Face Painters for Kids Parties

Face painting turns kids into superheroes, animals, storybook characters, or fantastical designs in minutes, making it one of the most popular add-on entertainment at children's parties. Professional face painters use hypoallergenic, safe products designed specifically for skin and wash out easily at home. A skilled painter can complete a design in five to ten minutes, so 20 kids can rotate through in under two hours. Popular designs include tigers and cats, ladybugs, butterflies, dinosaurs, superheroes, and glitter-studded patterns. Painters typically bring their own portable station with mirrors, paints, brushes, and sponges, requiring only a small corner of the party space. Most painters work two to four hour blocks and can paint continuously or offer scheduled slots depending on your preference. Pricing usually runs $200 to $500 for a two to four hour event, with rates based on the number of painters and event length. Many painters can also design custom makeup for a small additional fee.
