Face painting
for hire
Hire face painting for a children's party, family day or King's Day. We arrange a face painter and agree beforehand roughly how many children are coming.
A face painter at your party
When you hire face painting, you quickly think of a tiger or a butterfly. The tricky part is often everything else. How many children are coming, how long can they wait, and what do you do with a child who suddenly doesn't want to any more once they're in the chair? A face painter who does this regularly knows how to handle it.
We arrange a face painter to suit your party or event. Beforehand we ask about the number of children, their ages and the time available. Based on that, we decide on the choice of designs and how much time there is per child.
- A face painter, we arrange who comes
- Face paint and materials are brought along
- A card of designs for children to choose from
- Can be combined with one of our games or parties
Four occasions for face painting
Children's party
At the start of the party, while the last friends are arriving. Each child chooses a design, and the game starts with a group of tigers and pirates.
Family day
At a company family day, the face painter sits at a fixed spot. Children come by whenever they like, in between the other activities.
King's Day
An orange lion or a flag on the cheek. At a street market or neighbourhood party the queue can get long, so we use quick designs.
Shopping centre or event
Face painting during a theme day keeps families in one place for longer. Parents have a cup of coffee or look around while their child is in the chair.
What we look out for
Face paint goes on a child's skin, so it's handled with care. The face painter works with paint intended for use on skin and cleans brushes and sponges in between. Any spot with a small wound or irritated skin is skipped.
If a child has an allergy or sensitive skin, please let the face painter know. A small test on the hand or arm can always be done first.
It comes off with lukewarm water and a little soap, or with a damp wipe. Glitter sometimes stays on a bit longer.
Face painting at a bigger party
Face painting is a calm activity, which makes it handy alongside busier things. At a children's party we run, we do the face painting at the start and then the game begins. At a family day the face painter sits next to the games, so children can drop by in between.
For King's Day we like to pair it with a games afternoon for the neighbourhood. Children get their faces painted orange first and then join in the games.
We're based in Enschede and work all over the Netherlands. The price depends on the duration, the number of children, the date and the travel distance. You'll get a proposal within 1 working day.
Frequently asked questions
How long does face painting take per child?
A small design on the cheek is done in a few minutes, a full face takes longer. With lots of children we mainly choose quick designs, so the queue keeps moving. Let us know the number of children in your enquiry and we'll work out how much face painting time is needed.
Is face paint safe for children's skin?
The face paint used is intended for use on skin. Even so, a child can be sensitive to it. With a known allergy or sensitive skin, a test on the hand or arm is sensible, and any spot with a small wound or a rash is skipped.
From what age can children have their faces painted?
From about three it usually goes fine, as long as a child can sit still for a moment. Younger children often prefer a small figure on the hand to something on their face.
How do you get face paint off again?
With lukewarm water and a little soap, or with a damp wipe. Glitter sometimes stays on a bit longer. Take the face paint off before bed, or it'll be on the pillow the next morning.
