What can face and body painters do at an event?
Event face painters create quick, eye-catching designs for adults and children: glitter and gems, painted masks, festival looks, mermaid scales and winter frost. Body painters can also paint performers or models in full designs as a living centrepiece.
Face painting works as an interactive station where guests queue for a look, which suits family days, festivals and themed parties. For adult events, glitter bars and quick themed designs are the most popular choice.

Are the paints safe for skin?

How many guests can a painter see?
It depends on the designs. Quick glitter looks take a few minutes, detailed designs take longer. We advise on numbers.

Yes. A painted performer or model can be prepared before the event as a living centrepiece.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.
Can the performers match our theme or brand colours?
Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.

Yes. We agree access, changing space, timings and any venue rules before the day, and work to your run of show.
