FAQ

1. How Do I Wash Off the Face Painting?

Because I only use Safe Products on your guests, clean up is a breeze:

1. Massage a quarter-sized amount of liquid baby soap (no water) onto the design area.
2.  Dampen a dark washcloth with warm water and gently wipe off the makeup and soap lather.
3. Towel dry and off to bed!
4. Really though, using the washcloth is the most important part :)

2. What Kind of Paint Do You Use?

Great question!  I actually don’t use paint. I use water-activated makeup with special sponges and brushes to create my designs.  It washes off easily if you use the above steps.

Some of the brands I use are linked below:

3. Do You Teach Face Painting?

Yes, I do. I teach face painting at several large children’s entertain conferences and conventions each year. My classes are highly sought after and my fellow entertainers seek out my advice and guidance in nearly every aspect of our craft. I also occasionally teach special advanced technique workshops in the Washington D.C., Northern Virginia, Maryland area.

4. What if I Need More Than One Face Painter for My Event?

If you need more than one face painter for a corporate picnic, family reunion or other multiple hour job then I’ll take over the responsibility of arranging for the other painter(s) who will come with me.  You pay me and I pay them.

This means less hassle and stress for you.  Plus I know who I can trust to keep up with me.

5. Are You an Artist?

Isn’t this one funny?  The kids ask me this all the time and it makes me smile deep down.

I was never “into” art before I found Face Painting. And yet face painting come to me naturally, like I have been doing it my whole life (or like I was meant to be doing it my whole life!).

6. How Can I Get the Solid Bling Tattoos to Last Longer?

These tattoos are water resistant so showers, moon bounces, pool parties, and disco dancing won’t wash them away.  They normally last up to 5 days with the following care:

1. Pat with a towel after baths and swimming – Don’t rub the Bling.
2. Avoid heavy moisturizers in the area – Don’t oil the Bling.

When you are ready to Remove the Bling:

1. Massage Baby Oil onto the tattoo area and wipe with a soapy washcloth
(takes a few minutes but is gentler)
2. Or soak the design area with Rubbing Alcohol on a paper towel and rub gently
(quicker removal and my preferred method)

9. Do You Face Paint at the Renaissance Festival?

Yes! I get asked this question all the time and I can finally say “Yes!!!!”  I’m now a face painter at a friend’s booth – he has been with the Maryland Renaissance Festival for over 25 years.  2010 was my first season and I loved every minute of it!

Despite my massive collection of Festival clothing, I will come to your event dressed in a dark polo and slacks.
