Your Shortcut to Booking Face Painting
See real options for face painters, compare, then enquire – free.
Face painting keeps a group of children happily busy at a backyard birthday in Frankston, a family day at a winery or a school-holiday party in a Rosebud park. Each child gets a design to take home and parents get a calm half-hour.
One face painter is listed for the Peninsula at the moment, a Melbourne-based entertainer who advertises Peninsula bookings. With a single option, it pays to enquire early, particularly for weekends in the summer holidays.
Things to confirm when you enquire:
Give the painter a shaded table, two chairs and a spot away from the jumping castle crowd. Send your date, address and the children's ages for a quote that comes directly from them.
One is listed right now, a Melbourne-based painter who takes Peninsula bookings. Check their availability first, then plan the rest of the party around it.
It depends on the designs, but simple ones take a few minutes each and full faces take longer. Tell the painter your numbers so they can suggest a booking length.
Professional painters use cosmetic-grade, water-based paint made for skin. Ask what brand they use and mention any known allergies before the day.
Yes, but shade is important, both for the children waiting and to stop the paint drying too fast. A gazebo or verandah is ideal.
Children from about three up to around ten enjoy it most, and older kids often prefer a small cheek design. Many painters also do glitter tattoos for teens.
Warm water, soap and a soft cloth take off most paint, and baby wipes help for glitter. Let parents know it washes off easily.
