Dazzling Faces

Face Painting

Face painting, done at party speed

One painter does 10–12 faces an hour — a 20-child party is covered in about two hours. Book us for any event in the Johannesburg or Tshwane metro areas (a travel fee applies to every booking, and is larger further out).

The paint is water-based, hypoallergenic and cosmetic-grade, for ages 2 and up. It washes off with mild soap and water.

We arrive with our own folding table, chairs and equipment. All we need from you: a spot in the shade, because face paint melts in direct sun.

Superheroes, animals, princesses and unicorns top the request list — but tell us your theme in advance and we’ll do our best to incorporate it into the face painting.

Everyone chose a different design and all of them came out amazing. I’m very pleased with the service that was delivered and the patterns stayed put all evening.
