New London CT Face Painter and Princess Party Artist: Bianca G!

August 28, 2022 kscope

Bianca is an experienced princess performer, balloon twister, and face painter with a super interesting background!

She started as a party entertainer with Kaleidoscope in 2022, and brings an impressive background as an entertainer both through cosplay and as a professional Twitch streamer. Here’s what she has to say about herself:

My name is Bianca, and I am an avid cosplayer, Twitch affiliate, and Disney fanatic. Although I originally adapted my makeup and costume skills as a cosplayer, I was given many opportunities to truly shape my craft while performing at events and immersing myself fully into the characters I love.

I understand the difference between cosplay and a professional acting gig and the sheer importance of creating memorable experiences for families and children. I’ve worked with children for many years, having started my adult career as a camp counselor for 4 years. I pay special attention to character details, personality traits, and lore related to the universe they come from. I often hyperfocus on these details because they help the characters come alive.

I’m thankful to have become a face painter and balloon twister more recently, because while I get the greatest joy out of interpreting the characters I love, it’s a new creative challenge that I’ve loved to explore!

I am Mexican-American, and I take great pride in my Latina heritage and culture. I’ve always been particularly enamored by Honey Lemon from the 2014 Disney film, Big Hero 6; but, I also deeply connect with Queen Elsa and Rapunzel. It always brings me great joy to portray the latter characters, who are prominently depicted as Caucasian, because it shows others (and especially children of color!) that their favorite Disney princesses can look just like them!

At Kaleidoscope, Bianca will be interpreting a number of princesses, pirates, and fairies that are unique to her. 

In addition to her fantastic background as a cosplayer and princess, she entertains here doing:

Face Painting Ingredients and Safety (Updated 2024)

April 6, 2020 kscope

Ever wonder what’s in face paint? (Is it really paint? Does it have any peanuts, soy, milk, or animal products? What about latex? Heavy metals?) What about perfumes? Is it okay for sensitive skin?

We use only 2 supplies for 2 brands of face paint–“face paint” being a misnomer since what we really put on children’s faces is kid-friendly makeup.  Face paint should never be done with actual paints! Our makeup is free of cancer-causing metals, unlike actual paint, all safe for skin, and cruelty-free.

Below is a full list of all of our face paint brands and their ingredient lists. If you have any additional questions, please contact our office during the booking process and we’d be happy to answer them!

June 21, 2016 kscope

If you’re having a huge event (read: more than 100 guests looking for entertainment) Kaleidoscope has a few ways we can speed up your lines!

Let your guests grab-and-go a fast design, or stay-for-the-pro if they’re willing to wait!

Just hire two or four artists (depending on your event size): one to crank out tiny designs for wiggly toddlers or on-the-go parents, and a second to take their time on more elaborate designs.

 Interview with Alyssa: Worcester MA Face Painter & Balloon Twister

How did you become a face painter for hire?

In my senior year of high school I knew I wanted to go into events management, so I thought working as a face painter for kids parties would be a fun way to start that work right away. I also already had experience baby sitting and loved taking art classes, so I was excited to try!

Do you like face painting or balloon twisting more? Why?

It’s hard to choose, but probably face painting because it scratches that “creative itch” that I think we all have. Balloon twisting is fun too, but it’s harder to improvise with.

What’s one thing you wished all clients knew?

That we’re human too! 99.99% of clients do remember this, but sometimes I have to remind them that we can’t be outside in 100* weather in the direct sun or outdoors when it’s below freezing. I know there is a certain vision for your event, but sometimes we need to be more practical than conceptual with event set-ups.

What’s one event you’ll never forget as a kids’ party entertainer?

I once was hired as a face painter for a 1st birthday with over 200 people! It was like bigger than a wedding, it was so fun to be a part of and everyone was so nice to me.
