Face Painting Pricing Notes…

  • The recommended number of faces listed above allows us to face paint any design requested by each of your guests, including special requests not shown in our book of face paint designs that we allow your guests to review.
  • The actual number of faces that can be painted will vary slightly depending upon whether all the kids are able to sit still. Squirmy kids make face painting slower because we have to start and stop frequently in order to maintain top quality end-results. Squirminess can be a particular challenge for kids under age 2, so we recommend cute cheek or arm art instead of full face painting for the little toddlers.
