About Us
Hello, we’re Chloe & Deklan — the team behind CL Paints.
CL Paints was created from Chloe’s passion for creativity, makeup, and art. The name itself comes from Chloe’s name — the “C” stands for Chloe, and the “L” stands for Lauren, her middle name.
Meet Chloe
Chloe is qualified in Makeup, Hair, and Prosthetics, and is the creative artist behind all the face painting designs you see. With a Grade A in GCSE Art alongside her makeup training, creativity has always played a huge role in her life.
Chloe originally dreamed of attending the prestigious Delamar Academy in London to pursue a career as a professional Make Up Artist working on film sets. In 2021, she had the incredible opportunity to work with Mamma Mia! UK and International Tour at Hardwood House in Leeds, where she worked backstage and front of house alongside the cast and crew. Thanks to her qualifications, Chloe was also able to assist the Wigs and Hair team backstage — an experience that strengthened both her skills and passion for the industry.
Although Chloe was unable to continue her plans of attending the academy after falling pregnant in 2023, her passion for makeup and creativity never faded. Instead, it inspired a new journey — the creation of CL Paints. Today, that same passion goes into every design, bringing colour, creativity, and fun to every event. Our son has even become the perfect little model for trying out new face painting ideas — and he absolutely loves the attention!
Meet Deklan
While Chloe focuses on the creative side of the business, Deklan manages everything behind the scenes — from bookings and payments to accounts and administration — helping keep CL Paints running smoothly as the business continues to grow.
Outside of CL Paints, Deklan works at a local ice rink where he enjoys teaching people how to skate. Having previously played ice hockey himself, he has always stayed closely connected to the sport. Running a business has always been a dream of his, and together with Chloe, that dream has now become a reality.
Deklan has also been a qualified lifeguard since 2019 and has completed additional safeguarding training for both adults and children, alongside emergency first aid qualifications. Through his work in the leisure industry, he has dealt with a wide range of incidents, including high-pressure emergencies, helping him develop a calm, professional, and caring approach in everything he does.
Together, we’re proud to bring creativity, fun, and unforgettable memories to every event through CL Paints.
