Face painting at kids parties is becoming increasingly popular. Face painters of today are artists using cosmetic-grade paints and creating designs so amazing they go viral! When booking a face painter for your birthday party, corporate event, grand opening, or anything else, make sure you’re getting not only a great artist, but a safe and sanitary experience.
What’s your hygiene like?
Face painters must sanitize their brushes between dips and only use one sponge per child. (Face painters often use sponges for bigger areas.)
Are you insured?
All professional face painters are insured against accidents. This is especially important for corporate parties or company events.
How do I take face paint off afterwards?
It should be pretty easy, but some brands are easier than others. The face painter you book should be able to walk you through the removal or cleanup process.
Do you do background checks?
If you’re dealing with an agency who hires multiple artists, ask if they do background checks.
Are your paints vegan or cruelty-free?
Kids love animals, so why not ask? An increasing number of makeup brands contain no animal products and are not tested on animals.
Can you cater to my special needs?
From autism to non-English speakers, make sure the professional face painter you hire can accommodate to your needs.
What kind of paint do you use?
This is a “trick question.” A professional face painter will be using FDA-approved cosmetics that we call “paint.” It’s hypoallergenic and safe for kids, Make sure they don’t say craft paint, acrylic paint, or anything else not made specifically for skin.
