Booking Face Painting: What to Know

Face painting is one of the simplest ways to give a young child's party a centrepiece. In Adelaide, mobile painters come to homes, parks and halls across the metropolitan suburbs, and many also twist balloons, so one booking can cover two activities.

Packages here start at $240, and the dearer tiers add extras such as party games and lolly bags. Before booking, ask how long the painter stays and how many children the visit is planned around.

Things to sort out when booking:

  • Headcount: tell the painter how many children to expect so they can plan simple or detailed designs.
  • Length: a longer booking lets every child have a turn without rushing the queue.
  • Designs: ask for a menu of options, from quick cheek art to full-face characters.
  • Extras: decide whether you want balloon twisting or party games added.

Face painting pairs well with a home party and simple food. For other ideas, the kids' entertainers page covers animal shows too.

Setting up for the painter

  • Provide a small table and two chairs, one for the painter and one for each child.
  • Choose a spot with good light and some shade, as summer sun dries paint fast and tires children.
  • Have a damp cloth and a bin nearby for quick clean-ups.
  • Keep the station a little away from the food table so faces stay neat.

Safety and skin

  • Ask what paint brands are used and whether they are made for skin.
  • Let the painter know of any child with eczema or allergies, and have parents confirm on the day.
  • Check that the painter skips broken or irritated skin as standard practice.
  • Remind families that most paint washes off with soap and warm water.

Questions About Booking Face Painting

How much does a face painter cost in Adelaide?

Packages on this page start from $240 per booking, with options to add balloon twisting, games and lolly bags.

How many children can one face painter get through?

It depends on the designs. Simple cheek art is quick, while full-face characters take longer, so share the headcount and the party length when you enquire.

Will an Adelaide face painter come to my suburb?

Mobile painters cover the metropolitan regions. If you are in the Adelaide Hills or the Southern Vales, check first and ask about any travel fee.

Is face paint safe for young skin?

Professional painters use cosmetic-grade products. Ask what they use and point out any child with sensitive skin before they start.

Can a face painter work at an outdoor party in summer?

Yes, with shade. Hot sun makes children restless in the queue, so set the station under cover and keep water handy.
