Suggested reads about Face Painting

What do face painting services include?

Face painting services include all the activities necessary to make a special event more festive by painting the faces of those celebrating or partaking in your special event. This can be a birthday party, wedding, Halloween party, office family day, corporate event, fundraiser or another occasion. 

This can include discussing the theme and appropriate face painting colours and designs, planning and setting up the area for face painting and implementing the designs on your event participants’ faces.  

Planning & choosing designs

Your Tasker can do face painting for a birthday party, work as a Halloween face painter or work as your face painter for a company event. Your Tasker can show you a selection of designs they have used and prepared for similar events in the past. As part of their preparations, you can also request unique designs you want for your guests.  

If you want them to do face painting for kids, you may request designs like your kid’s favourite animals, mythical beasts or popular superheroes. Are you hiring a local adult face painting Tasker for a corporate event? Go ahead and ask for that special design with your company’s colours or even your logo. And you can book Taskers to print customized company shirts as well.  

Preparing materials

After you’ve both agreed on the colours and face paint designs, your Tasker can get the appropriate paints and materials in the right amounts. Be sure to give your Tasker the exact number of guests or participants so they can get enough paint and painting supplies for your event.  

Setting up the face painting area

A few hours before your event begins, your Tasker can arrive at the venue to prepare their station. If this is for a corporate or charity event, you may need someone to make sure your hired face painter and other performers get the space they need and access the venue. 

Your Tasker can prepare the face painting area and ensure that anyone having their face painted is comfortably seated. If you have many guests, you can hire someone to assist and help them line up to get their faces painted. Why not hire someone to snap photos of your guests in their face paint, so they have a memento of the occasion? 

Applying the face paint

Once your Tasker is ready and the event is in motion, they can do the face painting on your guests. They can have your guests choose the design they want, apply the designs and give them time to dry. Your Tasker can work on as many guests as contracted and use fresh designs or touch up the designs for the duration of your event.

Adult face painting - small cheek/eye design

$250

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

3rd Feb 2024

My name is Jess. It's my leap year milestone birthday this year - meaning I am turning both 10 and 40 years old, because my birthday happens once in every four years! Anyhow, I'm holding an adult's 10th birthday for a 40 year old gal! The theme is Dress as Jess (colour clash, prints and patterns, boho, mix n match etc whatever reminds them of me). There'll be games, pizzas, a bubble machine. Date: Friday 1st March Time: 6.30pm to 8.30pm. 6.30pm start time, 2 hours? As cake cutting at 8.30pm or so. Location: Abbotsford Numbers: There'll be 35 to 40 people coming, so will need to churn through at least 30 of them. Design, look and feel: I would love face painting that has a boho/festival/whimsical vibe. Can be different designs to their liking or they choose from a selection. I imagine some mates would be conservative so perhaps something like below. For the conservative they'd prob just be fine with a dash of glittery paint around the temple area or something. Scope: Given the numbers, I was thinking maybe face painting everyone's outer eyes to the cheek area (temple area?) to make it fast and quick, rather than forehead and whole face? Is that doable within 2 hours? Before Cake cutting at 8.30pm. Also wasn't sure if face painting in that area vs jewels vs chunky glitter paint cost the same? Happy with economical option. See below for inspo via video reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw19TA_oPB9/ or this website from Canada: https://www.glitter-arty.com/adult-face-painting - Due date: Needs to be done on Friday, 1 March 2024

Makeup/face paint for a surrealist themed party costume

$50

Parkville VIC, Australia

14th Dec 2023

I'm going to a party with the theme "Surrealist Spectaculare" and require someone to do some creative and bizarre makeup/face paint for a male costume. I'm not completely sure what I'll be wearing yet but I'm thinking about wearing a suit. I'm flexible on the location but prefer Melbourne inner suburbs. "The characteristics of surrealism include strange images or bizarre juxtapositions, unconsciousness as a valid reality, dream-like artwork or symbolic images, automatism techniques to create random effects, distorted figures or biomorphic shapes, depiction of perverse sexuality, and chance or spontaneity." - Due date: Needs to be done on Saturday, 16 December 2023

Jiyana took on such a unique and creative task with this request and I'm so impressed with the outcome. She managed to include an incredible amount of detail and was committed to a high level of quality :)
