initials, the date, the name of the celebrant, or a symbol that means something to the family. See our airbrush tattoos.

UV Neon: Glow in the Dark

For celebrations with a nightclub vibe, our neon makeup has all the energy to glow brightly. Whether the look is created with our airbrush or hand-painted, designs can range from tribal to dainty florals.

Made for the Celebration

Every design is a keepsake, held on in the photos and memories long after the party. Our artists take care to serve each guest with love and attention, and the whole look is built around your celebration: your colours, your theme, and whatever the Bar or Bat Mitzvah is into, from fashion and music to sport and travel.

Even our event nail art follows the same idea. It’s a fun, engaging way to add colour and personalisation for each guest, whether that means including the event monogram, logo or colours. Our nail artists use the highest quality nail lacquers, from transparent and opaque to glittery. We spend time with our clients well before the day, talking through the look and the feel of the celebration, so that the artistry fits the occasion.

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah marks a special milestone, and the best celebrations leave guests with something personal to remember them by. Beautiful face and body art can become part of those memories, with designs as individual as the guests themselves.
