Frequently asked questions

Are the paints safe for children with sensitive skin?

Professional face painters use dermatologically tested and certified paints. If a child has a known allergy or very sensitive skin, let the professional know before the session so they can adapt the materials accordingly.

How long does each design take?

A simple design takes between 3 and 5 minutes. More elaborate designs can take up to 10 minutes. A professional face painter can typically see around 10–15 children per hour depending on the complexity of the designs.

Can face painting be done outdoors?

Yes, as long as there is a shaded area and a comfortable chair for the children. Direct heat can affect the workflow, so the professional can advise you on the most suitable space.

From what age can children have their face painted?

From around 2–3 years old, when children can sit still for a couple of minutes. It is not recommended for babies under 2 years due to skin sensitivity.
