Question 2

Can you put acrylic paint on your face?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Do face painters charge for set up and tear down?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Do face painters paint babies?

Accepted Answer

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.
