Your Face Painting questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a face painter cost?

Face painting prices are $75 to $200 per hour for private parties or $5 to $25 per person for festivals. Face painting artists are a great source of fun for a kid's birthday party, nonprofit event, or wedding. 

Face painters can also give airbrush or glitter tattoos, but they cost a little more: $100 to $200 per hour.

Can you put acrylic paint on your face?

No, you should never use acrylic paint on your face, even if the paint says it's non-toxic. Acrylic paint is not made to go on skin and can irritate skin, especially on children. Professional face painters use high-quality, water-based, hypoallergenic face paint.

Do face painters charge for set up and tear down?

No, most face painters do not charge extra for the time it takes to set up or tear down. Their work stations are minimal, so they usually don't take a long time to handle.

Do face painters paint babies?

No, face painters typically do not paint faces for babies or children under age 3. Young kids and infants usually can't sit still long enough to apply a good design, plus there's more of a chance that the paint (or washing it off) would irritate their sensitive skin.

How do I remove face paint?

You can easily remove face paint with soap and warm water. Some lighter colors can come off with a simple baby wipe, while others may need some scrubbing with a washcloth.

How do I choose a face painter?

Before hiring a face painter, follow these steps:

  • Compare at least 3 prices from local companies.
  • Read painters' reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Look at pictures on their website if they have one.
  • Ask how they charge: a flat fee, per hour, or per person.
  • Request a detailed quote in writing.

Which questions should I ask face painting companies?

Asking the following questions can help you choose a face painter who will be the best fit for your event:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • Do you charge any fees for travel or other services?
  • Do you have a minimum time limit or service charge?
  • How many people can you usually paint per hour?
  • Do you charge lower rates for longer events?
  • What type of face paint do you use?
  • Can you do glitter or airbrush tattoos?
  • Can I see pictures of the kind of designs you have?
  • Which designs do you recommend, based on the number of guests I'll have?
  • Can you give me a contract or quote in writing?
  • Could you create a custom design or logo for my party? How much would that cost?
